Sounds like a pop song. Nothing like "Bones" did.

Can this go #1 again? Probably not, but I root for them.

This sounds like it belongs on Our Lady Peace's Burn Burn.

That's pretty good, a little bit on the softer side but still effective. "Bones" became one of my favorite rock songs, it was so good. I hope these guys can have some more success.

Yeah...I like this one a lot. I don't see a #1 with this, but I do think it will do well.
Loved the "Bones" album (the title track and "You Are Not (Lonely)" especially).

I love the 80s influence on this. This deserves to do something on Alt, too bad it won't. It sounds like something AFI would do.

This is pretty good. If it does well enough on active I can see this getting to the #30ish point on alternative.
Hope it gets to #1 on Active, this is exactly what the format should be playing to try to get relevant again.

This really does sound like AFI. Actually more like "Stiff Kittens" from Blaqk Audio. Pretty damn good tune and doesn't sound anything like I've heard from them before.

Another really likable song from these guys. I hope it does well, but I fear that it won't.

What a difference a good recording can make wonders for a song. This sounds more appealing with each day. It's just a tad more melodic than "Bones", but the sounds works for them and for me. I hope it does well on Rock charts.

Top 50 on Active: 58 48 YOUNG GUNS I Want Out 90 74 16 0.135 About time. That's a weak-ass bullet. This song deserves much better. What happened to the days when Wind-Up could push song top 10 no problem? Even with "Bones", it was a struggle. I feel like that song finally reached #1 on the merits of being so damn likable that the label had to pull out all the stops to make sure justice prevailed. But man if this song were on Eleven Seven or Razor & Tie, it'd be on the verge of going top 20. |

Idk, I think once September 16 comes around, it could start exploding, since that's when it goes for adds. I think it's pretty impressive they've made it into the Top 50 without going for adds yet. |

Songs chart before adds dates all the time. But that is a relief to hear. Still this song has been out long enough that I think it should have done more damage by now considering it's a lead single from a band who hit #1 on their last album. Do I think this will go top 30? Yes. But if it were to be another top 10 for them as it deserves, I think its start out of the gate does not indicate that it's likely, which is disappointing. I hope that I'm wrong.

I know its adds date is still a week and a half away, but it's bullet is now -13. I'm telling you, this song is in grave danger of flopping unless Wind-Up gives this the major push that it deserves. |

Hmm, 6 Active adds this week. I can't say for sure if that's good enough to get it started or too little.
I just can't help but think that this sounds more like something Alternative would play rather than Active.

I'm thinking these guys are gonna pull a Cavo(remember them?) and get relegated to a one-hit wonder.

I'm still thinking (and hoping) this picks up adds in the weeks to come, now that the official add date is here. Such a quality song.
For the record, Cavo are reportedly working on a new cd. ;)

Cavo aren't that bad, and I thought "Thick As Thieves" underperformed. "Champagne" is just such a lyrical disaster that it gives them a bad name.

I like Cavo, but I just don't think they have enough of a distinct variety in sound to put them ahead of their competition. Young Guns completely surprised me with this song as it sounded so much better and different than anything else I've heard from them.

This sounds great, but also Alternativey to me. Is this planned to get adds on Alternative at all? It'd be a very welcome addition.

I get the sense that it's gonna be alternative's fault if this flops on active, LOL.
