Manics picking singles from early album tracks

[everlasting]

I was just thinking the other day, most Manics singles are on the first half of their albums, mostly in the first 3/4 tracks on a lot of them (I know there's a few like Faster that is track 9 I think on the Holy Bible and Autumnsong is track 7 on SATT).
Also I was wondering, you notice how on their last few appearances on Jools Holland they've played tracks from the opening few songs on that particular years album release and most of those songs have gone on to be singles? Wonder if that means that indeed Postcards and SKON will be the next two singles from this album? Just a thought.
