3rd (single)
Encyclopedia
"3rd" is a song released as both a single
and an EP
by the Finnish
rock
band The Rasmus
(then known as just "Rasmus"), released in 1996 by the record label Warner Music Finland
.
"3rd" is just the name of the single; there is no song with that title, like 1st and 2nd. Therefore it is hard to know whether 3rd should be classified as an EP or a regular single. EPs usually have more than two songs on them, but on the other hand "3rd" is no title of any songs by the band.
It was the last single to be released from the album Peep
and features the tracks "Ghostbusters
" and "Fool". Both of these tracks are taken from the album Peep. It went #8 on the Finnish Singles Chart later that year.
