Let the hype begin. Third album "Day And Age" due out in November, and we know that one of the songs is called "Neon Tiger." FMQB.com is the source. A sure add at Triple A and Alt. Can't wait! I'm interested to see the direction the band takes this time around. While I prefer "Hot Fuss" over "Sam's Town," the latter produced my favorite single from the band, "Read My Mind." Perhaps this will be the best album in the last thirty years? Update: According to NME, "Human" will be the first single.

The Killers have always been hit and miss with me. All of their songs have been love it or hate it for me which makes it difficult for me to want to buy their next album, but I'm still looking forward to hear the first single.

This should be huge here, their most Hot AC friendly song for sure, I don't see how this won't go at least Top 7 here.

One of the most added songs at Triple A this week. This should definitely do well at Hot AC as well. What's their track record at Hot AC?

I have to say with their last few singles it has taken many listens to finally get into the songs but I end up really liking them including "Human" which I now love. I remember the first time I heard "All These Things That I've Done" I remembering being so disappointed at first but now I rank it as my favorite Killers song.

Yeah I thought it would be pretty big too, but it's almost dead already at CHR (bullet is somethin like +31 I think)...it's almost a dance track IMO so if it flops at CHR can't see it doin too well at HAC

The Killers have always had an '80s sound. Even their hits "Somebody Told Me" and "When You Were Young" sound rather new-wavish.
"Human" further defines their '80s sound. It's certainly more Hot AC-friendly than "Mr. Brightside", which did rather well at this format; but the success of "Human" is rather uncertain right now.

I was sure Mr. Brightside did! Considering their singles haven't been HUGE on Hot AC... they sure do get a lot of spins in Gold/Recurrent with Somebody Told Me and Mr. Brightside. (And to a lesser extent When You Were Young)

It's certainly more Hot AC-friendly than "Mr. Brightside", Yeah - just don't really see that IMO (sorry ) - seems like a similar style, just thinkin the lyrics aren't catchin on with people (since most people haven't heard of Hunter S. Thompson, or his ideas about how Europeans are more human than Americans ) IMO only chance for HAC hit is if it starts growin on people at CHR and its bullet picks up...

Wouldn't it more logically hit HAC first, and then trickle over to CHR? Seems like those are two different audiences. It's doing well at Triple A thus far, so wouldn't it move on to another adult audience, at Hot AC?

Oh had no idea about Triple A (my AAA station isn't playin it at all, prob. cause my CHR is all over it for some reason) Just meant that the Killers have always done well on CHR (and pretty sure most rose on CHR before HAC...just not sure what would make this particular song appeal more to an adult audience, even at first, esp. since it's almost a dance track) Maybe it's too "deep" for CHR, and I guess maybe that's why it's doin well on Triple A...if that's true, than IMO ur right it could be crossin over from AAA to HAC

This is their best song in quite a while. I expect good things if their cred isn't already gone. One has to wonder if the lead singers vanity at the outset of the last album had a big impact on where things went after that.
