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". Actually, the fact that that line reminds me so much of "Even in madness I know you still believe" in I Dare You bothers me more.

#2 on Mainstream Rock. Will this go #1? I'm about 90% sure it will, the only thing that could stop them would be Disturbed but I think they're out of the picture now. IDC should be number one for this upcoming week but next week it'll more than likely be Shinedown. Also, the video on their website isn't the official video, they haven't even shot that one yet. I'll bet they're gonna release it when it goes for pop adds.

I've never heard Halley's comet pronounced any other way than the song does. But really, why is that even in the lyrics? Symbolism, Metaphor, etc. Whatever you wanna call it.

Wow, this is now the 5th most downloaded rock song on itunes, if you consider The Fray or O.A.R. rock artists that is. Either way, the four songs ahead of it are all CHR hits: "Gotta Be Somebody," "You Found Me," "Shattered (Turn the Car Around)," and "Addicted."

It's official!
Second Chance is Shinedown's third #1 song on Mainstream Rock...
Watch this one slowly becoming their biggest hit!
Hope it can stay there for a few weeks, though I would like to see "Indestructible" reaching #1 too...

I hope this holds the mediocre Indestructible off of #1.

How would we exactly quantify their biggest hit? Weeks at the top, or weeks charted?

How would we exactly quantify their biggest hit? Weeks at the top, or weeks charted? a mixture of both (so #1 weeks + longevity). Right now on Mainstream Rock "Save Me" finished at 38 weeks, 12 weeks at #1. "Second Chance" is now at 15 weeks, 1 week at #1. On Modern Rock "Save Me" lasted 28 weeks, peaking at #2, and "Second Chance" is at 13 weeks, so far peaking at #4. Also factor in that this is a second single, "Save Me" was a lead single. The fact that there is more competition for "Second Chance" should help it out a bit, and we'll see how well it does on CHR and Hot AC. The Billboard Corrupt (Hot) 100 should never count. So its hard to compare them especially since one's a rock single, once a crossover ballad, but with all of these mentioned above it can be done

This is definitely on track to be their biggest hit overall, imo. This has 4 way potential(Active, Alt, HAC, and CHR), we'll see if it can deliver on the HAC/CHR front.

Becoming insanely huge :)
Debuts at #75 on Airplay Hot 100! It jumps from #91 to #76 on Hot 100 this week!
On the Hot 100 it outpeaked the #88 peak of I Dare You and it's now close to the #72 peak of Save Me...

Lead guitarist Nick Perri has left the band, Zach Meyers will be playing lead guitar now. So my only question is..."Who's playing rhythm?"

They'll probably either pull up a lead guitarist from a band with less success to play rhythm or they'll just find someone new. Rhythm guitar isn't that hard to replace

Tell that to Guns N' Roses. They lost it all when Izzy left.

If this song spends over 3 weeks at #1, it will have surpassed Devour in every format they've charted in.

"I Dare You" did go up to #31 on Pop. Maybe I should've left the first part of his quote too, but it was something like: "('Second Chance' will have outpeaked 'Devour') in every format they've charted in." Anyway, Second Chance has outpeaked IDY everywhere except CHR, and it's their first song to chart on the Canadian Hot 100.

This thread is really huge for the alternative/rock section!
I'm relatively new here, but bigger than this, I guess only Linkin Park's "What I've Done"...
At least from what I saw...

If it gets to CHR, or even as it continues its #1 reign on Mainstream ROck, or even reaches #1 on Modern, there will still be plenty to discuss.

Either that, or people will continue talking about how big the topic is. (I know, I'm doing it myself. )
