Yeah I agree. The chart position updates would be so much more effective if they weren't already released to the public from the original source. But hey, it keeps the song discussions going in some way.

So is there a radio edit for this song or is there really a 5 minute song by relative newcomers rocketting up the charts?

I personally don't mind it when people post chart updates. Granted, it's public information, but it leaves a record of it for people who don't have access to archive charts. That way, two years from now when you're like...how well did that song do on mediabase active rock again??? Hmmm...let me check that thread. And this is a section of a forum devoted to singles and their performance on a specific format, so it's pretty relevant.

I would guess it's the Airborne Toxic Event, but I could be wrong. And I don't understand it. The song is not catchy or attention-grabbing in anyway. It's not bad...it just doesn't sound at all like a hit.

Wow, i never knew there was 2 different versions of this song. One is from the EP and one is from the actual album. I prefer the EP verison by a LOT. The vocals and the production sound a lot more polished or something.

I'm not sure it would have been as successful if radio had to play the longer version. Smart move on Mgmt's part putting the radio edit out.

EP version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7JthgTMHDUAlbum Version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWPK52Si3iII guess i hear the difference cause I've always listened to the EP verison. Then when I heard it on the radio for the first time, i was like "Hmm...this sounds kinda different." Then i found out i was the album version. I guess I'm just used to the EP version.

A similar chart path as Sex On Fire it looks like. A sneak number one in the making here.

I don't think "Sex On Fire" took nearly this long to make the top 10.

Sex On Fire was a little quicker obviously. Kids is finally losing a little steam, but I guess that's all relative.

Anything and everything else this song can do is all gravy at this point. I'm so happy this hit the top 10. Now if I could only hear it on the radio just once. I've even listened more frequently just to hear this song, basically. No dice.

That's strange but true. I heard it more on radio when it was hovering in the 40s than I do now.

That's because your stations suck.

I'm still kind of wondering who Artie works for, if only so I can properly boycott it.

Nope, never heard K.R.O.Q. I stick mostly to the satellite Modern stations, with the occasional F.M. for comparison.

It bugs me that the song below this has like 250 spins less than this and we're speaking of a range all the way up at #12 and 13. Irritatingly, "You're Gonna Go Far..." is really old by now and is bulleted (follow-up already peaked and is losing many spins), while "Wrong" suddenly is down to just gaining like 50 spins. (In Paramore's defense, Twilight's DVD release has been really big.)
