Yeah, really pissed that this peaked at #11 on billboard, that's so lame. Peaked at #10 on Alternative. ;) Ha, nice one. Just out of curiosity, do you keep track of song peaks yourself? Or is there actually somewhere where stuff like that is listed or something... It seems like every database only has BB peaks.

Without knowing what Nick does, I can safely say that if you go to Mediabase's 7-Day Alternative chart and look in the leftmost column, you can see it peaked at 10.

Hmm... so how do they calculate Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks?
I knew that they had been #10 on Alt for a short bit but I didn't think it counted for some reason... that's great! Though, most people wouldn't know this, and so to the general public it's a #11 peak......

To be honest, I don't think the general public really gives a crap about chart peaks, so to them it's just a song.

Greatly appreciated my friend, I was under the impression I could no longer access those charts, and I usually use the allaccess top 50 instead.

Just out of curiosity, do you keep track of song peaks yourself? I do. Along with my weekly personal chart I also type up each week's Alternative and Pop charts. To be honest, I don't think the general public really gives a crap about chart peaks, so to them it's just a song.

Ok, obviously most people in the country aren't going to care about the charts, but there are a few that will. And those people will see a #11 peak on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks. Which I still don't understand how is compiled... for some reason I thought that they just mirrored mediabase, guess I never really looked that hard to see that they are quite different.

Island Records, if they feel like it, will cherry-pick their sources and slap a sticker on Oracular Spectacular that reads "Featuring the top 10 hit "Kids"". Top 10 obviously is more eye-catching than top 11 and the people who read that sticker could care less if it's coming from the industry's #1 source for music statistics in Mediabase 24/7, or whatever Billboard's equivalent may be.

You realize this peaked at #9 on Billboard's Modern, right? That sticker would be entirely correct.

Pretty sure either Greg had incorrectly assumed "Kids" was done (and, with us not having access to/not caring about Billboard data, believing him), or maybe "Kids" was trending only slightly downward around late March (after which it regained its bullet and climbed another couple of spots). Easy to come back 3 1/2 weeks later and "prove" the info being discussed earlier is now out-of-date.

Nothing to prove. I didn't see the date he posted. But Kids certainly made the top ten.

Even on Mediabase, it re-set its peak to #8. That one's looking to be final, though, as so many songs were bulleted when it first went down.

Well #9 is official, but they were close. I wonder if Mgmt are planning a next single since Metanoia bombed on release.

I distinctly remember the song being at #11 with a bullet (and formerly in the top 10) when Greg made the comment, so it clearly wasn't done to begin with. Alas, it reached #8 and made it a moot point.

Wiki says they have a new album called 'Congratulations' out in 2009.
Will there be a 4th single from this album?

doubtful on the 4th single, but I looked into "Congratulations" and thats just the confirmed name. They've yet to write or record material for the next album. They arent starting until after their current tour

On my playlists, I'm going back to "Time to Pretend" since I criminally overlooked it last year.

I don't think I've even made a playlist without "Time To Pretend" since it came out. Damn that song was so good.

Time To Pretend was OK for me, but Kids takes it all for this album.
