Posted at DaughtryOfficial:
Tune into American Idol, this Wednesday, April 9th, at 8/7 Central (check local listings), for a special appearance by Daughtry. The band performed their next single, "What About Now," during their recent visit to Uganda, as part of the 'Idol Gives Back' charity. Don't miss it!
I have a feeling this would do better here than at the Top 40 formats. Hopefully, it goes Top 5 like the other 4 previous singles. ;)

Does anyone know what the current peak for this is on the Adult Top 40 chart? I'm not subscribed to Billboard anymore, so I don't get the full charts.

Yeah it's #27 right now on the R&R Hot AC chart (with a bullet of +177)...since R&R and Billboard both use BDS now (I think) that should be the same position as the Adult Top 40 chart on Billboard (unless Billboard uses more or less stations...not sure) The only chart it already has a high peak on is the Billboard Hot 100 cause of all those downloads when the live version came out, but seems inaccurate IMO to use download peaks like that when a single isn't available on the CD (cause it's already outpeaked Feels Like Tonight on the Hot 100, mainly I think cause the live version became available on I-Tunes) Anyhow, I'd just go to radioandrecords.com and use their Hot AC chart cause it's either identical or really similar to Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart (and on the R&R site you can see all 40 songs, and it's free lol...)

Ok thanks. I did know it's already outpeaked FLT on the Hot 100, which seems really weird, but that's digital for you.

"What About Now" is definitely suited more for AC or Hot AC. Even though Daughtry is showing signs of burn-out, this should still do very well at Hot AC. AC will probably start adding it 5 or 6 months from now.

I really wish Nickelback would stop releasing songs. Not only don't I agree with the joke, but there is no way Kroeger can sing like Daughtry. The only point of comparison one can even make is that the songs sound "rock" but are making it in pop and HotAC. I'm not sure Kroeger could sing without the "rock rasp" if his life depended on it. Seriously, I would've laughed at the joke if you had chosen any of the countless groups out there that actually sound like Nickelback.

I am really tired of Daughtry right now, he needs to wait until 2010 for anything new. This song sounds like a song off of Creed's label (what is it again?) from 2001, that would go like #25 on Hot AC, #31 on Pop, and #17 on Alternative\Modern Rock. I really am wondering which route Daughtry will take on the next album though because this sound (I mean he had three GREAT opening singles off of this album for Hot AC\Rock) but it's about as fresh as a skunky Pabst Blue Ribbon from last Saturday.

^ They've been previewing some of the new songs that they've been writing for the second album. That should give you a clue of their direction although obviously the songs are still in raw versions and a lot could change at the studio. I really wish Nickelback would stop releasing songs. Not only don't I agree with the joke, but there is no way Kroeger can sing like Daughtry. The only point of comparison one can even make is that the songs sound "rock" but are making it in pop and HotAC. I'm not sure Kroeger could sing without the "rock rasp" if his life depended on it. Seriously, I would've laughed at the joke if you had chosen any of the countless groups out there that actually sound like Nickelback. Yep - I agree. I honestly don't get why people always say Daughtry sounds like Nickelback. I can understand (although I still disagree) if they mean the sound - sure. But the vocals? They're so different IMO.

Lol I def. think this song is pretty weak, but it's followin up 4 huge Hot AC/CHR singles (and a couple released to rock) so IMO we gotta cut him some slack Thinkin this will be like a Last Beautiful Girl by M20 (they didn't have to release it, but they were on a roll...) HAC needs new material now, so IMO it'll prob. break the Top 20 there...can't see it doin anythin on CHR except cracking the Top 40 (and fallin quickly after that), and I'd be surprised if it got that far on Alt./Rock

The label has officially lost their minds if they release this to Alt/Rock. This won't go anywhere. They need something like "There and Back Again". Right now, the only presence Daughtry can have at rock radio is Chris' guest vocals on Sevendust's new single, "The Past".

Alas, none of the songs that sound like Nickelback have a song our currently! Nah, I only made the comparison because of the similar sounding generic pop-rock material, the longevity of their tracks and the fact that I simply can't stand either at the moment for those reasons.

Yeah really can't see Kroeger/Nickelback bein big Daughtry fans... Nickelback is much more Alternative IMO, and if you listen to their CDs most of the tracks would be classified as straight rock - couldn't possibly imagine Feels Like Tonight by Nickelback lol Just guessin but I'm thinkin Chad Kroeger was prob. more influenced by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, etc. while Chris Daughtry seems like a blend of Bon Jovi and the Goo Goo Dolls

They're also kind of following the same track as MB20, as far as releasing a lot of singles from their debut album.

I own four Nickelback CDs, along with Daughtry's CD. Both bands are obviously influenced by different bands. My comparison wasn't even to compare Nickelback to Daughtry in terms of sound, but to more or less point out that much of the success of both bands recently has been to release song after song that sound generic, pop-rock songs. It's just my opinion, but "If Everyone Cared" and "Far Away" sound very similar, just as "Feels Like Tonight" and "Over You" have a similar sound. I guess after a certain number of singles from an act, I'd appreciate a break from them.

Yeah def. agree about both releasin similar-sounding songs recently, but IMO different ones lol...to me If Everyone Cared sounds just like Savin' Me, Feels Like Tonight sounds like a sped-up version of Home, and Over You sounds like It's Not Over Takin both bands and CDs into account, the only songs IMO that are really original are Photograph by NB and Home by Daughtry (It's Not Over always sounded really generic to me not sure why) Still really like what both bands did for CHR this past year (basically IMO "balanced" back out a ton of CHRs musically for the first time since about 2001 I think)

Wow this video seems really influenced by If Everyone Cared (sorry to bring back the Nickelback comparison lol which IMO isn't even close except for the video concept)
IMO verses to this are much better than chorus which seems really generic

I actually like this better than Feels Like Tonight. "What About Now" is already #14 with an increase of 288 spins. Feels like another top 5 Hot AC smash for Daughtry!
