Well it seems like Incubus will spend atleast a couple of weeks at #1. Which makes me very very happy. I have only heard great things about their new album. I am picking it up on Thursday.
:o Wow I haven't been paying attention to "Away From The Sun" because I had no clue it was top forty. I don't understnad it. This is by far their worst single. Does anyone remember how "The Better Life" did on Alternative ?
What's up with Tantric losing it's bullet already :( . I thoght "Hey Now" would return them to the top ten.
I really hope Story Of The Year can hit the top ten. "Until The End Of Time" is one of my favorite songs out right now. I just caught the video on MTV last night for the first time.

Incubus will likely hold #1 for at least five weeks in my mind. I don't think this chart will see another #1 hit until Blink-182's "I Miss You" comes around. This may be a while Incubus holds the top spot. Has anyone noticed the "second-single wind" rolling among many returning artists. Consider all the following: Hoobastank Staind Nickelback Puddle of Mudd All these artists had first singles that couldn't climb the chart and stay above the top 20 for twenty weeks. But then Staind's second single became a much more longevite smash and all these other artists listed have singles rising at a slower rate (except for Hoobastank possibly) but displaying more stamina. Nickelback's "Figured You Out" has legs, Puddle of Mudd's "Heel Over Head" has a consistent rise going, even P.O.D may surpass the performance of their "Will You" Also: Jet's gains are increasing for "Cold Hard B****". A peak about as high as "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" is quite likely. Why is "Just Like You" by Three Days Grace not getting gains by now? Their first single has been out for nearly a year now, it should have been safe to release "Just Like You" a few months ago. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

The singles were:
"Kryptonite"
"Loser"
"Duck And Run"
"Be Like That"
I don't know if "The Better Life" was released in other countries.

I know "The Better Life" made either the Active Rock or Rock chart, but I thought he meant how'd the singles from that album do.

It's good to see that Blink 182 has the biggest bullet in the top ten. Hopefully they can get to #1

Yeah, I agree. I hope that this does go #1, it seems like a song that was made for the alternative format.
I hope Incubus can block Audioslave. I'm sorry, but if "Like A Stone" isn't #1 quality for the chart, neither is "I Am The Highway". I do find them overrated, as I do Linkin Park. Both artists wouldn't even need to be promoted to have a hit.
At the same time, I'd much rather have that at #1 than Nickelback. That song is so bland and makes no sense.
Other than that and Three Days Grace, the top 10 looks real good (but Audioslave and LP did make my personal chart, so saying that I don't like those won't do you any good).
"Here Without You" and "So Far Away" are examples of songs that aren't alternative at all that were alt. hits anyway. So it comes as no surprise how 3DD are still capable of hits that aren't really alt.
I hope that A Perfect Circle can make the top 10... I like how it's doing right now. 311 probably will, and AFI managed to outpeak "The Leaving Song Pt. II" with the latest.
"Darling Nikki" is losing spins, but very slowly.
"The Reason" looks like it will be huge. I'm not impressed with either single from Hoobastank's new album. Both songs are C's.
The White Stripes have lost their bullet, but still move up despite that. It's not nearly as deserving as the first two singles, so I don't mind.
Jet will be huge with their follow-up to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" This song is much better IMO.
I really thought Puddle of Mudd were done with, but I guess not. I hope it loses spins as fast as it gained spins.
The Living End have their third top 40 alternative hit with "Who's Gonna Save Us?" Also, I'm glad that The Strokes song has gained more than I saw it at last week. This song deserves to be at least where crappy acts like Godsmack and POM are.
The Vines and Cypress Hill look like they're going to be debuts on the chart.
Within a few weeks, I think that Yeah Yeah Yeahs can make the chart. I think it would be awesome, since I considered it a shunned song of 2003! Postal Service are just below, and if you didn't know already, are the side project of Death Cab For Cutie members.

WEQX, among others, took this out of regular rotation last fall. I mean, it's an outstanding song and was on my top 10 list for 2003...the recent activity seems just a bit odd, that's all. |

Both artists wouldn't even need to be promoted to have a hit. I remember all the hoopla (sp?) from board members when "cochise" came out, and now looking back, it's clear how mediocre it is compared to their next three (or four counting "gasoline") releases. "I am the highway" is nearly in the same category as "like a stone". LAS takes it based on the guitar bridge. |

I noticed Jimmy Eat World's "Get It Faster" gaining spins. It's #58 in audience if you can believe that, ahead of songs from Sevendust and Dashboard Confessional that are top 50 in spins.

For instance, it was stated that "Mad World" is over two years old, and HIM's "Join Me", I thought I was slow to only know of it in 2002, but nevermind, since it's already at #63 on the last update I checked. |

You know, if 'Mad World' can pick up a few adds next week, we might have The Cure and TFF in the top 20 at the same time. Well, not really, but close enough! How cool would that be? |
