Your Alternative Chart for Dec. 3

[crash46]

Linkin Park goes to 4 weeks at #1. Somebody else is going to need one last push or LP'll be there for quite a while, as the top ten has no triple-digit gainers. Blink-182 is falling, and 3 Days Grace, Switchfoot, and The RHCP are leveling out. I'd say most capable are The Offspring or Puddle Of Mudd, but I don't think they'll get there.

I can't believe how under the radar Hoobastank's song has been. It may not even make the top 10.

The bottom is finally dropping out from under P.O.D., OutKast, and The Strokes.

STP's career-ending #20 peak is eyes-wateringly sad.

Finger Eleven's singles:
Quicksand: DNC
Suffocate: Top 50 (barely)
First Time: DNC
Drag You Down: DNC
Bones & Joints: DNC
One Thing: #31 and rising

I don't understand it.

I also don't know how "Behind Blue Eyes" is leaping up the chart after all this time.

Evanescence and The Crystal Method are going to debut. Brand New is going to re-enter with their first single that's outperforming the second single. It was only like 2 months ago that you needed over 400 plays to hit the top 50 and now Seether is going to hang onto the chart by a fingernail (for the third straight week) with under 240 plays.

And there goes RCA once again waiting way tooo long to release a Dave Matthews single.

How did The Lostprophets end up with 14 pre-impact adds.

Songs I haven't heard: Godsmack "Re-align", The Darkness "I Believe In A Thing Called...". Whoa, that's it.

That Crystal Method song is actually really good. It reminds me of "Murder," sonically.

[crash46]

Was that the song with Scott Weiland that you liked so much last year?

[Matt4319]

Yes, I think it was.

Songs I have not heard:

25. Story of the Year - Until the Day I Die (I've heard it, but don't remember what it sounds like)
32. A Perfect Circle - The Outsider
36. Iggy Pop - Little Know It All (don't remember it)
42. Crystal Method - Born Too Slow
44. Godsmack - Re-Align
58. Lostprophets - Last Train Home
60. Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades
62. S.T.U.N. - Annihilation of the...
64. Ryan Adams - So Alive
77. Burden Brothers - Beautiful Night
82. Adema - Promises
86. Jack Johnson - Wasting Time (don't remember)
88. Killing Joke - Seeing Red
89. Atmosphere - Trying to Find a Balance(?)
92. Radiohead - Go to Sleep
95. Rob Zombie - Two Lane Blacktop
96. Pennywise - Yesterdays

Why are "In My Place" and "Are You In?" still current?

I don't understand it.

I don't know any of the other Finger Eleven songs to compare to, but "one thing" is simply a good song.

I'm suprised Jet hasn't been highlighted here yet.

Jet has the second strongest bullet on the chart currently (second only to lostprophet's "Last Train Home") at +246, and I think they will be the first to replace "Numb" from the top of the tally. Of course, Three Days Grace's spin gains on Active Rock may help give them longevity that may possibly last long enough to replace Linkin Park, but I see Jet outpacing them before they have the chance to go #1.

My only other major thought here is what the heck is up with Limp Bizkit? How many weeks has "Behind Blue Eyes" been on the chart already? It's getting adds on particularly every format, I don't get it.

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
