Any potential buyers or interested fans should know that the tracklist for this item, the information provided by amazon, is incorrect. This single does not, repeat: does NOT, have 15 tracks. The correct tracklisting is provided by the seller of a used "new" copy. In fact, it is: 1. Sound of the Underground, 2. Stay Another Day, 3. Sound of the Underground (Remix). If you need further proof, look up Girls Aloud on wikipedia, and the page will provide information concerning the tracks on the single for Sound of the Underground Pt. 2.
