Video is probably one of the most unique videos I have ever seen, and yes, this is better than Human. I really think this could end up being a big sleeper hit, why not?

^It's not. The song's already moving up healthily (Top 20) and I wouldn't even be surprised if it reaches the Top 10. If the song was still in the 30's you'd ahve a point.

I think this has MB potential at pop, and I think it will hit top 3 at Alt.

Hope this gets far.

I'd be pleased if I were the band tracking the single's progress right now, especially when comparing the performance of this single to that of their previous second single "Bones".
Even while the sales of "Day & Age" are paling here compared to the United Kingdom, their worldwide popularity could only encourage their label not to diminish promotion for the album here so soon.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I think this song might really explode, it is now at +164, looks like it could eventually be #1 after U2. This is going to be one of the bigger hits this year, it took a while to grow on me, but I love this song. I expect U2 to drop off this chart within a month, that song is horrendous.

Yeah, this song revived my interest in The Killers again. Now I might have to check out the album.

^Great! I don't think #1 on Alt is out of the question for this. It's got the biggest bullet on all of Alt radio right now, so things are goin good.

BTW, if anyone has Rock Band 2, and wants a really fun track on drums, download this.

^Great! I don't think #1 on Alt is out of the question for this. It's got the biggest bullet on all of Alt radio right now, so things are goin good. #1 is all but certainly out of the question now, unless this single is to have incredible longevity. Green Day are set to release their hugely-anticipated follow-up to "American Idiot" in May, which means a single will likely drop in March, and that means massive chart debut that will leapfrog "Spaceman". In addition, 311 is releasing a new album soon, and will likely chart strongly with the lead single, and it's rumored the Foo Fighters are releasing a Greatest Hits compilation soon with four new songs, and one of them is likely to serve as the lead single if the rumors are true and also leapfrog this track.

Not necessarily. Just look at "Fortune Faded," "All in the Suit That You Wear," or "First Straw."

Yeah, actually I can't think of a single song from a Greatest Hits that did exceptional. Now that I've said that, I'm sure someone will find one.

"You Know You're Right" is what comes to mind, if that counts. I guess it does, although I think that was a uniquely special case since that had been the first new Nirvana single in years, whereas other examples were usually stopgap releases.

"You Know You're Right" is what comes to mind, if that counts. U2 - "The Sweetest Thing (Single Mix)" is one, and that's from an artist who wasn't off the charts for substantially long. That was ten plus years ago, though. But then again, U218 had a second charting single (that entered the Top 30 no less) which wouldn't have happened with most artists.

This is as good or better than every release they've had since "Somebody Told Me", which is surprising, because there had been a noticeable decline for them. Especially with "Human".

While "Sam's Town" was a precipitous decline for them in my opinion (aside from the classic "Read My Mind") "All These Things That I've Done" followed "Somebody Told Me", which I consider their finest single to date, and I actually loved "Human".

Not necessarily. Just look at "Fortune Faded," "All in the Suit That You Wear," or "First Straw." The difference here, however, is that staple artists on the Alternative format have much more of a stranglehold on the upper echelons of the chart than in previous years. While, say, positions fifteen through twenty-five are more competitive than ever, I've never seen an Alternative chart before as LEAST competitive as this when it comes to competing for most of the top ten, where often between 300 and 550 spins separate the #4 or #5 single from the #5 or $6 single each week, while down beneath the Top Ten there's so many singles competing for various spots more fiercely. Staple artists have more of a stranglehold than ever before, I sense, on the upper reaches of the chart. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Sincerely, Noah Eaton Well, one thing about The Killers that you're reinforcing here: it seems like every one of their singles is somebody's favorite, and that's a pretty strong asset of theirs. On that note, the fact that everybody is saying each individual track on U2's new "No Line On The Horizon" is either one of the stronger or weaker tracks is certainly a good place to be, even if it also suggests it's clearly not their all-time best. Even with "Achtung Baby", almost everyone I've talked to thinks "So Cruel" is the lowest point on the album (occasionally the answer is "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World". On "The Joshua Tree", I often hear "Bullet The Blue Sky" is the low point almost unanimously. But with "No Line On The Horizon", while I've heard "Stand Up Comedy" referenced as the low point more times than the other tracks, it's not with unanimity either, as some LOVE that track but dislike even "Breathe" and "White As Snow".

I adored Sam's Town and still think it was their best album to date. Yes, I may be considered a crazy I know it was not as radio friendly though. But, it made me respect them as an actual band and not just a "lets throw together catchy poppy tunes and capitalize on the whole cute band with eyeliner trend!" type band. It kills me that people missed the brilliance of that cd, but maybe I am the only one who can really hear it

If they would release This Is Your Life, then (in radio terms) I might get into this album. Otherwise, personally I'm not a major fan of either of the first two singles. They are just okay. The other albums have been much better out of the gate in singles terms for me.

This is an Alt #1, just gotta wait now. Personally, this is my favorite single of theirs since All These Things That I've Done, and I liked Human a lot too, so for me they've actually had some of their strongest out of the gate singles from this album.

It's kinda ridiculous that in the LA market, on KYSR 98.7 this song is still their #1 most played this week (53 spins) and has been in their Top 5 most spins every single week since early 2009.
Meanwhile, competitor LA station KROQ 106.7 dropped this song by mid-2009, yet all of a sudden brought this song back last month into regular rotation again. This week it is getting more spins on KROQ than such songs as Phoenix - Lisztomania and Muse - Neutron Star Collision.
Are other markets still playing this song? Wasn't this song a flop compared to other Killers songs in most markets? Is there some kind of reason why this song is being hammered to death in LA still in mid-2010?
