Considering how well it's already doing on Hot AC, I think this has a good chance crossing over successfully to CHR.
Better than some of the other dreadful songs off their album like "Bad Girlfriend" and "Hate My Life".

It's about time! This is doing well at the HAC format. Then they have to release "By The Way" next.

This was on heavy rotation some months ago on my country's biggest international station. The 1st time I heard it I thought it was Nickelback and I was pissed when I ended up not finding it in their new album. The 2nd time I wrote down the lyrics and googled them.

The whole sounding like Nickelback thing is a bit stupid. They sound similar in some aspects but ,my god they arent really alike atall.
But this song is good. Better on the album though like "Heaven", thats an awesome song.

Was wondering when this was ever gonna go for CHR adds. It managed to explode on HAC and now on digital, without ever having an official release, so that's already a great sign. Between this, Second Chance, and If Today Was Your Last Day, I think CHR is in store for some real rock smashes over the next few months.

Dunno clips I heard sound a little dull IMO (and kinda like songs that've already been put out before)...haven't heard the whole thing, but seems kinda more HAC than CHR I think

One of my stations has been playing this for awhile already. It's ok, I'd like "By the Way" though instead, or perhaps even a pop-release for "So Happy."

Bad Girlfriend I think peaked at #46 or #47 I could see Bad Girlfriend being re-released if this ends up being successful.

I'd def. love that, but thinkin Bad Girlfriend had bad callout with females (in general), makin it big on Rock Formats but too polarizing on CHR For some reason this track (NMTB) doesn't really do anything for me...but wanna see TOAD doo well on CHR so still hopin it does...

I like this song a lot. 'Bad Girlfriend' was not Pop material, IMO, so I'm glad it didn't cross over.

I, for one, am surprised that they haven't exploited the Kara Dioguardi connection on American Idol.

By The Way is their next single on Rock. I wouldn't be surprised if they release it here too after this especially since Daughtry would be back also at the Top 40/HAC charts soon.

In fact, SIYM (Nickelback) was planned on being the next pop single, but once BG started falling and NMTB climbed, they switched to ITWYLD. HML might have pop potential as well.

Wait...just wonderin about the connection cause pretty sure that Something In Your Mouth thing was a misprint (ITWYLD had already been listed as goin for adds at Hot AC, and can't imagine Nickelback sending different songs to HAC/CHR simultaneously) Also just can't imagine anyone thinkin SIYM would do well with females on CHR (except the ones that liked the opening line of Figured You Out ) Bad Girlfriend I think is still in power rotation at WIXX/Green Bay, but someone said they have more % male listeners than any other CHR in the U. S. (cause they learn Alt.)

^Their label kinda messed this up cause Bad Girlfriend has got a similar bullet (think it's somewhere around #56 or so)...cause CHRs aren't gonna play both tracks at once, this is gonna hurt both songs - maybe even prevent both from hittin Top 40
IMO it's gotta be a mistake to send one track to CHR and another to Hot AC cause they copy each other too much...

As long as Nickelback remains viable, Theory Of A Deadman is bound to continue breaking through to mainstream. I won't be surprised if we see a crossover release of "Hate My Life" in-between this and "By The Way". Obviously it would need to be edited a lot, but if "Rockstar" got away with being a massive hit despite the edits (perhaps "Screw" instead of the F word in the third verse for one), there's reason to believe "Hate My Life", as appallingly awful a song it is, can potentially hit too given how concise it is, has direct lyrics and has a streamlined, upbeat mid-tempo progression that never slows down. At this point they've released so much bad material this era alone that feels novelty-songesque in nature that they can only top themselves by releasing "Little Smirk" to Active Rock! Sincerely, Noah Eaton

"Hate My Life" got alot of airplay over in the UK recently. It did'nt chart very well but before its release it was getting alot of attention. The radio stations simply bleeped out all the swear words.

I'm hoping the success of this would pave the way for "By The Way"s success.
