It's not totally correct.

Keep The Faith :
1. Keep The Faith (everywhere)
2. Bed Of Roses (everywhere)
3. In These Arms (not for the US)
4. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (everywhere)
5. I Believe (not for the US)
6. Dry County (not for the US)

These Days :
1. This Ain't A Love Song (everywhere)
2. Something For The Pain/Lie To Me (US only, double A single)
2. Something For The Pain (everywhere)
3. Lie To Me (not for the US)
4. These Days (not for the US)
5. Hey God (not for the US)
6. Wedding Day (Germany only)

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Sorry, I'm really not sure about this but I think that "Wedding day" was just a bonus to the "Someday I'll be Saturday night" single. But chances are good that I'm wrong.

Wedding Day hasn't been on any single version from Saturday Night. It was released at the UK version of one of the This Ain't A Love Song singles and on the Japanese single version from that song.

Later on, it was released in Germany as a one track CD single. The red version is the single, and the black one is the CD promo.

Both only contain the track Wedding Day itself, no bonus tracks. There hasn't been any video shot for this song.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

When you look at those non US singles, then it's little wonder why These Days wasn't a great success in America, as apose to Europe where it was a huge success.

I think it works the other way around actually. There are not a lot of singles from TD in the US because it didn't do well there. The first singles are released to boost album sales, but if they don't work, the companies don't insist.

Exactly. The other singles weren't released from KTF because Sleep made it only to number 98 in the Billboard hot 100. The same for SFTP/Lie To Me, the single bombed.

While I was looking in my archive I noticed ITA was released in the USA, it topped at number 27.

Yep, In These Arms was the 3rd single off KTF here in the US and #27 is correct.

Guess you're right.
I just thought that way because the girl who sold me my copy of the Sat Night Single told me that she bought both in a package(and than she gave me the orange "wedding Day" for free which I still think was kind of cool)
