Is this a typo or what? This is off their 2003 album. It's going for adds at Hot AC July 30th.

WHAT?!?! That's CRAZY! I love the song but it seems so weird. Is 'Foiled' getting a re-release? What happened to 'She's My Ride Home'? I love that song! We need to investigate. I'm kind of excited but only because this is so weird and it involves a song I already love. K, I did some quick legwork and they DO have a new Live CD coming out BUT 'Calling You' isn't on the tracklisting that Wikipedia has. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Stubb%27s_%28Blue_October_album%29Neither is 'Congratulation', which I absolutely love but that probably wouldn't have the magic that the album version does without Imogen. I'd consider getting this since 'Foiled' is among my favourite albums of the last year since this supposedly contains every song except 'Congratulations', plus more. |

Well, it worked for Gym Class Heroes and Plain White T's.

Awesome. This is definitely their best chance for another hit. This song has held up amazingly for me considering that it's 4 years old. Funny thing is that this is much more radio-friendly than "Hate Me".

How did it do the first time? Didn't it just graze the Top 50 alternative chart?
I saw a news tidbit on FMQB that said they were re-releasing 'Foiled' as a double CD with the second disc as a live album so maybe this is a new track on the first disc ie. the studio album.
I doubt I'd get it unless the live disc were released on its own for sure as well.
I'm not opposed to the idea really except for when it comes to my personal chart where this song has already done well on both of them but not as well as either of the singles from 'Foiled' so there's room for improvement. ;) I'm just wondering if it could do well on radio despite following a few attempts that didn't result in anything.

Wasn't this off the American Wedding soundtrack? I remember Mediabase really advertising this song and I thought it was all right. I think it could do good at this format. I'd kind of like to see a shake up on the chart with this song.

I saw that and had a big WTF moment...I'd heard that the song before Hate Me even came out was their most popular song. What's the point of rehashing an old song. I seriously doubt that the single released would be a live version because those hardly ever do well on the radio. The last song that I remember that did well as a single that was "live" was Aaron Lewis' and Fred Durst's Family Values version of "Outside".

I enjoy this track a lot more than I have their last couple of releases. If it is getting a re-release, I'm super pumped. Yeah, that's right. So excited I'm SUPER PUMPED!

How did it do the first time? Didn't it just graze the Top 50 alternative chart? Yeah, it peaked at #47, and I remember most people being shocked that it even got that high. However, there's no reason why this shouldn't have been a top 10 hit at Hot AC the first time around. I'm glad it's getting another chance, but 4 years later it's going to be harder for me to get overly excited if this song becomes huge. |

I remember this song did go for Hot AC adds at least twice and possibly three times. At least the last time it went for adds, people were like "just give up already!!"

No, they've changed it at pop too (according to FMQB).

Here's hoping they ditch their new material and release A Quiet Mind after this!

I was wondering how this song was doing after going for adds and was surprised to see that it's nearly Top 50!

Where did this song originally peak? Besides us chart nerds, virtually no one knows the song and will consider it new.

I don't even think it made the chart the first time, did it? I know it was sent for adds on Pop (or was it Hot AC?) twice, or even three times back in 2003/04. I think it scraped the bottom of the Alternative chart though.

The song itself is all right, but it's not worthy of another release. "Into the Ocean" was so much better IMO. |

What album is this promoting? It just seems so random and it's just *out there*.

i think they just got the exposure from Hate Me and into the Ocean, that they were hoping for on their previous album. and Calling you is super catchy and good, and so they released it. and its working for more exposure. there really wasnt another radio friendly track from Foiled. but i agree, it is a random move... but it is doing well.

I was ignoring this until I finally heard it yesterday on WINC, and now I love it.

Don't think it's makin' the top 20, which is a shame because this is a really good one.

Bit late for a video, eh? Did they have one for this song before? Are they sending this out to Pop?
