Break it up people! When are you gonna wake up and stop drowning each others happiness! It's seriously overrated and I know none of you were born like this. I have high expectations for this song so can we just operate calmly instead of arguing over and over? Seriously, just let it die. dafuq

Is there a reason this is climbing iTunes really rapidly (for a Rock song) right now? It just blasted to #1 on Rock from maybe #7 and climbed 100 positions on the overall chart in just a day (453-333).

I'd love to see this, Royal Blood or Seether follow 5FDP into the #1 slot. Judging by this morning's snapshot of the charts..it's looking more and more likely that it will be this track.

I really hope Royal Blood doesn't get snubbed from the top spot AGAIN. They really deserve this one, even though I enjoy "I Am Machine" and want TDG's current streak to continue(since this song is a lot better than Painkiller)

I also want this to wait until 2015 to hit #1 and keep their consecutive years with a #1 streak alive, so I'll take Royal Blood or (preferably) Seether first.

Kind of interesting: this is being promoted on the front page of iTunes as a 'hot track'. That is really rare for a rock song. Crossover?

I thought he was talking about the album, when he mentioned Billboard. I actually have no idea when their album comes out.
But hell yeah, a reference to Hurt! Yeah, I can see how the intro sounds kind of like that.

I couldn't care less about how this is doing on alternative, but cool that they made. BB I guess. Unfortunately, and much more importantly, it looks like this is done on active :(

Noticed this was in question at the start of this thread: Both this and "Painkiller" will be included on the album that is due out in March.

I think there was a panel change, because Alt went through the same thing last week. It still has a shot. It's probably due to the Holiday Freeze. Due to DJs and MDs going on holiday break, songs will stay at a stand-still or drop a little over the next week and a half or so. So I wouldn't worry about anything that's currently happening to songs that high up the chart yet.

Up to #39 on Alternative and steadily gaining. I'm very pleasantly surprised that this has far outpeaked the measly #49 peak of "Painkiller". Perhaps it's a sign that Three Days Grace will scrape back some airplay on Alternative, even with a new singer. :)

I somehow don't think the band nor the label could care any less about alternative airplay anymore lol. I doubt there are any core alternative listeners today who will hear this song and be like "oh man, I gotta get me that new TDG record."
But I do wish this one the best on the format, despite probably being my second least favourite TDG single ever (only "Riot" is below this). They do however have more #1s on my personal chart than any other band, with 11.

I think this song, more than any other released as the 'new' 3DG, just reeks of "Porn Star Dancing", a song which I hated more than any rock tune of recent memory. I also don't understand what's making this act continue to still hit the Alternative chart, even with nowhere near the impact they had in Alternative's dead-zone era. I mean, 89X is gonna have their back for sure, but who else??? Still, I'm kind of pulling for it as the underdog. Not to actually make any meaningful impact, but to maybe reach like #36 or something? That'd be alright.

That'd be alright. Yeah this song is straight-up garbage to me, which is a shame because even as someone who never got this band at all at the height of their mid-2000s domination I thought their last album had a bunch of likeable singles and I was actually coming around to them a bit. Maybe if they'd bothered to write lyrics which didn't consist of every possible cliche you could imagine by looking at the title alone (and written a better hook, at that) I would like it more, but alas not. As someone who kinda roots for these fluke active-to-alternative mini-crossovers that have been happening as of late I'll show some solace for this (I'd be alright with a peak somewhere around the lower reaches of the top 40) but honestly I think I'll root for the Seether track climbing up concurrently to this (and is in the top 40 mainly because of, unsurprisingly, 89X) instead.

The biggest problem I have with this are the lyrics. Good god are they cliched. Then again, haven't they always used them ("I Hate Everything About You", "Riot", "Pain" for some to note).
