This has done better than "Odd One" on active already hasn't it? Amazing. I think this warrants a fifth and final single.

Yeah at just #5. I think this has enough steam to reach further than that.

#3 with a bullet. Awesome. Hopefully the door is still open for "In It For Life" to close the triumphant era.

I think getting to No. 3 on a forth single is absolutely amazing. If I were them, I'd go for broke.

Hopefully the door is still open for "In It For Life" to close the triumphant era. unless it peaks higher than You're Going Down, a 5th single would be out of the question Wait, what????? And how do you outpeak a #1 song? Unless you mean on alternative, but this song is already more successful than the second single which easily did well enough to merit a third. If they have a song left that they wanna make a single, they'll do it regardless of whether this peaks any higher than it already has. If they don't, they're gonna move on to the next era regardless of how this does, I would think. Either way, a 5th single would not be out of the question considering how big this has been. EDIT: Haha @ Erica, after giving you a tough time on the 3 Doors Down thready, at least we completely see eye to eye here.

You bring up good, level-headed points in that thread, I take nothing personally. Now if you were bashing the band, then yeah, I'd be annoyed. Even I know this album era's hitting a rough patch in promotion. I wanna slap Universal for the crappy job they're doing; definitely doesn't help when they do next to nothing!

Hehe I have no Idea how I spelled thread, "thready". That wasn't me trying and failing at being cool. That was me typing at a 45 degree angle while watching baseball.
And every band gets old and every era in music has its decline. Nickelback's last era showed signs of decline as well, both due to the decline of rock and due to many people realizing how insipid they are. While the label may have something to do with it, they probably also realize the return on investment won't be what they're used to with 3DD, and they're probably just hoping they can ride their previous success out as long as possible. I do believe that 3DD is the type of band that can evoke nostalgia and can have the comeback hit at any point in their career. But I think the years of them being able to send multiple juggernauts to radio off one album are probably over unless they can put out the best album of their career.

You know what the sad part is? I didn't even notice you wrote "thready."

Since when does a top 3 single not justify another one? Even if Riptide peaks at 3, thus not outpeaking You're Going Down, it's still had a great run. As long as there are still good singles left on Tripolar (In It For Life, White Balloons, and Survive are all good options depending on what audience they are targetting), put another one out.

Or a new album. That'd be nice too.

They should release "Don't Walk Away" as a fifth single here and a second single for HAC, to follow up "Maybe", which peaked at #9.

I just can't believe they're doing so well this time around. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Don't look now, but this could go #1 in a few weeks if "Country Song" starts bleeding spins and "Lies of the Beautiful People" stay below it.

This seems like as good a place as any to ask this question: is there an Australian rock chart anywhere in existence? The Aussies seem to know how to rock and I'd like to check out more bands from those shores, but I can't seem to find a rock chart anywhere.

Triple J radio is their alternative/active rock station combined. And they have a famous annual top 100 countdown each year called the hottest 100 that listeners can vote on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_JAustralia is a big country, so hence the nationally networked part. It's kinda mehh that the entire country gets the same rock station, which means if you're a band who they don't like, you're kinda screwed. Luckily, they seem to have pretty good taste in music. Muse, Kings Of Leon, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, and Mike Patton (among others) received airplay when I was listening online once out of curiosity.

Wow. I guess that explains why there's no chart. Thanks for the info.

it's likely that this will be the last single, unless they start pondering about a fifth single

Aw, don't be too harsh on the guy, even if the statement was blatantly obvious. Still made me lol though. These guys are due for another album, so this'll probably be it.

I think they could score another top 20 on Active with "In It for Life" or "So What I Lied."

Yah, I doubt they'll try the "Don't Walk Away" crossover attempt now so "In It For Life" sounds like an excellent choice.

If they do release a 5th, I hope it's "In It for Life".

It's been an excellent era. If they want to make it perfect, release In It For Life. Though it'd be criminal to not make In It For A Life (it is the album's best song), I'd be content with a new album at this point too.
