Jimmy Eat World - "Coffee & Cigarettes"

[lockebox]

Second single from "Invented". I personally would have gone for "Evidence". Goes for adds November 23rd.

[American Idiot]

Yes! Probably my first choice for a single. I agree that "Evidence" needs to be one as well, which I hope is third since I doubt they'll go four deep.

[WotUNeed]

I think I'd have gone for "Evidence" as well, but this is a good choice. Should do well.

I want "Movielike". :(

That's not a bad choice either. I'd say more than half of the album could be good contenders for singles that would do very well.

[Shadows in the Dark]

This isn't a bad choice. Should do reasonably well.

[Ace]

I knew this would be the second single. Not my favorite track.

Ditto. That's been my favorite song for the past 3 weeks or so. This is a perfectly fine choice, but I'd also prefer "Higher Devotion" over this.

[jvandyck87]

Yeah, I felt like I was the odd man out when no one had mentioned "Higher Devotion" so I just didn't say anything, but that's probably my favorite song from my first listen through the album.

Top 50 on Alternative:

[Nicholas2.0]

Maybe it's because I already know the song so well and it's been in my own Top 10 for the past 6 weeks, but it feels like it took this song much longer to hit the Top 50 than it actually did.

Same here. I swear I've been hearing this for the past few months and I just subliminally assumed that it was somewhere in the top 50 already, so I was shocked to see that it only debuts now.

Top 40 - Alternative

51 40 JIMMY EAT WORLD - Coffee and Cigarettes 226 129 97 0.598

Beats "My Best Theory" for me.

[Ace]

I just find it the lyrics to be too cliche for my taste. Still, I naturally hope it succeeds so that they can release Movielike or Evidence.

[Shadows in the Dark]

Top 30 on Alternative:

43 29 JIMMY EAT WORLD Coffee And Cigarettes 311 194 117 0.803

[Ace]

Also debuts at #35 this week on Billboard Alternative.

[My Life Is A Stereo]

I love this song and it's mostly because I hear a lot of the 90's Canadian alternative rock sound behind it, like Sloan and the Killjoys, I've been so freaking busy I haven't had much time for new music lately but this would be one of my favorite newer songs, can't wait to actually hear the rest of the album if everyone says there is better.

[mcbrearty]

Its weird, because I didn't like "My Best Theory" but I did like this. Since I started liking this, I have now warmed to "My Best Theory".

[Ace]

Up to #26 on Alternative this week....definitely moving more quickly than I expected!

[Walking Contradiction]

I've had a hard time getting into any of the songs people suggested as followups to "My Best Theory", and haven't bothered with anything else from the album. But this one's starting to grow on me a little.

[Shadows in the Dark]

This seems to be stalling on Alternative...

>:( This is a weird one. It stormed in to the top 25 in a matter of weeks, before hitting a rut at #22 or so.

[Devin]

I thought it would go at least Top 20, and peak around where "Always Be" peaked.

[Shadows in the Dark]

Perhaps next single will do better? If they release another one.

I told you guys it was a bad single choice, but no, you never listen to me.

[lockebox]

^ I did say "Evidence" would have been a better choice... I hope that is next.
