    Losing Grip- Should have been Anything But Ordinary

    When You're Gone- Should have been Runaway
    Hot- Should have been Innocence
    The Best Damn Thing- I'm sure nothing else would have been too much more successful, but I would have gone with Hot instead. TBDT sounds like a b-side for the Girlfriend single.

    Smile- Should have been Wish You Were Here
    Wish You Were Here- Should have been Everybody Hurts

    Hindsight is such a beautiful thing

    Let Go :

    perfect choices although I wished "Naked" to be a single too

    UMS : "Take me away" "Together" "Fall to Pieces" or "Forgotten" instead of "He Wasn't"

    Best damn thing : "One of those girls" instead of "The best damn thing" (song)

    Goodbye lullaby :

    - "Push" instead of "What the hell"

    - "Darlin" or "Everybody hurts" instead of "Smile"

    THE BEST DAMN THING - Girlfriend, Runaway, When You're Gone, I Can Do Better
    GOODBYE LULLABY - Stop Standing There, Smile, Wish You Were Here, What The Hell

    Replace When You're Gone with Runaway
    Replace The Best Damn Thing with I Can Do Better

    Hot was a magnificent pop single selection. It was played on the radio all the time here and I'd catch people at school singing it non stop. Hot ftw!

    Also, boo to Smile and basically boo to the whole Goodbye Lullaby era. Except maybe What The Hell and Wish You Were Here...

    Thank you! It was also played on the radio nonstop in my town! I know so many people that love Hot, and in my opinion, it was a great single!

    I knew her with the nobody's home music video, was the right song in the right moment so I totally disagree with you, I bought her album for this song and since that moment I'm her fan.

    Hot actually got airplay on mainstream radio?? Really???? I NEVER heard it played on the radio where I live.

    During the TBDT era, the only songs that I heard played on pop radio were WYG and Girlfriend. Even Girlfriend wasn't played that much.

    For TBDT, everything after Girlfriend was a damn mess. This is what should've happened:
    Girlfriend
    Runaway
    Innocence
    After these three, the era would've been solid and it wouldn't matter what came after.

    For GL:
    Smile
    Push
    Everybody Hurts
    I Love You

    I think the other eras were fine. Like, I don't see anything else other than Don't Tell Me opening the UMS era.

    Generally, I agree with the single choices because they choice a certain song for a reason. But, if I had pick I'd say -
    - I Can Do Better should have been a single. I know people will say it wasn't radio friendly but it is, and it's stupidly catchy.
    - When You're Gone was a good single choice, but I would have put it third, after ICDB.
    - Innocence would have been completely wrong. People here say WTH and Smile didn't represent Goodbye Lullaby. Well, to release When You're Gone AND Innocence from TBDT is the exact same thing, and contradictory. Don't get me wrong, Innocence is gorgeous, but When You're Gone was the Pop Ballad, not innocence.
    - I love everything about Smile, the video etc. But it was probably not the best choice considering some stations refused to play it. But then WYWH wouldn't have been a good second single, it would have contradicted WTH too much.
    - Mobile should have been a single!
    - Stop Standing There also should have been a single!
