I was a little late discovering the Killers, and at first "Somebody Told Me" was easily my favorite. This really has grown with each listen. I love the lyrics. I think I was disappointed because the verses are pretty much one note the whole time, but now i think it only adds to the song's greatness. love it, favorite on the album

It's actually #2. Didn't "Somebody Told Me" also peak at #2? Wrong on both counts. On the r3r chart (the one R&R uses) it's still at #3. (But wow, look at the lead Green Day has on the r3m chart! :o) "STM" also peaked at #3 on the September 17th chart, so they're tied so far. lw TW Artist Title TW lw Move 2 1 GREEN DAY American Idiot 2437 2343 94 18.244 1 2 LINKIN PARK Breaking The Habit 2408 2457 -49 17.767 4 3 KILLERS Somebody Told Me 1851 1837 14 12.760 5 4 BREAKING BENJAMIN So Cold 1839 1770 69 11.139 3 5 THREE DAYS GRACE Just Like You 1819 1942 -123 12.366

Oh, I was looking at the wrong chart then.
Wow, so this is actually Green Day's first week at #1? :o Here I was following the wrong one the whole time thinking it had a few weeks under its belt already...

I just read the chart you posted 2 posts above, and didn't bother reading it all the way thorugh. I just saw "Green Day" at #1 and "The Killers" at #3 without looking at each song, and assumed it to be the current chart!

this song is starting to bounce back again. With the crossover push, this could go #1 and end up in this year's Top 5 at Alternative.

Interesting note: When I saw the video on MTV2 for the first time (which I guess would have been late November or the first half of December) I noticed Brandon had a new haircut. But I studied him for a little while longer because there was something else about him that was intriguing me. And then it came. "Wait a second. With his hair trimmed and the eyeliner on (which I wear if it suits my outfit), he kind of resembles me now." Or at least the me before I dyed my hair black and keep trimming back everything but the top.
Now I was reluctant to think that and personally downplayed it because it wasn't uncanny and I've never thought I looked like anyone famous before. People have told me I look like Edward Norton ("Fight Club") several times, which I see under the right circumstances, but I've never been the one to think/suggest I resemble a famous person.
Now then: (Stay with me here) I'm off at college and don't get to collect my mail sent home except a couple times per semester. But my dad called over the weekend and within the conversation, he told me I got an issue of Spin magazine in the mail. He volunteered that the Killers were on the cover. "Okay, great," I said. And then he added, "Your mom thought one of the guys in the band looked like you" and further mentioned the eyeliner.
My mind was blown. I see the resemblance more in the video than on the magazine cover, but still, for my mom to say that and have no idea that the same thought had crossed my mind...

The album is really kicking in now...jumps from No. 22 to No. 14 on a 17% sales gain...42,466 units sold bringing the album to 927,901...and both Mr. Brightside and "Somebody Told Me" took huge leaps in Digital sales.
Also, they now have the No. 1 album in both the UK and Ireland...this is starting to be a very good year for the Killers.

And Mr. Brightside is about to explode into top 10 hit on pop... *knocks on wood*... this is going to be an incredible year for The Killers, 99.9% guarenteed.

this looks to be the next #1 on Alternative, its really starting to pick up again, and i think once it hits #1, that Hot AC and CHR\POP will really bump it as well.

I feel that "Mr. Brightside" may not hang in there long enough to take #1 by default, but still their peak is very commendable as it is. The Killers will definitely have a great 2005.

Oh, God. It looks like this is going to be saved from recurrent-dom by, of all songs, "Smile Like You Mean It"!

LMAO at the previous exchange.
I just saw the original version of the video for this on Yahoo, and while it's obviously not as good as the one they released, I thought it looked very nice. I love it when artists use photographic experiementation in their videos and this is a great example in my opinion.

And now it has been saved by the ridiculously steep fall of "Your Time Has Come".

Back up two spots to #18, with a bullet. However, it looks like next week could finally be the week as there are a potential 5 songs that could pass it and most likely 0 that could fall below it.
