I really like this song, but I was under the impression that Make Me Over was gonna be the next single. Thankfully it's not, but I heard they were getting USC (i think) students to submit video ideas for it. Oh well, I'm hoping for a video from this one.
The original version sounded like the original version of Apologize. The new version sounds like Chasing Cars.

The new version sounds like Chasing Cars. Yeah at first I had no clue what you were talkin about, but they did add a guitar riff that's kinda like a sped-up version of the one in Chasing Cars - the songs are almost opposites though lyrically lol

Yeah, I was referring to the musical aspect of it, not the lyrics :)

They just shot the video for this. Apparently, Keifer Sutherland directed the video. A Daughtry fan was an extra at the video and the recap she gave for the video was really amazing.

I can see the appeal this slow songs has for diehard fans, but to hear it come on the radio, it's a snoozer. Again, nice guys but they are as big as they are going to get. No star or credibility factor at all. Having said that, it's nice to see them get a video for this and help them sell a few more albums. This may be one of those albums that takes two years and a ton of radio play to sell 500,000 albums.

Not many bands have two of the biggest hits of the decade...think that gives them cred's, along with constant Hot AC and Adult-leaning CHR airplay for the past year Pretty sure their concerts sell pretty well too What they lack in CD sales they def. make up for in radio airplay

For as much radio play has they have had they should have sold millions and millions of albums. By now, they probably have about as much airplay on HotAC as Matchbox Twenty but they aren't anywhere near this band in sales (even considering the slump in sales the past few years). Lifehouse can sell out a House of Blues 2,000-3,000 seats with a ticket price at what $25-30 dollars. So maybe they make $75,000-100,000 a show...probably more like $50,000. Will they ever be a band that will have the demand to sell tickets for $50-100? Highly doubtful. This band will eventually go the way of most HotAC bands. The lead singer is not a star. I can't even think of his name right now.

Will they ever be a band that will have the demand to sell tickets for $50-100? Highly doubtful. This band will eventually go the way of most HotAC bands. That comparison is hardly fair. MB20 started out as an alternative pop-rock band in 1995 and spent the rest of the decade dominating pop rock on pop music, allowing them to build a HUGE audience. Then, as pop music threw their core artists on the street in the 2001-2003 era, MB20 migrated more to HAC while still able to score a couple of CHR hits. Lifehouse came onto the mainstream scene in 2001, towards the beginning of the hip-hop takeover of pop radio. They were able to score big with their debut hit, but then struggled with their next album deeply to get a play on pop radio. They then come back with their third album and are able to score one hit again, but by this time, pop radio was not going to be embracing artists like Lifehouse, so their core demographic shifted to a new radio format (HAC), where they have been a great core artist since 2001. The two bands have a very different history and trying to compare them and say that they have the same success on HAC is simply ridiculous. MB20 has TONS of singles spun in gold status as well as carrying over the pop crowd of the 1990s. Lifehouse has no such advantage.

Broken VideoKinda reminds me of the original Dare You to Move video at the start. And then the Bittersweet Symphony video in the middle. But the ending is pretty original. I like it.

Almost top 10:
13 11 LIFEHOUSE Broken 1957 1719 238 9.644
It also debuted at #20 on vh1's top 20 countdown. Which is impressive since this was its first week eligible for voting and songs in their first week usually doesn't get all the votes because some votes go in before the voting list is updated. If I remember correctly the last 2 or 3 Daughtry videos didn't get in on their first week of eligibility simply for that reason.

It seems like this song is travelling up the charts faster than their other singles did...

Lifehouse has managed to buck the trend of similar artists being one and done or two and done and they are doing it with great singles. The fact is, radio doesn't really WANT to play them, but the songs are too good to ignore. Hangin' By a Moment and You and Me, and all of a sudden you have an album full of good hits. I'm surprised this isn't impacting pop yet, perhaps Gavin Rossdale's song is preventing that as being the melodic hit for right now.

This deserves to be #1, but it looks like it's going to take the backseat (for the third time in a row) with all of the Pink and Nickelback hype. I'm going to predict another #3 peak. It's sad that they can never get higher because all of the Pop songs at the top.
It seems like everything that goes #1 on Pop these days eventually makes it to #1 on Hot AC. "Big Girls Don't Cry" kept "First Time" from #1. "Bleeding Love" kept "Whatever It Takes" from #1. I'm not complaining because I like both of those songs, but it would be nice to see Lifehouse at least get one #1 on their primary format. At least "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Bleeding Love" fit with the format, can't say the same for "So What." Hot AC is quickly becoming too much like Pop.

I think that even if Gavin weren't having Pop success, Pop is absorbing several returning artists' songs right now, and this would probably just get lost in the shuffle. This would have to build quite a bit of buzz, a la "You and Me", to have even a decent shot over there.
-----
Holy gazoombas! @ Nickelback's bullet. :o I wonder if Pink will also get shut out - Jason's going to be #1 for quite a while, and by the time Pink gets to his level, Nickelback could very well have caught up to her.

Yeah, I think you are right. Although the strong video might help propel it to a top 40 even if it doesn't get much higher than that. Having said that, the fact that OAR is barely in the top40 doesn't give me much hope because that is a great song.

I think OAR has already exceeded expectations over at Pop, though - their only other single to chart ("Hey Girl") barely scratched the Top 50, and "Shattered" nearly had the same fate. I could see them going at least Top 30. Does "Broken" even have a Pop adds date?

I still see no pop adds date, and this song keeps rising, albeit slowly on the HotAC, I like the video.

It looks like they are getting roughly 70-80 spins on pop, not bad, but an adds date might help.
