Does anyone think that this song has potential to be a hit on Hot AC? I think it's catchy enough and it's not too "hard" compared to their other stuff. So far it's done this here:
336 204 THREE DAYS GRACE Never Too Late 2006 Jive/Zomba 2 1 1 0.007

Dude, completely agree with you man!!! I heard this on Baltimore's rock station and it is a great song. I remember someone saying that this would be the "Lips of An Angel" of 2007 a while ago.
I hope that they are right.

I requested it last night on our Modern AC station and Star 98.7 in LA since they are the most liberal "Hot AC" stations in the country.

No offense, but I don't see this going anywhere. This song burnt out on me incredibly fast, especially after hearing it constantly on the radio for the past six months.

Because it sounds exactly like everything else they've done IMO. My dad loves it though, so maybe there's something in it that I'm not seeing.

It's the perfect crossover hit, IMO.

Eh, I don't think it really sounds like all their other songs. For one, it's not as "hard" and fast as their other songs and their lyrics aren't as angry. It's really depressing though LOL

I assume you're referring to the acoustic lyrics? Trust me, when your station plays a horrible acoustic version of "Pain" hearing that isn't so suprising, lol.

There's an acoustic version of "Never Too Late" that has different lyrics? Sorry, I'm slow...

No, I was referring to the fact that "Never Too Late" has a lighter guitar during the lyrics.

Haven't heard this but it's really strange to imagine any song by Three Days Grace hitting Hot AC (just judging from the guy's voice and their intensely ANGRY feel:)

No way man - it might have come close to the CHR Top 40 or even broke into the 30s on CHR - I know it broke into the high 20s and stayed about 15 weeks on the CHR/HAC combo chart I keep - I think it hit #1 Alternative I have "Pain" spending one week at #40 on the CHR/HAC combo chart on 4/8/07

I'm surprised this song is getting "big" on the Pop chart.
71 65 THREE DAYS GRACE Never Too Late 2006 Jive/Zomba 213 172 41 0.405
Hopefully it will go for adds here eventually.

The fact that this has no plays on Hot AC is absurd.

IMO it's too direct about suicide for HAC (I think the chorus lyrics are "you wanna take your life" or somethin like that...that doesn't mean it can't be a minor CHR hit though (although it seems like there have been so many alternative/hard rock songs about suicide it's been done to death..."Jumper" by Third Eye Blind, "Last Resort" by Papa Roach, "Close My Eyes Forever" by Ozzy Osbourne - seems like there's been more - )

Only thang is...this is an intensely serious song about stopping (a friend I think) from committing suicide, whereas in "Beautiful Girls" I don't think you were supposed to take him seriously It's starting to get some "buzz" on Alternative-leaning CHRs...it might be another "Forever" by Papa Roach

Is it moreso about it than 'Jumper' by Third Eye Blind?

In Sean Kingston's defence, a number of stations did play the edited version where they have him "in denial" rather than "suicidal."
