So far, it's received two adds this week on Hot AC. It's the second single from Something For The Rest Of Us.

It's another song filled with cliches, and rehashed lyrics from other songs (he even sings again about going home in the chorus)
IMO this is not a good era for them

I like this a lot better than "Home", but this is way too reminiscent of "Fallin' For You" by Colbie Caillat with the added production coming in in the chorus. I'm expecting a peak between #16 and #20.

While I always root for the Goo Goo Dolls :), their top 10 streak was broken in 2008 when "Real" spent 1 week at #40.

That song never went for adds or got a push at radio, it wasn't from a cd of they'res as i recall. if it would've went 4 adds and had a push, it had a good chance at that time. I think that's why people don't count that one, it's they're "Downfall". "Downfall" as in the 4th single by Matchbox Twenty off of MTYTYA. It never had a video or had much of a push by the label due to the string of hits before still being played on radio

It's not "Well, we're only counting songs that were given a legitimate chance only"... if you did that the records wouldn't mean anything.

It's not broken because it was a digital-only release that only charted from unsolicited airplay. Their streak is still intact at this time, but I expect it to end with this one.

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus Yeah, that's what i was trying to say, you explained it better lol. I remember Chris Daughtry going top 40 with Wanted Dead Or Alive cover of Bon Jovi off of airplay from AI, same sorta situation.

I must still respectfully disagree. It made the chart, whether the record label wanted it to or not. Therefore, technically, the song broke their streak.
Similar situation with the Daughtry single mentioned above. Technically, Chris Daughtry did not reach the top 10 with his first hit. However, the group Daughtry has reached top 10 with all of its releases.
In early 1988, "Spotlight" broke Madonna's long streak of top 5 hits, even though it wasn't pushed as a single (I believe).

Wait you guys are saying it would've been better if Real had had LESS airplay, cause then they're Top 10 streak would be intact - something doesn't make sense here
Assuming Naked didn't chart at all on Hot AC, and that right there would've broken their streak if it had edged into the Top 40

But the bottom line is, every single they've released since "Iris" (which preceded "Dizzy Up The Girl" and later made the album obviously) has made the Top Ten to this day. "Real" was NOT released as a single. One can argue "Real" broke their streak of consecutive tracks making the Top Ten, but we were talking singles to begin with and "Real" does not change the fact their impressive streak remains intact.

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus Using the Radio and Records/Mediabase charts, the Dolls' top original top ten streak ended with "Big Machine", which topped out at #11. So did its follow-up, "Sympathy". Those two did make the top 10 on BDS/Billboard.

I've followed the Mediabase from All Access since they've had it and i remember these peaks as i follow the Goo's, but they are documented on wikapedia as well as the book by record research for billboard author Joel Whitburn's Top Adult Songs 1961-2006 (it has the whole Hot AC archive by artist up until 2006 as well as the entire ac chart from 1961-2006.. Goo Goo Dolls: 1. Name #1 2. Iris #1 3. Slide #1 4. Black balloon #3 5. broadway #5 6. here is gone #3 7. big machine #10 8. i'm still here #10 john rzeznik solo 9. sympathy #10 10. give a little bit #1 11. better days #3 12. stay with you #6 13. let love in #9 14. before it's too late #9 15. home #9

Look at the above post... the only song to hit the hot ac charts besides the above mentioned is "Real" which i think peaked at #39, 'Naked" never charted on hot ac just chr and there it verily went top 40 but the streak actually did start with "Name" where it ends or ended that will always be an argument i guess

Hi all. I wanted to post these numbers a while ago but my account was only approved today after signing up over a week ago.
51 43 GOO GOO DOLLS Notbroken 263 188 75 0.606
One question though. Did this have an official adds date? All I seem to be able to find is the UK one.

No, it's never went officially for adds at hot ac, they are a very core artist like Rob Thomas and Train and sometimes are well into the top 40 before the song even gets an adds date if at all in some cases. If it struggles they will probably set one but i wouldn't count on this blowing up intil after the holidays :(

Did this have an official adds date? All I seem to be able to find is the UK one. To officially answer your question, this is getting promoted now with an adds date coming up! but like i said after New Years you will see this rise. It's a top 10 hit too imo! This was in my DMDS inbox this morning.... Goo Goo Dolls “Notbroken” 2010 marks the 15th year since drummer Mike Malinin joined founding members John Rzeznik and Robby Takac to form the Goo Goo Dolls. The band has since garnered an impressive list of achievements including 4 Grammy nominations, 15 appearances on Tonight Show with Jay Leno (more than any other musical act), 13 consecutive Top 10 multi-format hit songs (“Iris” spent 17 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Charts), and over 10 million albums sold. The first single, “Home,” from their brand new release SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US peaked in the Top 10 at Hot AC in America and was Top 40 at Active Rock Radio in Canada. The second single “Notbroken,” is currently Top 40 at Hot Ac in America. It is available in your DMDS Library Now. The band has announced a slew of Canadian Tour Dates, most of which go on sale this week! Tour Dates: 02/08 St. John's, NL Delta Conference Centre, regular on-sale: 11/27 02/09 Grandfall Windsor, NL Joe Byrne Memorial Stadium, regular on-sale: 11/27 02/11 Halifax, NS Rebecca Cohn Auditorium, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/12 Charlottetown, PE Trade and Convention Centre, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/14 St. John, NB Trade and Convention Centre, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/16 Montreal, QC Olympia Theatre, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/18 Ottawa, ON NAC, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/19 Hamilton, ON Hamilton Place, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/20 Windsor, ON The Colosseum @ Ceasar's, regular on-sale: 12/03 02/23 Winnipeg, MB Pantages, regular on-sale: 11/26 02/25 Regina, SK Casino Regina, regular on-sale: 11/11 02/26 Edmonton, AB River Cree Casino, regular on-sale: 12/17 02/28 Calgary, AB Jack Singer, regular on-sale: 11/26 03/02 Vancouver, BC Commodore, regular on-sale: 11/26

Neat. Thanks for the update. It should be interesting what this'll do considering the timing and the background. A lot of people loved it when they did this song live before the album dropped in August, which is probably why it had so much more additional sales than the rest of the CD. And seeing as this is why this was picked...I'll be interested to see how this does at radio as good songs don't always make good radio singles. Hopefully this does well to guarantee a 3rd single.
They already shot the music video so at least they don't have this ass-backwards like they did for Home. Don't know when it's coming out exactly, but earlier is definitely better than later.

Yea i hope it does well and that's awesome about the video, can't wait to see it! I hope they get a 3rd single as well! I really like "Sweetest Lie", "As I Am" & "Soldier" :)

^ Saw that this morn and was happy. It's moving up a bit nicely before stations are switching over to Christmas music. NP! Yea i hope it does well and that's awesome about the video, can't wait to see it! I hope they get a 3rd single as well! I really like "Sweetest Lie", "As I Am" & "Soldier" :) Yeah, I like pretty much everything off the album. There's a lot of single-worthy material on there too. A lot of people who I've asked their opinions of what a possible 3rd single should be tend to say As I Am and Nothing Is Real. AIA is rather a 'safe' choice lyrically if they were to go that way. I'd love to see them pick Still Your Song because of the sad lyrics and just the way John taps into past regret past the point of forgiveness so genuinely. If you know a bit of his personal background, it sounds like he's beating himself up with words much like he did with Sympathy although more so than that song. Of course, it probably won't be considering John's touchy about the song, but its nice to dream.

I don't really like Notbroken, I think there are better songs on the album to release as singles. It just seems a bit cheesy to me, but maybe that's because I don't really believe the story that John Rzeznik tells about what inspired it. If you are going to say a story is true, then it really should be true.

Ignore lily, she's a frequenter of multiple Goo Goo Dolls' fan boards (not to mention, a brief frequenter at that as since she keeps on getting herself kicked out of them) who has nothing better to do than to obsess over the tiniest of details to annoy others to no end, especially that of Notbroken's story because the woman at the centre of the story never came forward and said that the song is about her. Anyway, to answer your question Marv, the story is that Rzeznik met a woman at a meet and greet at some point in time who slipped him a note. It basically said that her husband was a soldier in Iraq who got injured over there and didn't want to come home because he was afraid that she wouldn't love him anymore in his new state because he felt he that he wasn't whole, that he was less. Even still, the woman doesn't care that he's changed and just wants him back. The song is basically Rzeznik speaking on behalf of the woman to the husband like a sort of love letter back to him. Having known the background of the song from the start, it's kind of interesting to wonder how people interpreted the song without it. :)
