KROQ-FM drops heaps of spins - why? Every song on the station has had drops significantly since last week, because of the Fourth Of July, some type of holiday week special. A few other stations has done the same so for the fact that this bullet is so large still, this song is really in great shape. |

Billboard.biz: Silverchair makes its first appearance on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart in eight years as "Straight Lines" enters at No. 35. The Australian trio last charted in June 1999 with the No. 12 hit "Ana's Song (Open Fire)." The biggest of its seven chart appearances was its debut single "Tomorrow," which spent three weeks at No. 1 in 1995. The band's new album, "Young Modern," will be released July 24 on indie label Eleven: A Music Company through Warner's Alternative Distribution Alliance. The band played "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" last night and will visit "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" tomorrow (July 12).

I have never been a huge Silverchair fan (granted, I've only heard a handful of their songs) but I'm really into this single. Hopefully this album will bring them back a decent Stateside audience.

I'd love for them to prove it to me that their songwriting grew by leaps and bounds. Proven. I felt Daniel's vocal melodies and the feel of the song were reminiscent of Coldplay. Now, time will tell if I can actually grow to enjoy this song, as the first listen was merely lukewarm. It's great for Silverchair, though. And it looks like most of you have known this for a while, but I saw an ad for the album just the other day and Daniel looks like a mustachioed Thom Yorke (with a black eye), whose hairy chest is evident from the designer vest he's wearing shirtless. ??? And those are still the same bassist and drummer as before, right? |

Yeah, Daniel Johns looks very strange, as well as when I saw him perform on some late night show a couple of weeks ago, he almost looks 128bit if that makes any sense.
Regardless, I hope this keeps up because I definitely would say it's one of the better tracks released on any format this year.
Has this song been released to Europe yet? Sounds like UK would really enjoy this one.

After a few listens, I'm really enjoying this. I love the Coldplayesque piano riffs in the intro.

Oh, you're getting tired of it? I've only heard it once so far, when reception posted the streaming link. So I could stand to hear it plenty more still. ... |

This has been all over australian radio for almost half a year, so I can understand how it might become annoying for s.o. over there.
Back to what adz probably meant , I don't think it's really stalling , just slowing down a bit, it has been gaining at a furious pace for a couple of weeks now and it's calming down a little due to some big stations (Chicago, Boston, LA) decreasing spins.
That's nothing unusual for songs blowing up that fast. It's still only in its 5th or 6th week on the chart , and not all stations have added it yet.
It should end this week at #21 and then go top20 the next. I still hope this eventually goes top10.

Amazing.
