From an industry standpoint - almost all major labels switched from BDS to Mediabase around the late 00s. Cost was the primary factor. But Mediabase is the chart they look at religiously. So it’s accurate to say the promotion efforts are focused on Mediabase panel. Getting BDS is gravy.

Does this have an odd time signature or am I crazy?

Interesting that this is poised to be the most successful chart single off the new album, and first FF top 5 alt single in some 7 years. Especially in this climate. Even Audacy is now supporting

I've been a fan of several of their 3rd/4th singles like "The Line", "Bridge Burning" and "Low", so it's nice that this one is actually charting better. Then again, Dave has been on a media blitz lately!

That’s really cool! After buying the album, this really stood out to me. Nice to see it's become one of their biggest hits in so long. It’s up there as one of my overall favs from them.

Hoping this can pave the way for "Medicine at Midnight" to be the fourth single.
This one is probably my favorite Foo Fighters single since "Something from Nothing". Glad it's doing solid still.

I wonder if RCA will push for the Alt #1 if Audacy is legitimately getting behind the song. Beggin will be tough to unseat but MAF sounds great next to it which might help it get more spins than it would have pre-Beggin. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
And yeah the title track as the capstone for the era would be perfect. Especially if MAF gets some crossover action to non-rock formats (they didn't have Mark Ronson rework the song just for AAA).
