My last post of the night. Now here is a song that deserves its climb to the top 10 on ALT. Hopefully opening the door to some more Struts music on the chart.

It's still pretty much even between the two charts. I wonder what will happen first. Will Active give up on it, leaving it to go pretty high on alternative, or will it get stuck in the upper teens of alternative and fly to the top of the active chart?

I believe; as Daryl has stated, the song is a tad better suited for Alternative. Not that It won't go top 10 on Active. Might be a slow burner? I just think it will peak higher on Alt.

I thought I was really going to like this at first, until he started up with the Nate from Fun-style vocals, which I just can't stomach - it sure is interesting, though, so I hope it does well

I listen to both Alt and Active Rock stations 91x and Rock 105, Home of S.D. Chargers, so I'm just happy this song is top 20 on both formatts. BTW, it's now #13 on Alt, so the race is still on.

This sounds like Twisted Sister trying to sound relevant. Surprised it's gotten top 20 on alt.

This isn't a bad song. It definitely belongs on Alt though.

Passes Florence! Top 10 on Alternative: 14 10 THE STRUTS Could Have Been Me 1249 990 259 4.182 Oddly enough, Ship to Wreck and Could Have Been Me both have exactly 1249. How are ties broken? Could have Been Me has a higher audience; does that determine which is #10?

Very good callout scores so far, second highest net positive and second lowest burn rate (both only behind Ship To Wreck)

All we need is Active jumping on this and we could have a legitimate 3-way Rock hit. Heck, let's get Triple A in on the action too.

Hell, It woulda gone top 10 on Top 40 chart by now. Probobly right behind Queen "Body Language" Now a days; let's just be glad we have it on a couple of the charts still featuring great music.

i'm just not into this...but i'll force myself to give it another listen
EDIT: the song is ok until the chorus & then i hate it...but that's probably what makes it popular...i can see this getting onto the HotAC charts at some point...maybe i'll eventually give in and put this on my personal charts but i'm holding off a bit longer

RTM.com has Beck at #1 for callout, Different Colors at #2, and Ship To Wreck at #3, with Could Have Been Me way back at #11
Not that RTM.com is the most accurate or anything - I was just wondering where you're getting those numbers from

www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/call/index.aspOf course that has no Canadian charts... I swear the Alternative call out scores read better backwards.

^Thanks for the link!
This is crazy, though - look at the Mediabase Callout list vs. Rate The Music.com
RATE THE MUSIC.COM #1 Dreams #2 Different Colors #3 Ship To Wreck #4 Renegades #5 Dead Inside #6 First #7 Tear In My Heart #8 The Ground Walks... #9 Don't Wait Up #10 Ex's And Oh's #11 Could Have Been Me #12 Uma Thurman #13 Hallelujah #14 Molecules #15 Crystals
MEDIABASE #1 Renegades #2 Ship To Wreck #3 Cecelia And The Satellite #4 Ex's And Oh's #5 Believe #6 Tear In My Heart #7 Dead Inside #8 Could Have Been Me #9 Crystals #10 Hold Back The River #11 Moaning Lisa Smile

The lead singer sounds like Vince Neil during the chorus. This song is pretty good, has a slight punk rock feel to it, like The Clash.

I'm actually surprised it's seeing most of its success on Alt. This seems like the kind of song Mainstream Rock would eat up. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Especially for its Queen similiarities, that's why I would post both Active and Alt updates, but since the actual Alt top 10 are fast becoming my most hated songs on the alt chart; I'm ecstatic to see this getting the attention it has on Alt. I also remember 91x adding this the very first week it debuted on the chart and started by giving it heavy spins off the back.
