" was released. A fourth single was still expected, but no word was given until February 2010, when the IIHF announced that "Stuck on Replay" would be the official song of the 2010 IIHF World Championship, giving a one minute sample along with the press release that sounded different from the album version.

Several days later, it was confirmed that the song would be receiving a 2-track and a Maxi release, unlike its predecessor, "The Sound Above My Hair".

Chart performance

After the first week of release it entered the German charts at number 34, which was disappointing to many fans as they expected it to enter higher due to the single being released during the tour. It is however expected to climb once the world ice hockey championships start (May 7), as it is the official song of that tournament. The single also entered the Austrian charts at number 58 after the first week of release. Stuck on Replay rose up to position 58 several weeks later, possibly due to the IIHF Championships happening.
