Hey, if you can argue a point so can I. #justsayin Fair enough. I wasn't arguing a point, I was correcting your mistake and a silly one too. Should pay attention more to what you write... and others to maybe.
Why don't vote in the Weekly Rock Countdown? I've always wondered.... |

Don't really understand how you can tell anything about a specific song's popularity from the fact that the album is downloaded a lot on I-Tunes...
Could be any combination of songs, or could be people being into the movie/excited about its release - just saying...

Could be any combination of songs, or could be people being into the movie/excited about its release - just saying... Uh....each song on the soundtrack has their own 'popularity bar' like so,  And like I said before, its relative popularity within the soundtrack is probably because it's one of the few songs not bound by the 'album only' caveat (you can't get it unless if you buy the whole thing) that wasn't able to be purchased prior to the OST's release. As it's listed under 'Soundtrack' and not rock, it's probably doing better because the segment's smaller. That being said, I don't see it on the overall song chart for iTunes Canada, so it's not that, that popular. |

(How could certain songs be more popular than others if people are downloading the whole album?) |

(How could certain songs be more popular than others if people are downloading the whole album?) You can just choose to download the entire album or to individually pick tracks provided that they aren't under 'album only' which requires you to get the whole thing. Hypothetically speaking, if everyone was buying the whole album, the popularity bar would be the same for every track. But it's not so the popularity bar being more filled for particular songs indicate that people are picking and choosing from the non-restricted songs and some were picked individually more than others. Hope that clarifies. :) |

If you pick and choose tracks, does that count towards their position (as singles) on I-Tunes? If not, IMO that completely explains why rock songs have such a hard time on the I-Tunes chart... |

Whether you buy it as part of an album or individually, the aggregate number of times it's been purchased in either fashion counts towards its chart position. That being said, since pop is a lot more singles-driven, that explains why rock songs have an incredibly hard time on the overall song chart. Not to mention, sales as a whole in general. I just looked on iTunes Canada and the number one pop song was also number one for the overall chart meanwhile the current number one rock song was at number 50. UGHHH. |

I'd say this is anything but generic. It might start out that way but it becomes anthemic, as someone said. I'm really loving it.

I realize I am probably talking to myself at this point but people who've seen the Transformers movie yesterday have been saying that the song is actually in the movie for a verse and chorus so that should give it a boost. And it has been steadily climbing in audience/weekly spin increases/chart position so this is great! It's at #35 now, just having jumped David Cook's The Last Goodbye and it'll probably jump another spot tomorrow. I have pretty much no doubt that this'll surpass Notbroken's piss-poor peak of #26.  |

On a more general note, (and yes, still aware that I'm still pretty much talking to myself at this point) those who say the band needs a kick in the pants might just get what they wanted. This Billboard article sounds promising -- they're gonna do uptempo and upbeat stuff. The description of Last Hot Night in America (a new song they're gonna do on tour this summer) definitely does not seem like what they've done before: Rzeznik says the Goos will road-test one of the new songs, "Last Hot Night In America," when the group hits the road with Michelle Branch and Parachute on July 7 in Muskegon, Mich. "It's a song about this dude who's basically fed up with everything, and he decides he's just going to go out and have a good time," Rzeznik says. "He's basically sitting in his room worrying about everything in his life, and he finally just says, 'F**k it!' and he suits up and gets the hell out in the world and tries to enjoy himself. It's the way I think a lot of people are feeling right now."
Rest of the article's here: www.billboard.com/news/goo-goo-dolls-working-on-very-uptempo-new-1005261332.story#/news/goo-goo-dolls-working-on-very-uptempo-new-1005261332.storyOh, and All That You Are did jump to #34.  |

(envisions the Goo Goo Dolls emulating some country-rock act like Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert or Big & Rich, or a chicken-fried metal band like HELLYEAH!, in composing this raisin' some Cain on a Friday night and having a good time anthem) ;) Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS |

Haha. No. That is just about as likely as them singing about hitting up a club and having a good time. XD

For those who are interested, here's the new song I was talking about a little while ago, Last Hot Night in America:
Quality's not the best, but it's because I recorded this second-hand with my new camera from a stream a radio station was doing.

That's a very healthy bullet. I'm happy for them...I really hope this reaches at least the top 5. They deserve it since not only is it a good song, but they've worked pretty hard for a few years and haven't had a big hit since "Better Days" in 2005. Which is a shame since I think "Let Love In" is one of their best singles that should've peaked higher than #9 on Hot AC.

I'm actually hoping they release a studio version of "Last Hot Night in America" soon, to be honest. This hasn't grown on me at all, while I'm convinced their latest song has reinvigorated their live show considerably. I've seen new footage where Rzeznik is smiling much more often again and showing more kinetic movement on-stage as well, rather than standing stiff and pensive behind the microphone stand at least two-thirds of the time. I just hope when we do hear the studio version that it doesn't sound too similar to "Stay With You" and ends up more muscular-sounding. But the live version gives me hope they are learning from their recent missteps and are turning it up a notch. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS |

Looks like it's going to peak at #15 short of a miracle. Other than an already pre-taped performance on Craig Ferguson (I have no idea when it'll air; it was filmed on the 22nd), there's nothing down the pipe for promo. Bummer.
