Not too impressed with this one upon first listen. I love Incubus and I am not impressed either

43 100 INCUBUS Make A Move 68 274 -206 0.235
Looks like radio got tired of this one about as quickly as I did.
Its top 50 run on my personal chart: 49-38-36-32-36-off.

Personally, although I thought it sounded pretty average for them at first, this was growing on me considerably as I heard it more and more. Now I can't even remember the last time I heard it. I do believe this is their first official single that failed to reach the top 10 on alternative, though.

Well, since the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. era, it's the first time they missed the Top 10.

I REALLY REALLY hope the freefall and #18 (or so) peak of "Make A Move" isn't an indicator of future things to come on Alternative and rock formats for Incubus. The single best band to emerge into the spotlight the last eight years, IMO. You could make an argument for soundtrack songs never doing well (see "Won't Back Down" by Fuel, "Set Me Free" by Velvet Revolver) but then look at the success of "Love Song" by 311, a #1 hit. I'm worried.
Also, was "Are You In" not an official single? I could've sworn it was, and I believe it peaked around #36. I still hear that occasionally on KRBZ, my local alternative station.
Still, I'm worried.

That wasn't an official single (and I don't think it hit the top 50), but it did hover in the 60s and 70s for quite a long time.

I'm 99% positive that Are You In was an official single since they made a video for it and everything.

I think it might have been a single overseas, but not in the US. Still, it managed to peak at #40 on alternative. And I seem to remember commericals saying the video was too raunchy for American airplay and, I think, it was available on the Morning View DVD they released in '02.

I'm worried. I think that may have been more a reaction to the genericness of the song than the first step to being ostracized from rock radio. If they had released something more along the lines of, say, "Megalomaniac" (not politically anyway), then it may have been a top 10 hit. As for "Love Song", it was a new take on a classic Cure song by an established alternative act, which was why that did so well. At least in my opinion, anyway.

I think that "Are You In" was going to be the fourth single from Morning View but then it got canceled.
That was charting at Alternative while Active Rock handled "Circles".
I guess that people connected with "Love Song" much more easily than "Set Me Free" or "Make a Move". Not that I'm one of those pepole...

I don't know that soundtrack songs do especially poorly, since they seem to at least get heard, but I do think that soundtrack songs aren't pushed nearly as hard as album cuts. An exception is Bring Me To Life by Evanescence, but then again, Fallen came out not too long afterward, so that explains that. Won't Back Down was at least half a year before Natural Selection, and Set Me Free half a year before Contraband. Same thing with Make A Move. It's going to at least be half a year until the next Incubus album. Of course there are exceptions and I can only speculate on the issue, but I just think that's how these things work.

I'm sure that at least a part of this songs failure is the fact that it's from a movie that has turned out to be a HUGE flop with negative reviews.

They should've released "Admiration".

Yeah, having hits from soundtracks only really works when the movie is also a hit. "Won't Back Down" was from a movie which was a critical bomb. It may have also been "too different" for the band.

Velvet Revolver's "Come On,Come In" didn't do too well even through "Fantastic Four" was a hit.
