Information

"Supermassive Black Hole" was the first single to be released from Black Holes and Revelations. According to Bellamy, this was "a deliberate shock tactic" to "create a stir".[1]

The song was released as the third single from Black Holes and Revelations in the US in April 2007.

Pre-release

Before the release of "Supermassive Black Hole", it was widely believed that "Crying Shame" was to be the first single released from Black Holes and Revelations.[2] This rumour was soon dispelled by the band in one of their progress report messages.[3]

The CD was originally going to have a cover created by Storm Thorgerson (see below) that was later rejected by band in favour of Jasper Goodall's.

Many different varieties of promo were created for this release:

  • In the UK, four CD-Rs; a coloured one with a black and orange double sleeve and scratch away panel, another coloured one in a plastic sleeve with paper inserts, another individually numbered (1-200) and watermarked, and another made by Hit 40 UK.
  • In the EU, a promo CD in an orange sleeve.
  • In Australia, a CD-R with a coloured sleeve
  • In Mexico, a CD with a coloured sleeve
  • In Japan, two CD-Rs, one with a sleeve promoting the Summer Sonic Festival
  • In Denmark and Sweden, a different promo CD-R each
  • And in the US, another promo CD and promo CD-R.
