Miles ahead of the last one, but this single choice sucks. Top 20 would surprise me.

This could perform similar to "Without You", since this is going for HAC adds March 21.

^ Sounds about right. This is seriously the worst possible choice. They ignored "Red Tail Lights" for this? They're starting to become irrelevant.

I understand the Adult and CHR adds, but I'm still surprised they didn't save the slow-burner for single three at rock radio.

^ Because they're doing the exact same thing as every album by them. First single: A rocker Second single: A ballad-esque song to become crossover that'll flop (only worked for "Lips Of an Angel") Third single: Another rocker that'll do ok, but not overall good. Fourth single: Possibly another rocker or ballad, either way it'll flop.
It'll probably only get worse with each album if they don't learn from their mistakes.

Tbh, I thought they were gonna go with "Striptease" to attempt to reestablish themselves on rock. They're facing an uphill battle from now on.

I was assuming Striptease was a good move too.

Actually, that reached the upper part of the chart much faster than I would've guessed. Maybe there's a market for a ballad this early into the album.

Wow, OK then. Maybe radio isn't done with them yet.

I don't think that bullet means much. Radio isn't done with them, but that bullet seems like something along the lines of what "Up All Night" got in this stage of the game. I think the moderate success of their last album will become the status quo for them over the next five years, but I don't think they will sink far below that.

Maybe not, but I was expecting a run similiar to "Without You". Maybe just peaking inside the top 30. Judging by the bullet, it'll go higher than I expected, at least.

That formula actually worked quite well for them the first time out. Those flops only become a formula if they happen multiple times, which this album shall determine. And believe me, I'm rooting for this band to fail, HARD. :)

They don't write their own music, either? Bet that doesn't help with the haters.

Not bad for the weakest song on the album.

I'd like to see Waking Up The Devil or Put That Record On as single #3

I don't think they're gonna go with "Striptease" now, so I'd go with "Hey Ho."
