Third single from Full Circle goes for adds on August 19th. Kind of odd that FMQB is saying this single is coming from Wind-Up, but that must just be a bit of a goof on their part. I get why this song is third, since it's their ballad-type song, but I'd rather they went with the title track or better yet, "Reborn" or "Reason I'm Alive". But then they went with "Soldiers" as the first single and I thought that was a mistake too, and it turned out well, so what do I know.

I don't recall "Soldiers" doing so well. Did it even make top 20?
I'm glad "Enemy" did though. I don't mind that one.

Wikipedia says it peaked at 20, which I think is decent for a band who at the time were introducing their third vocalist, on a new label, and had gone somewhat out of the spotlight. |

Yeah, but it's not as good as Tantric. ;)

Yeah "Down And Out" is totally ripping it up now. It's awesome.

I know I'm in the minority, but my this is my favorite Drowning Pool era. I feel that the band just keeps getting better with every album, and Ryan McCombs is a huge bonus. It's good to see them still having some success as more and more people come to the realization that it's not 2001 anymore.
...currently #28 on active rock

23 20 DROWNING POOL 37 Stitches 677 623 54 1.902
This has finally reached the top 20 on active. In fact, all three singles from Full Circle went top 20. That's surprising considering that they've gone pretty much unnoticed with this album...at least it seems.

Who do these guys have singing for them, again? Aren't they on their third guy?

Remember their founding one Dave Wiliiams died of a heart attack back in 2002. Jason Jones was their second vocalist, and was on the second album. but left the band for personal reasons. |

Personal reasons, i.e., he was a dick.

How is this song doing so well? According to this thread, it broke the top 20 more than 10 weeks ago on active rock, and now it is still in the top 20 with a bullet, moving ever so slowly towards the top 10. It's not a bad song, but I'm having trouble understanding what makes this song a success at radio while "The Past" by Sevendust which sounds way more radio friendly couldn't break the top 20 or last half as long at active rock radio. I understand that Eleven Seven is a good label, but I didn't know that they could work miracles. Any hard rock band should do anything in their power to get on that label.

Actually, to be realistic, "The Past" never sounded that radio friendly to me. I only supported it being pushed to radio because of the association with Daughtry. However, I am also surprised this song is continuing to do so well. Now if only Trapt could work the same magic.

This song has been playing forever, it's time to give it up already. Drowning Pool needs to put out a new album or something. I mean, I'm glad that it's doing well, but enough is enough. |

I would've been so happy if this had reached the top 10 four months ago. Now I'm really tired of it. I can't believe that the first single went for adds almost 2 years ago and single #3 is still climbing the chart. This is not Three Days Grace -- this is Drowning Pool!

I don't know anyone who knows this song. I feel like its chart performance isn't remotely related to its popularity or lack thereof. I gotta hand it to Eleven Seven for making sure rock radio listeners hear their artists, but this song's performance doesn't make sense. "Contagious" by Trapt (which I don't really like) at least sounds like a huge hit.

Well we have an active rock station that's fairly popular in my area. Killswitch Engage, Tool, and Porcupine Tree are the most popular bands from the high school I went to. And the fact that no one listens to Drowning Pool is all the more reason why I don't understand this song's chart success. The fact that it's not even top 50 at alternative though I think establishes the point that very few people care about this song.

But seriously, obviously this is something that is just limited to your neck of the woods, isn't it? I mean, right when you said Porcupine Tree was a popular band in your area, I just assumed it was, you know, your area. And besides, "37 Stitches" wasn't even pushed to alternative, was it? I mean, isn't that the clear-cut difference between Active and Alternative? I don't think there's any real mystery here. |

It's about quantity, not quality. That's why the Jonas Brothers are so successful. Unless you happen to care about them too.

Oh that was more in jest. I'm just saying the fact that you're special and care about Drowning Pool doesn't matter much against the millions of lay people listening to the Jonas Brothers.

Yes, I suppose so. But at least I'm still getting a new Drowning Pool album, so I guess that means I win.
