But I wonder how they'll go about singing their explicit lyrics there. I'd forgotten they even had explicit lyrics until you said something. Am I forgetting something besides the one f-bomb in "Le Disko"? That's all that came to mind for me as well, but I thought of it immediately since it's one of their biggest songs.

Current and probably final peak for this one: #28 on Modern Rock. I don't know what happened but this appeared on iTunes top 100 from nowhere and same with "I'm Not Over". Maybe they peformed those songs at some Tv show. Current positions at iTunes: 51. Show Me What I'm Looking For - Carolina Liar 92. I'm Not Over - Carolina Liar I saw "Show Me What I'm Looking For" in the upper 40's about two days ago. At the same time, "I'm Not Over" was in the 70's. This may result in a Hot 100 debut for "Show Me What I'm Looking For". This hit the Hot 100 that week. Charted at #91. :) "I'm Not Over" charted on Bubbling at #20, but it's peak remains at #19 there. It reached that position during its single run on radio. It's so strange to see that "Show Me What I'm Looking For" peaked higher than "I'm Not Over" on the USA most important chart, when it didn't get half of the attention that that one got.

That's why the Hot 100 is meaningless to me. All the little CHR/Pop fans get on my nerves saying stuff like: "The top 40 airplay chart doesn't matter, just the Hot 100." It's their little way of justifying their favorite pop star not reaching number one on airplay, but instead on a namesake. I never even look at the Hot 100 anymore.

Yeah, the Mariah Carey fans are notorious for that, 'cause they're all unanimously counting ridiculous songs like "My All" and "Heartbreaker" as #1 hits, and I'm thinking "wait a minute, those songs didn't even come close to #1", but they were #1's on the hot 100, because they were released as CD singles, which gave the songs a competitive advantage over 95% of the rest of the songs on the chart.
Mariah Carey fans are actually the origin of Billboard's meaninglessness to me, I kid you not.

Mariah Carey fans are actually the origin of Billboard's meaninglessness to me, I kid you not. It became meaningless to me circa '97, when rock bands stopped releasing singles and therefore, before they added in popular airplay entries as "album cuts" , many huge songs didn't even chart. As I recall, No Doubt's "Don't Speak" either didn't chart or came nowhere near #1.

Remember the Hot 100 has nothing to do with the BB Rock charts. I think the Hot 100 AKA the Rap 100 is a piece of shit, its biased and is too predictable. The rock charts are at least airplay based

Yeah, "Don't Speak" was a well-running #1 on the Airplay chart and had nothing on the charts. Some stats look condescending due to the fact that they waited to allow CD-singles songs to chart until December, 1998. As much as I like Depeche Mode it seems off that "Home" (w/ "Useless) charted as a third single yet the previous album didn't even have a charting third single. I wonder if that one even charted on Alt. But commercial singles are and always have been a bigger thing at the rest of the world; the U.S. usually has had less to do with that. I have to say I agree with the move to include digital downloads as a part because that should reflect the popularity of a song. Even if it's a mess for things like those songs on Linkin Park's last album that charted before becoming a single and/or not being a single.
