It doesn't look like My Chemical Romance is quite as big of a deal this time around. Their chart performance on alternative and active with their lead single this era compared to the previous era remind me of AFI. Very good comparision, actually. This will probably peak similarly to "Medicate" aswell. Just thought I'd throw it in I Want You To as well. Maybe it'll gain more spins and hit Top 40.

"I Want You To" almost hit #1 on Alt, so I don't see how that's comparable to this or "Medicate". If you're talking about Active, then AFI, MCR & Weezer have never really been relevant on the format. "I Want You To", "Medicate" missed the top 40, anyway, as will "Nanana".

"I Want You To" and "Medicate" were close though. I think #41 and #43, respectively.

^ More of a bonus that they charted on Active, though, as it's not really their target format. None of the mentioned bands have ever really had a "hit" there, apart from AFI having a one-off moment with an amazing song.

I'm sure a lot of people did. Although, that album somehow hasn't gone platinum yet ???

They really ought to make 500,00 the new platinum and 250,000 the new gold. Even then, artists wouldn't go platinum/gold at the rate that they did 15 years ago...maybe 250,000 and 125,000? That seems low to me, but it also seems like the equivalent from now to 15 years ago.

I've been saying this for the last two years, but I've yet to say it to anyone who can do anything about it.

How the heck is this down to a -83 bullet already? Are they planning on releasing a new single or something?

I'm sure the feedback to the radio stations has been less than stellar. And that video. Is that for real? One of the dumbest videos that I've seen for awhile.

Why? Because it doesn't agree with yours. LOL! The song simply isn't very good but if you like it, great.

How about humbly stating that you don't like the song and leaving it at that instead of coming in here basically saying "Oh, well it's really really horrible. But I guess if you like horrible music good for you." That is YOUR opinion, don't come in here preaching it as fact.

To be fair, he (I'm assuming male; sorry if incorrect) did state his opinion, but was then told it was a "terrible opinion," so, while I'm not a huge fan of the tone of the response, it was in line with the post that prompted it. Oh, and my opinion is that this song blows.

Yeah I'll have to agree; the rules change when someone factually states that your opinion is terrible. But I think Pen was being tongue in cheek when he said that.
Either way, the fact that "Na Na Na" is getting these mixed reviews is a pretty good indicator of why it's not having the success one might expect of a MCR lead single.

#18 to 33?! OK, why the fuck are this song's wings burning this badly? This is a worse fate than "The Catalyst" got. I need that "brooding, flaming anger" emoticon again, but it's been so long since I needed it, I forgot where I had to fetch it from.

Well in fairness, when's the last time you saw a follow-up single fly up the chart as fast as "Sing". Obviously those spins "Na Na Na" lost are going somewhere.

Yeah, but the new Cage is a lead single, which doesn't change my point.

I listened to the new album earlier this morning for the first time. I'm quite impressed and like how MCR's trying to experiment a bit with some different sounds. I don't remember which songs stood out to me, but I didn't hear anything that I didn't like. "The Black Parade" had a bit more "distinction" I guess you could call it, but then again "Danger Days" just may have to grow on me.

Duly noted, but I'm still trying to figure out what's so great about "Sing" that it should be stealing away most of the "Na Na Na" spins already. I had to hear it between 5-10 times before I could actually remember how it went. A couple listens to the album and nothing really stands out to me, overall. And another thing: I really wish the album version of "Na Na Na" didn't have the DJ intro bleeding into it. I'd strongly prefer to hear the song the way it starts on the radio.

I haven't heard how it is on the radio so I can't do a comparison, but I personally like the bleed in. It works. I can't put it any other way.

I had to hear it between 5-10 times before I could actually remember how it went. I think all in all it just feels like a teaser single. Kind of like "Guarded" for Disturbed. It flew up, flew back down, and "Stricken" chased right after it.
