    From a marketing standpoint, this single is genius. It’s got people talking and interested. It’s edgy and different. I think they know what their doing.  After 28 years, sometimes you gotta poke the bears to see if their still hungry.
    Yeah, I kinda like that this was surprising and not business as usual.

    Maybe its all just one big typo. LOL. If this is the annual single then it seems a bit of a rip off. Unless its sent out in the next couple of months then the new album could be out first. Still waiting here on the 2016 single.  I used to really enjoy the annual single but I dont think I would care if they stopped it. 
    I’m pretty sure this is just the first single from the new album. Not the annual single. 

    I would definitely care if they stopped the annual single. I love vinyl and look forward to the single every year.

    But they called it the 2017 annual single..... You think that was somehow a "mistake"?

    anything is possible here. our 2016 annual single is called the 2017 annual single.

    My email just says “2017 single hear the new PJ first”

    “Exclusive early download”
    Doesnt seem like it’s the “annual” single to me. But I could easily be wrong.

    again, it was mentioned that in the download section of the website that it was called the annual single.

    did they come right out and say that before the place exploded? or was it after 345 pages of "which year is this?!"

    No, they said it after everyone was completely confused, lol. But they did say it. Plus, only one of the items said 2017 (was it the single or the Deep mag?). The other item said 2016.

    Oh my bad!  I missed that.  I guess it is the annual single then.  Hopefully has an unreleased B Side then.  And maybe is different than the album version?

    While several may not like the song or the lyrics, from a marketing standpoint, this is by far one of their easiest song messages for the majority of the fan base to fall in line behind and also reach non-fans. With all of Ed's high profile appearances, he's also more recognizable to people than ever. They can easily market the hell out of this now and in the future if you relate it more generally to the wealthy elite. It's obviously inspired by our current government leadership, but that doesn't mean it's only about that.

    This will split a lot of fans at the live shows, but this message will be big at their concerts; shirts, stickers, fan signs. I think they wanted a song that made a statement about what they see happening and something people could get behind. The phrase "Can't Deny Me" can be applied to so many things; sexual assault victims speaking out, gun violence protests, women's rights, climate change, etc. I think it's actually pretty genius.

    It is the 2017 Ten Club Single.

    Optimism and strength and defiance now have the power....

    It is really nice to get some real clarification, thank you (not that this wasn't clear as day already since you specifically stated it in your announcements, but still, it's nice to get rid of any confusion).
