Mediabase lists it as being #1 (see "peak" at the left part), therefore I trust it. Sorry to steal thunder there.

So it's official: we are temporarily going from burger-and-fries to meat-and-potatoes. Well, at least it's not like we're going from horse to donkey.

I wish Billboard would just buy out Mediabase, then combine Rock/Active/Alternative formats to make the Billboard Hot Rock Tracks chart :(

And I just wish the Alternative format would go back to the days when its name was justified. :(

They sure are the "breakthrough" rock band, but rock album of the year?

I'm starting to get into "Only By The Night"...
Really good and consistent album! Some songs really make me remember of "Queens Of The Stone Age" It totally deserves the grammy nomination for best rock album!

And I just wish the Alternative format would go back to the days when its name was justified. :( What? I think alternative is exactly what this format is these days. Thankfully most of the songs on this chart really aren't charting anywhere else. I don't know how it lives up to it anymore than that.

This is song is so good. I f**king love it. How can everybody here hate it so much?! I think the response here is pretty much divided. But I think now people are getting tired of it. I'm not tired of it because I never really liked it in the first place . But it's not terrible I guess.

LOL how can people say this is the worst #1 in a long time when we've had some horrible #1's this year like "Believe" and "Fake It." This is actually one of the best Alt #1's in awhile.

Agreed, Fake It was a great song, and although Believe is a weak #1, its still a decent song, Sex On Fire is really disappointing though

I love that this epic song continues to smash it up! I want it on the pop charts too. I want it everywhere. Lil Wayne should do a remix and make it smash on Urban too!

Fake It was a damn good #1! (one of my favorite songs of 2007) Believe was weak for #1, but it isn't a bad song...This one sounds like a top 10 song at best...Ugh, hope it gets kicked of #1 soon...The album works good as a whole though...
I think the battle for next #1 will be between Love Hurts and Second Chance...

I think the hate for this song is just a Pulse thing. Maybe it has something to do with me living in the UK, but practically everyone I know loves this song. One of the biggest anthems of the year.
