I remember hearing it early. But it's not even getting any token plays recently.

But it's not even getting any token plays recently. Well, you'll be in luck at the end of this week, because there'll be at least one from my station represented. No sooner did I say they hadn't played it recently than it got played like in the next day or two.

My favorite three from the album are Devour, Sound Of Madness, and Cry For Help. The rest were too weak for me. Although Sin With A Grin has a great beat, but the lyrics are way too goofy.

Shinedown does the harder songs as well as anyone, but they really shine on the songs where Brent Smith gets to show off that voice.
He has one of the best vocal instruments out there right now, and the ballads like Second Chance give him a chance to strut.
A few years ago, voices didn't matter in rock. It was all about the emotion and overall sound of the song. The great singers were in pop. It is the other way around now. Some pop stars would be lost without auto tune.
There are some spectacular singers in rock right now, and I am loving it.

This will be #5 on Billboard's Mainstream / Active rock airplay chart. It also has the biggest bullet inside the top 25. Even the fans of this song have to find it somewhat surprising it's doing this well.

not at all Artie. Theyve never missed the Mainstream Rock top 5. I Dare You and Simple Man were way softer than this, and both got top 5, so this is no surprise at all

I'm not surprised either. No. 1 still seems like a possibility.

The video is on their website. Shinedown asked their fans to tell them their stories about their "Second Chances." They also set up a phone line for people to leave voicemails, and they accepted video responses as well. The video is made up of quotes and videos from their fans. Your Second Chance Video

They just got their ninth consecutive billboard top 5 hit, as "Second Chance" moved from 7 to 4 this week.

Not only did I expect it to be the second single when I heard it live back in May, but what surprises me is that it took this long to get this far. (It also surprises me that I still don't like it as much as I thought I would on the radio, after hearing that live performance of it.)

Well to me it's pretty impressive for a middle of the road ballad. Especially when Devour continues to get high recurrent airplay. That speaks well for the roots and future of the band at radio.

this isn't a middle of the road ballad though. Facts speak louder than opinions, and the song's audience on Active shows that this is a popular tune, plus it has a shot at hitting the Hot 100.

I agree it's a factual top five hit. But the song itself doesn't stand out from any other power ballad nowadays to me.

Still glad that its not "Arties Mainstream or Modern Rock"......so it doesnt stand out to you?....it sure does to a lot of other people. The vocals are great, the message is pure and the music is fantastic but hey that's just my opinion. I love how you say "factual top five hit", like because you dont think it should be therefore this is completely wrong....the world as we know it must be coming to an end!!!

^^Well to be fair. I don't think SOF should be a number one song, but it's gonna be one. Yet at the same time I don't think YGGF,K is a 10 week number one either. I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said other than the fact that he really wants it driven into our heads. So he has an opinion, let it be. No matter how wrong it is.

I heard Sound Of Madness today. I'm guessing it's on the way.

Devour was the only song from "The Sound Of Madness" I had heard till this week. I finally gave a full listen to the album and I have to say it's the first Shinedown album I like. Nice surprise. Maybe this will alow me to get into their first 2 albums.
My favorite song is "Second Chance"! Glad it's doing so well. Love it! Would love to see this going #1 both in Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock. Peaks so far:
#3 on Mainstream Rock (new peak-reached this week) #5 on Modern Rock
This week it debuted at #98 on Hot 100! It's Shinedown's third song to hit the Hot 100.
This really needs to be released for Hot AC and CHR! Imo it has big crossover potential...

A Modern #1 would be a huge upset and unlikely. Although its legs are running out at Active & Maintstream, it still has a chance there.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed in any of the 6 previous pages, but... I can't get over the mispronunciation of "Halley's Comet" in the lyrics. Wikipedia says it's not technically a mispronunciation, but Brent probably says it that way because he thinks "Halley" is spelled with one "L".
And I'm sure you guys have heard the striking resemblance to Elton John in the vocals.

I believe we southerners typically refer to it as "hAley's," with a hyphen over the "A" in the pronunciation. Maybe that's just me.

I mean, if we go for accuracy, Wikipedia says it's "Hawley", which sounds even worse, so we're all doing it wrong.

According to a blog on their site and a press release they posted, this is (FINALLY) going for CHR adds in January.
