As described in the essay

, the word "single" these days has a murky definition. There seems to be some disagreement about whether Poster Child and Not the One are "proper" singles.

A bunch of reliable secondary sources describe these tracks as "singles" - for example, NME, Kerrang, Pitchfork, LouderSound, Guitar World, Spin. I can't find any sources that describe these instead as promotional singles, though Rolling Stone describes them as "LP singles"...

There is a social media post from Flea describing "These Are the Ways" as "the second single", which suggests (but only suggests) that the band sees Poster Child and Not the One just as promotional singles, but that's not strong evidence. Social media posts are also not the best sources for Wikipedia, as they're

sources - we prefer reliable secondary sources. I therefore think we should probably just list all four songs as singles. It seems like the simplest solution and doesn't depend on us guessing on what Flea's definition of a single is.

However, if anyone else has any other interpretations or evidence to share, I'm all ears. I don't feel strongly here. Popcornfud (talk) 13:22, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
