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.
