It gone for adds on pop and HAC, so I wonder if it'll do better there. I can keep an eye on HAC, seeing as I'm already checking All That You Are.

I like their latest album but I'm not a huge fan of either version of this. It's a pretty boring song to be honest.

Knew it had a bit of steam left in it, but kinda sucks the next few songs above it are beating this by 200+ spins.

I really like this song, but I can't believe that it was chosen over "Burning in the Skies."

I think even if they do release another single after this, it should do well nonetheless, as this isn't technically from A Thousand Suns.

Whether they release "Burning In The Skies" next or not, I think they're going five singles deep minimum. They always have before, so I wouldn't expect anything differently.

This time out, they basically had to do a damage control second single and now the third is well into its shelf life and is struggling so hard just to earn its keep in the Top 20.

This is really kind of sad. These singles deserve more attention than this.

I had no idea that this didn't even hit the Top 20. That just surprises the hell out me considering that other third singles "In The End" and "Numb" hit #1 and "Shadow of The Day" hit #2. I guess it was just a poor choice of a single on the record company's part, but still for Linkin Park to only peak that low is shocking. Nick, you may be right. They may only try for one more single after this and if it doesn't succeed, a fifth single would probably be pointless to try to release.

My opinion is that it wasn't a poor choice of single, but that radio stations fucking suck.

I remember hearing Iridescent for the first time on the radio and thinking that the remix really messed up an emotionally powerful song. Burning in the Skies was my choice for single # 3 and will be a great choice for single # 4.
Do you think Alt Rock stations will play the original version once the buzz for Transformers 3 is over, or will we have to hear this (add your own adjective) version from now on?

My opinion is that it wasn't a poor choice of single, but that radio stations f**king suck. When a Linkin Park song flops on Alt. radio, I think you just have to admit that it's a poor song, at least single wise. Everything they've released from "Somewhere I Belong" onwards has reached the top 5 (bar "Leave Out All the Rest") + this is coming off the back of a #1, so it has to be something to do with the single quality. As it is, I dislike the whole album. I think they changed their sound too drastically. Most songs lack heaviness or a catchy hook, which their prior albums had in a abundance.

^Minutes To Midnight had the catchiness maybe, certainly not the heaviness.

Do you mean Minutes to Midnight or from "Somewhere I Belong" and so on to present day, all their singles hit Top 5 besides "Leave Out All the Rest" and "Iridescent"?

OK, "Minutes to Midnight" didn't have the heaviness, but the hooks (on the singles, at least) made up for it. Do you mean Minutes to Midnight or from "Somewhere I Belong" and so on to present day, all their singles hit Top 5 besides "Leave Out All the Rest" and "Iridescent"? The latter. I would be able to say post-"Hybrid Theory" if it wasn't for the "Reanimation" version of "Points of Authority" hitting #29.

Barely at #20 with "So Far Away" catching up on it. I'm hoping it can make it through the rest of the week.

Next single would either be "Burning" or from a new album, I'm sure. Yeah, it'd have to be Burning. Though, they might have shot themselves in the foot given what happened. Who knows though. And...oddly enough, I'm typing this up as Iridescent is playing on what I think is a CHR station that I can hear through my walls. Eerie.

Do you think Alt Rock stations will play the original version once the buzz for Transformers 3 is over, or will we have to hear this (add your own adjective) version from now on? Not a chance. Why would radio bother playing the Thousand Suns version of this, especially when it seems that most Alt station PDs would rather not be playing a Linkin Park ballad in the first place? Clearly, this won't be a song that gets any notable recurrent airplay once it's done. When a Linkin Park song flops on Alt. radio, I think you just have to admit that it's a poor song, at least single wise. I'll do no such thing. This is just as good, if not better than "Shadow of the Day" and "Leave Out All the Rest," in terms of mellow Linkin Park singles. On a similar note... When a Linkin Park song flops on Alt. radio, I think you just have to admit that it's a poor song, at least single wise. I don't have to admit to s**t. That is the best song on the damn album.

It's a fantastic song, just a poor single choice IMO. I'm actually surprised it's hanging on, I feel like it would've been over and done with by now.
PS. I still think "Leave Out All The Rest" is one of their best singles.

Basically every single in their entire career has hit... this hasn't. I don't think it takes too much working out. This was a bad, bad choice of single.

I'm not sure what the chart run "Lowlife" has to do with the career of Linkin Park. Surely you must confess that "Iridescent" was a poor choice... I'm not saying it's a bad song, although I find it boring. I think "Burning in the Skies" would be in the top 10/5 right now.
