and well Shinedown and Incubus are both gonna turn it around at least one more time before dying out, and Paramore's no where near done yet either, and ATE is cruising.
So that makes:
Incubus Shinedown Paramore Airborne Toxic Event Blue October Rise Against Papa Roach U2
all have better shots at hitting #1 before Use Somebody as it looks right now. Besides, I think US is gonna max out low in the top 10, its a bit too slow and soft even for alternative these days

I'm pretty sure David J replaced himself at #1 in the '90s. Wasn't he the bass player on Stop! which took over after his own solo #1 hit?
And without checking the books, I seem to remember R.E.M., Depeche Mode, and U2 all coming within one week of replacing their own songs up top.
I realize Kings Of Leon is a longshot. But they are not the cliche alt-rock band that typically eat up all of the airplay. They are the "next thing" by many and Use Somebody may take off while Sex On Fire continues to get steady spins. Use Somebody now has the fifth fastest increase on Modern.

David J has been involved in a lot more than one hit in Modern history. You might want to do your homework if you like the format. I was only assuming he was still with Jane's Addiction when Stop! replaced his solo #1. But he may have been gone by then. David J guested on that song? Didn't know that. (Then again, I'm no JA expert and am just a casual fan.) But he was a part of Love and Rockets, who weren't one-hit wonders on that format.

You might want to do your homework, if you want to assume David J ever had any significant role with Jane's Addiction. Eric Avery was always their bassist until their initial breakup. David J does not appear anywhere in the liner notes of Nothing's Shocking or Ritual de lo Habitual. As far as I can tell, his only contribution to Jane's Addiction whatsoever was a co-writing credit on the title track of their 2003 reunion album Strays. Just some quick research on your part would've cleared up so many issues.

Too early to tell. But it looks like another big hit on the way.

Yep, me asking the question was my research. I don't own any Jane's Addiction to check the notes. But I guess he wasn't around when Stop! took over. I remember hearing a DJ mention that Grohl was the second act to replace himself up top.

Ryan Peake of Nickelback covered this at their concert last night. Funny you mention that, because a few weeks back, when "Use Somebody" came on the radio, before the lyrics came in and I realized what it was, I thought the intro music reminded me of Nickelback's "Gotta Be Somebody."

Maybe the other way around since this was out months before Nickelback? There is a little likeness I guess. Although this one will blow Gotta Be Somebody out of the water on Modern and eventually the harder rock.

When does this go for adds on CHR/Pop?

If Sex On Fire didn't get a stab at CHR, I don't know why this one would.

Meh, "Sex on Fire" seems so old now. And it's still in the Top 3.
Even Shinedown has a much bigger spin loss and that one doesn't have a follow up that's already in the Top 10.
I like this one more than I did when I first stated my opinion of it. KoL are fine overall but just not a band who ever wowed me all that much.

I wasn't crazy about it the first couple times, but now I've grown to like it. In fact, my opinion of the Kings of Leon catalogue is improving in general. I think "Molly's Chambers" was just a bad introduction.

I didn't care for Molly's Chambers myself. Use Somebody should be #1 in Canada next week and maybe U.S. shortly after.

Next week's Billboard possibly lines up with this at #2 and Sex On Fire at #3. Anyone want to guess the last band who owned two of the top three airplay songs on Modern?

^Green Day, possibly?
This song looks like its set to dethrone #1 from Pearl Jam. It has a slightly bigger bullet than "Feel Good Drag," too.
