I knew this would be the next single, and I hope either "End Transmission" or "Too Shy To Scream" is the third.

I think people are too down on "Medicate". I thought it was a great first single, quick, easy, and to the point. Kind of like "Miss Murder" and "Girl's Not Grey" were for their respective albums.

Almost any song on the album I think could do well as a single, but this is definitely one of the ones I would have chosen for sure. I see it having a good chance of going Top 10.

I see this doing comparable to how "The Leaving Song Pt. II" did to "Girl's Not Grey." I figured the second single would be either this or "Darling, I Want to Destroy You" per the sticker on the album's shrink wrap. Glad they didn't choose "Darling" because I don't see that doing too well as a single, especially after the relatively fast peak of "Medicate." Not sure what would unquestionably do as well or better than "Medicate," but they can't go too wrong with most of the songs on the album.
Torch Song, End Transmission, Too Shy to Scream, Veronica Sawyer Smokes, and Sacrilege would all make as good a choice as anything.

I'm starting to get more into this than I did to Medicate.

I'm really hoping this song doesn't stall out, deserves to go at least Top 20.

While this song isn't bad or even mediocre it's never been one of my favorites on the album. I much prefer the two tracks that surround it.

Neat video. This now has a decent bullet on Alt. once again too :) Yeah, I kept forgetting to watch the video. Thanks for embedding it. :) Pretty cool. Don't get it based on one viewing, but I really liked it. (Looks like it cost way too much, though. ) Noticing my Alt station has it in medium rotation now, I've been frustrated the past couple of weeks seeing its bullet so small and the song bouncing back and forth between 26 & 27 nationwide. Good to know it's picking up steam. I know The Used's "Blood on My Hands" (which my station was a big supporter of) didn't go nearly as high as "Medicate," but it just saddens me that "Born to Quit" bombed, since both these equally great second singles came out at the same time and my station supported both of them early on. (Though only "Beautiful Thieves" has prevailed, obviously.) |

This now has a decent bullet on Alt. once again too. I was going to call you out on this last weekend, but I'll do it this weekend instead, since it's only +11 now and still stuck at #26, where it was last week, with a mere +19 bullet. Wake me up when it's in the Top 20. |

Anyone still believe this can make Top 20?

Looks like you jinxed it, then. ;) Even though I don't follow Billboard, that's great that there's a positive 3-spot difference between the charts. Anyone still believe this can make Top 20? At this point, I'll be pleasantly surprised. |
