The Rasmus - The "Dead Letters" Era

[allow that]

I heard this whole album through now and I was REALLY impressed. I think I'm sold on it... I almost bought the album in Italy where I was hooked on "In the Shadows" and ended up liking the follow-up there as well, but I didn't. Oh well, it's cheaper here anyway...

Just wondering, I know of 4 singles from the album and I'm a little confused as to what was released where. I'm pretty sure it's like this..

EUROPE (but not UK)):
In the Shadows
First Day of My Life
In My Life

CANADA & UK:
In the Shadows
Guilty

USA:
In the Shadows

Is this right? And is there a 4th single coming in Europe or a 3rd everywhere else

[allow that]

Also, does anyone know how their singles did on the Eurochart 100 and/or any specific countries? All I know id how "ITS" peaked at #7 on the Eurochart but with unbelieveable longevity.

In the UK, "In The Shadows" hit #3 and "Guilty" hit #15.

"In My Life" was only released in Scandinavia. It was out here at the same time as "In The Shadows" took off in Germany. (Ie. May 2003)

You sure it wasn't released anywhere else after "First Day of My Life"? I know MTV Italy was playing this video over the summer.

So then was there another Euro single after "FDOML"? In other words, was "Guilty" promoted in Europe outside of the UK?

I think "Guilty" has been promoted in Spain and Italy.
At least it got some airplay there.

The follow-up to "First Day Of My Life" was "Funeral Song".

"In The Shadows" was incredibly annoying but I find myself drawn to "First Day Of My Life".

They should've made "FDOML"the first single in the US at Alt only to establish them as a rock band. I love "In the Shadows" but its a Pop song, and it got them far in Europe but in the US its a different ballgame. I think if Alt picked them up, then "ITS" could've worked as a HAC/Pop crossover single here later down the road.

Beauregard, are you sure "Guilty" was promoted in Italy? I never saw it mentioned anywhere in the Italian charts when I followed but I know for sure MTV Italy was playing "In My Life" this summer.

I know that it was in the Italian and Spanish airplay charts in August.

Alright... what Italian airplay chart do you use? The only one I know of is this: www.mp3compilation.com/2004/classifiche.php?classifica=6&periodo=0

IS there another one too? PLease share if you know!
