I want GOM for the second single!! It's not too heavy, Second Chance was heavier. :o Untrue. It's not far off the heaviness of "Sound of Madness". Hopefully they release "Ghost of Me" to rock in the future, possibly after "You Don't Belong", but they need to get a move on. I would like to see "What I Meant to Say" as the next single.

Can't wait to find out what the new single is now :( I'm so over this. And by the looks of it, it's peaking here now.
Would be a real shame if this fails to get top 10 on Hot 100 though :(

I want GOM for the second single!! So do I. Or WIMTS. Or even September if it must be a ballad. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be LAY.

This is dead already. It doesn't matter if it rises a few more spots (doubt it will), NS is not selling the album nor the single anymore. It has peaked already. RCA, just get it over with and release a friggin' single already! *sigh* I guess they want to wait when the album starts selling less than 10K every week before they release a new single. :o I won't count on them releasing anything to Rock radio. Apparently, RCA has no plans.

^I fear it may be too late for them to have a shot at rock, even if RCA does release something. It;'s been far too long since What I Want was a hit there, and because of his association with AI they needed to work extra hard to keep him relevant at rock. Of course they didn't and now I don't know that rock radio will be open to playing anything of his anymore.

They haven't had a hit rock single since 2007 and the fact that they release a new album and didn't release a Rock lead single is a statement to rock radio that this is not their priority. Stupid label. Daughtry is the only Idol to have legitimate Rock hits and they blew it big time. And it's not like they don't have singles to release there. I mean, if WIW can go Top 10, TABA can certainly do that too. And for album #2, they can go with YDB or GoM. IMO rock radio support is integral if they want to have a long career in this business.

They need to rush "Life After You." This is SO old, SO OLD. SO sick of it.

This exceeded my expectations, I was hoping for a 13 peak. I've been pleasantly surprised.
Now I want GOM, September, Open Up Your Eyes, or Everytime You Turn Around.
OUYE if released shoudn't go to CHR though, HAC smash though.

Is it just me, or does it seem like this song has been out for like a year?

Have you ever considered that rock radio may have let the label know that they probably won't support any of his songs (even the rockier ones). My point is that we don't know why songs aren't released to rock. Why waste money to promote a song on a format that isn't going to support the artist. The label (and maybe Chris) may be putting their money where it will have the biggest impact (i.e., pop airplay). Just throwing out another possibility.

^Rock was supporting Chris. But RCA blew it after What I Want, when they released Crashed instead of TABA. Now it's been so long since WIW was a hit, they would have to re-establish themselves on the format, which given his associations, would be very, very hard. In fact, I think TABA is the only song the band's ever done that would have a shot at re-establishing them on rock. But that's from the first album, so I can't see how it would be released.

Even Crashed garnered enough airplay to get it to chart so Rock radio definitely opened their doors for them. Not to mention the Top 5 hit (INO) and Top 10 (WIW, #6) under their belt. But of course the label has to ruin it by ignoring TABA and not releasing anything from this era. Whatever happened to strike while the iron is hot?! it's a shame really.

This actually underperformed in my opinion. Since it was the new Daughtry single, I expected it to go top 5, possibly #1. Obviously a #9 position is weak for an established band like Daughtry. Especially since it was their first single off the new album. Overall, it didn't flop, but it sure as hell underperformed.

^Ya - they better release the 2nd single ASAP!!! Their album is dropping real fast down the Itune Album Charts (both main and rock) - NS has outlived its buzz a long time ago...
Just wondering - in general -about the physical and digital ratio for Daughtry's album sales (both for the 1st and 2nd) ?
Praying real hard that there is some leak around the corner - they need some hype now... I am hopping for either GOM or WIMTS as the 2nd single...

Especially since it was their first single off the new album. Overall, it didn't flop, but it sure as hell underperformed. I think it underperformed a bit, but when you look at what Nickelback has been doing this era on CHR, and considering Daughtry is the same type of pop rock as them, it's not all that surprising when you think about it. Pop seems to be looking to other kinds of rock songs this year for the big rock crossovers, like Second Chance and Use Somebody, neither of which really sound like something Daughtry or Nickelback would do.

Maybe the Daughtry-Nickleback sound is growing a little stale. I do think they sound an awful lot alike but I'm sure that's not the majority opinion in this thread. Regardless, both acts are continuing to sell albums very, very well and Nickleback is packing them in on tour. I will be interested to see how Daughtry does on their first headlining (arena) tour. I don't expect anywhere near Nickleback numbers because you get those numbers after a lot of touring unless you are a kiddy act (Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, etc.), but I would expect an average audience of around 5-6,000. Aren't they playing smaller arenas? I looked at his tour schedule once but that's been a while back. I did sell the pollstar numbers for one of Chris' club tour dates and it wasn't listed as a sellout. Maybe about 100-200 shy in an 1800 place?

I think "Second Chance" was very Nickelback-like. If "Use Somebody" was sang by Daughtry first, it would'nt look out of place IMO.

I can totally see them singing Second Chance. It's made of the same stuff Daughtry and Nickelback use for their music. Use Somebody is a different indeed.
I think No Surprise did better than what I expected from this song, but that's cause I really think it's not a good song and it doesn't have much of a meaning. I believe there's much better in the album. And even though it cracked top 10, the album is not selling like the first one did. I don't mean just not bringing the same numbers, cause we're in a different year and it wasn't released in November, like last time. But its BB200 position shows the difference between the two albums, and I think the single has a lot to do with it. It never sold a lot of itself, and even though it sells the album, it's not like other Daughtry singles did.
