Surprise! #1 on Modern Rock. :o You mean Mainstream Rock, right? Alternative charts still have it as #3.

I think he means what he said. Otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise, right? I'm not that surprised actually because billboard/R&R tend to be active leaning, and at every occasion in which mediabase had "Love Hurts" 100 spins over "Second Chance," R&R had them neck and neck. I think Incubus will still get there though.

Where is this magical chart?

So who knows, maybe it'll be #1, maybe it won't. Yeah, but I'm almost sure Hitpredictor.com wouldn't fail with a #1... If this is really #1, I'm glad! I just hope Incubus can also get there... In other news, "Second Chance" reached a new peak on Hot 100 last week: #59. I believe it will reach at least top 40. Just wait for it to explode in CHR and then in digital sales. :)

Nielsen posted this as tied with Love Hurts on Sunday. It earned the tiebreaker because of a larger bullet. It has now reached the top of three of the four Billboard rock surveys. Surprise indeed.

Damn, I wanted LH to be #1 on the Modern Rock chart, and then this could follow it. Now this will probably block LH for good from #1 on the chart. :(

I doubt that. I prefer Second Chance big time over LH, SC is IMO the best #1 on Mod Rock since The Pretender, but I think this will be a one-week stand at #1, and LH will take over for a few weeks.

Yeah, the smart stations. I wouldnt call the Honolulu "Alternative" station smart That may as well be a frigin AC station Both Mediabase and Billboard/R&R count that station as Alternative/Modern Rock. The major difference between the two panels is that Mediabase counts most borderline stations as active rock, while Billboard/R&R counts them as alternative. Examples include WJRR/Orlando and WHRL/Albany. There may be others as well.

and in order for that to be the case, they have to count the ones that are way too AAA, or way too Hot AC and play all the random low spin pop songs you see. Keeping those stations out has to help maintain credibility in the title "Modern Rock"

That was a little too predictable I guess. Mine is the Mercedes.

That must be in your head, because I'm not sure what that means. I've never had an enemy in my life.
I was only saying if you can't trust Billboard and Nielsen, then what's the point in even following any data?

That sounded like it came from a Jim Gaffigan routine, where he loudly whispers in a falsetto, beating the crowd to their own potential reactions to his jokes.

The truth is a subscription to Billboard! It is out there somewhere.
