I don't see why this song isn't slaying the Alt charts? Nothing Foky nor indie Pop about it. Just 100% Alternative. I see alot of hate on that video, but that's no reason to shoot down a song. This is probobly bound to be my favourite traditional Alt song of the year, unless RHCPs pull a new song out of a hat.
KROQ has been stung by the Folk bug. "Stolen Dance" is still #1 with incubus below top 25. 91x is way better for my style, but still no "Absolution Calling"?

I don't see why this song isn't slaying the Alt charts? Because your opinion and fact are two very different things. About time you catch on to that.

Man, I prefer KROQ, The Buzz and 101WKQX (check out their playlist wkqx.tunegenie.com/onair/), 91x is way too boring, but I agree this should be getting more airplay, it's Incubus for God's sake! :(

Seriously man, what does that have to do with anything I wrote? What is that fact you you are trying to force me to catch on to? That I have to accept everything that happens without speaking my mind? Yeah, Its an opinion. I happen to like that song and I'm expressing that. is there some rule being broken there?

I rarely agree with Dr. Indie's points, but in this case, I agree with this. Best case scenario IMO is that this pulls a Bush

A+ "Pardon Me", "Stellar", "Drive", "Wish You Were Here", "Dig" A "New Skin", "Anna-Molly", "Make a Move", "Love Hurts" A- "Are You In?", "Megalomaniac", "Agoraphobia", "Oil and Water", "Black Heart Inertia", "Adolescents" B+ "Nice to Know You", "Warning", "Circles", "Talk Shows on Mute", "Promises, Promises"
Curiously "Summer Romance" apparently was never a single, still hear it like every other week on my station's all-'80s/'90s/'00s program

Even though this is still stuck at #21, ( > ), I hope it can maintain its bullet and see at least a small spin increase each day until Sunday, when 4 songs ("Cigarette Daydreams", "Rollercoaster", "I Bet My Life", and "Cecilia and the Satellite") are set to go recurrent, pushing this comfortably into the Top 20.

A+ goes to "Talk Show On Mute", "Wish You Were Here", "Love Hurts" and Maybe I wanted some traditional sounding Alternative music back on the charts more than I thought I did, but now the latest addition to the A= list is "Absolution Calling". This song could easily have been an instrumental with just that guitar work alone.

Recovering a bit on Alt, where it's bullet has now increased to 70, bigger than its bullet on Active now.

The struggle is real for this, but I still enjoy it. Hope it catches on soon.

Apparently the EP has been delayed to May 12, due to band members being "dissatisfied" with the songs.
I'm not sure how much more work can be done to a 4-song EP, but pushing the release date back by 7 weeks is kinda overkill IMO. Unless they're planning on adding more songs.

Maybe they will remix the songs and give them some Milky Chance ;Foktronika sound and hope they will preform better on what used to be an Alternative Rock chart? but, seriously... that would be sad.

If it hadn't been for the weekly airplay updates, and for this topic in this forum, I'd literally have no idea Incubus had a new single out right now. But, I've already heard "Pardon Me" twice today. F a bunch of that.

Things are not going well for this song. Lost its bullet again on Alternative, and a weak bullet of 33 on Active. It will probably get to the top 10 on the latter, with Marilyn Manson, All That Remains, AC/DC, Three Days Grace (I Am Machine) and Papa Roach on their way out. The problem is that Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace (Human Race) will eventually overtake it soon.

I think it has a chance if the five aforementioned songs fall quick enough. It's bound to pass ATR and Manson next week, and then "I Am Machine" will likely plummet, putting Absolution in the Top 10. Wishful thinking.

@ Bangwave
You've been missing out on a great band way too long. Granted only a few crossed over to HOT AC and Pop, but never the less Brandon truly has one of the best vocals For Alt Rock.

Shame this crashed hard, it didn't even get to match the peak for "Promises, Promises", it's their worst performing single to date. :(
I'm worried they're not doing as great as I would have expected on Active, bands like Seether, Shinedown, LP, 3DG, Chevelle, etc have found a safe haven on AR after 2012, hope at least it manages to enter top 10.

the important thing is to not be phased on ur opinion of the song no matter what the sometimes; cluless ,Alt audience and/or charts have to say. If you like the song; screw them.
