I'm mad that "Slither" is poised to be a much bigger hit than the song that the real STP released in midyear 2003, nor do I understand why.
Yeah, I'm sure Sony put just enough money behind "Last Train Home" immediately following its stall at #3 a month or so ago, but It's alright with me. A rare case of "good payola". They owe them for what they did to the whole Fake Sound album.
What the hell is up with that Modest Mouse song? Are they trying to be Dexy's Midnight Runners or something? How is this song in the top 20?
Where did that Slipknot song come from...about to debut (with "Numb" and "Meant to Live" gone this week) right out of nowhere.
It looks like "I Hate Everything About You" is going to hang around forever much like "Meant to Live" (up until this week).

"Slither" just seems to stick in my head a lot better than "AITSTYW" did...I never really got into that song, but I have gotten into "Slither." I guess maybe you could say it's catchier. Oh, and Modest Mouse rules!

Modest Mouse are almost what I guess you could say "Indie rock legends". A lot of people worship them almost in the same way they would Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr. or Pavement, etc... etc...
I'm of the belief that Float On is to Modest Mouse what Cut Your Hair was to Pavement or what Feel the Pain was to Dinosaur Jr.
However you think of it, I feel that Modest Mouse are due for a successful radio hit.

Oh, I've heard of them (Modest Mouse) and have heard about them all the time; it's just that I had no idea they were going to sound like that. It's too early for me to tell if I like them or not. Did they recently switch to some bigger label? I'm just floored that a song like that is doing so well.

I admit, I got introduced to Modest Mouse thanks to "Float On," but I've checked out some of their other stuff and it's great.
On another note, it looks like "Meant To Live" and "Numb" have finally gone recurrent.

To answer crash46's question, they were on an indie label, until 2000, or maybe earlier, but after that they signed to Epic where they released The Moon & Antarctica.
My introduction to them was a year after that album came out and I heard "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes", which is such a cool song. I've heard several cuts from that album by now.

Do you think that Melissa Auf der Maur has a chance to hit the top 30 on any chart? She's currently at number 108 on Alternative, at 77 on Active Rock and at no 100 on Rock.

Was there a drop on the alternative panel? The top 3 songs seem to have less spins that they did in the past, but then again that was when Numb was at #1 and that probably got mega overplayed spins from a number of stations. Look at Switchfoot go! #22 with +133!! A couple of weeks ago I was worried this song was destined for a #35 peak, but now top 20 is in its reach!

It seems this exciting revolving-door #1 action may be halted for just a little while, as Jet is currently in no immediate danger of losing the top spot.
Linkin Park may still have a shot at going four for four from "Meteora" at #1, but Jet should have more than one week at #1.
It seems Velvet Revolver, the white horse, and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, the dark horse, will be the two next likely challengers for the next #1 after them.
