51 50 NICKELBACK Rockstar 2005 Roadrunner/Lava/Atlantic 132 135 -3 1.124
With "If Everyone Cared" at #1, this song was removed from recurrent in recent weeks. A lower-case "r" was placed in the "LW" coloumn on mediabase. Did anyone notice that? Or have seen it before?
Just a few days ago, this was about -150 in plays, and now it's just -3. Within the next few days, it will probably have a bullet again!! This song charted earlier this year and I believe it peaked at #34. I guess this #1 rock hit from last summer will re-chart on Hot AC this summer. I know it's not exactly Hot AC-friendly, but following 4 straight #1s, this could still do a dent.
What do you guys think?

This song was removed prematurely to recurrent status, if you only count its weeks in the top 40. Perhaps Mediabase thought the song was done and removed it. However, either the fact that the song was gaining in spins or the record company told them to make it current caused the song to rechart.
It may return to the top 40, but I don't think it will make it into the top 20.

They can't end this era without "Someone That You're With". That's a perfect piece of pop music right there.

^ I agree. But didn't they confirm "Side of a Bullet" was the FINAL single?
I don't know, but I think this will peak around #16 or so on this format. Just because it's following four straight #1s. Plus, I want this to do good. It's my favorite Nickelback song, and one of my top 5 favorite songs of all-time.

In the print edition of RR this week, there was an advertisment for Rockstar so it looks like it will be the next single.

Has that ever happened before? I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I know songs have been removed to recurrent and have never charted in the top 40. It's just up to Mediabase when to purge I guess. |

Mix 96.9 here in Phoenix has been spinning the hell out of "Rockstar". "If Everyone Cared" isn't even getting any airtime on Mix, despite the fact that it's #1 on the Hot AC chart. Not sure if the station is trying to set a "recurrent" trend in hopes of getting "Rockstar" back on the main chart, but it isn't working so far.
"Rockstar" is still one of my favorites from All the Right Reasons; but "Photograph", "Savin' Me", and "Cared" ranked higher on my personal chart.

Since the song is about the celeb lifestyle, it's probably heavily played in Phoenix because of our location - not far from Hollywood or Vegas; and a fair share of well-known, oddball celebs who call Phoenix home as well. Just a crazy thought.  |

It's top 50!! 51 49 NICKELBACK Rockstar 2005 Roadrunner/Lava/Atlantic 142 137 5 1.094 This should leapfrog Buble soon and pick up the pace. The only funny thing is "If Everyone Cared" has a bullet twice as big today (+10).  |

The correct answer is "too many." Seems like these guys are slated to release a new record later this year or early 2008...fingers crossed on listener burnout. For those of you who haven't seen, www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com has a nice little bit on the band ;) |

Ugghhh, I don't understand why they're pushing this dreadful track again when it already has enjoyed a decent peak of #54 on the Billboard Hot 100. (#54 doesn't sound high out loud, but considering it only got marginal airplay outside of Active Rock on all formats, that's actually an impressive peak for a track short on airplay)
If the band wants to milk the album for all it's worth, the logical strategy is releasing "Someone That You're With" as the new single. It is louder and faster-paced than all their other Top 40 single releases from this album, so it can appeal to some degree to the fans of their edgier material, while it is also melodic, like Switchfoot's catalog, and thus can appeal to Top 40 as well.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

I don't understand what is up with this song and why so many people like it! I wish they would've gone with "Someone That You're With." Actually, I wish they would've just put an end to the album. "Photograph" was released almost 22 months ago.

I've taken a break from blasting this song so I don't burn out on it again. It was my summer jam frome last year, and I want it to be even more this summer!! |

The lyrics contain 1 blunder.
In 1 part of the song, Chad sings "I'll sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free"; but in the chorus, he sings "We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat".
That's what I call a contradiction!

I think Hot AC and Top 40 radio stations are playing this song so they have a follow-up to "If Everyone Cared" - it's not bad, but I don't think it would've become a hit if it had been released off its own CD
