Tom Petty released a song he never liked. Radio stations couldn't stop playing it

Tom Petty lanzó “Out in the Cold” a pesar de sentirse poco convencido con la elección. The text says Petty had a strong track record, but by the 1990s he was still a rock titan and wanted his solo work to continue in the album Into the Great Wide Open, after solo debut Full Moon Fever. With Jeff Lynne and guitarist Mike Campbell, Petty and the Heartbreakers produced a set that included major hits such as “Learning to Fly,” though the label pushed for a faster single than Petty’s recent ballads. The label selected “Out in the Cold.” Petty later said he was always annoyed because radio in Los Angeles overplayed that song and “Making Some Noise,” which he viewed as weaker tracks, despite ongoing Spotify streaming of over 2.5 million.
