Top 50 on Alternative without an adds date:
54 47 KILLERS Spaceman 210 142 68 0.761
Better than Human, imo. The album was an huge disappointment to me and the only songs I liked a lot were Human and this one. "Human" couldn't do better than #6 on Modern Rock so top 20 would be a good result for this.

I wouldn't mind at all if this was the second single.

Couldn't have been a more obvious single choice for the album. It's my favorite song from Day & Age, although I'm still familiarizing that one. But I don't think I'll like the others as much.

I'm predicting a definitive descent from their usual high profile mainstream attention, starting now.

Wonder if there's any other songs that made a 40-29 jump?
Wild International comes to mind....

Question though, if this chart even official. Because last week's chart was dated December 27th, 08 and this one is dated December 26th, 08 making no sense

Well Billboard still counts those two "holiday" weeks unlike most other places.

They are really huge in UK!
Day & Age sold 200k in its first week there, even more than the 190.000 copies sold in US in its first week...
Also, Sams Town first week sales in UK were over 260k.
To be fair, it's really strange that The Killers are an american band considering their sound.

"Bones" is the only Killers single I like less than this.

This has already gotten higher than I was expecting. Good. I hope it continues and proves me wrong.

"Bones" is the only Killers single I like less than this. Said perfectly. I mean, "Spaceman" is decent and all ( B- on my report card), but... wait for it.... Wait for it.......1. Mr. Brightside A2. Somebody Told Me 3. Smile Like You Mean It A-4. All These Things That I've Done 5. Shadowplay 6. Read My Mind B+7. When You Were Young 8. Human ... 9. Spaceman B-... 10. Bones CDon't remember: Tranquilize; For Reasons Unknown Two studio albums and one compilation album later, nothing tops any of their Hot Fuss singles (and Jenny Was a Friend of Mine would be #3 on the above list were I including album cuts). If you'd told me that before "WYWY" came out, I'd have thought you were joking.

^Looks like you forgot "RMM."
Liked it instantly more than "Human." For me it's equally as catchy as "Mr. Brightside."
But then again I wasn't really huge on "Smile Like You Mean It," (pleasant but not special) and I'd probably rank "Bones" last like the others. But if you count there's at least three songs I'd prefer it to although it would miss that I also like it more than "Reasons." The other singles are harder for me to rank.

^Where might you rank "Read My Mind"? It was different and all, but after a few listens I really started to enjoy it.

Maybe it's time for an update, even if it didn't seem like long ago...:
01. All These Things That I've Done: A+ 02. Shadowplay: A 03. Somebody Told Me 04. Tranquilize: A- 05. Mr. Brightside 06. Spaceman* 07. When You Were Young 08. Read My Mind 09. Human 10. For Reasons Unknown: B+ 11. Smile Like You Mean It: B 12. Bones: C+
"Jenny" would have been at like 3 or 4 if it were a single and "Bling" would be on the upper part had it been released as a single.

I really like this one right now, but the Killers have a history of burning out on me really fast. So we'll see.

Ranking them again, eh?
Somebody Told Me A Read My Mind All These Things That I've Done Spaceman For Reasons Unknown Bones Mr. Brightside A- When You Were Young Human Shadowplay Tranquilize B+ Smile Like You Mean It B
Not that anybody is going to read this post again, but I felt compelled to edit this now that "Spaceman" has had growth time and after seeing them live, which has raised my opinion of "Human" and "For Reasons Unknown." Claim your eagle-eye badge if you actually notice.
