This is officially declining faster than "Feel Good Drag" now.

Don't, never have and never will understand why radio (or the record label or whoever is ultimately responsible) does this.

Oh hey, is that the sound of Anberlin becoming one hit wonders? I think it is.

As for if they're ever going to get a Top 10 again? That's a good question. I'd say there's a 50/50 shot at that depending on what their next album sounds like.

I think it's too early to say that. My guess is they'll be sorta like a 10 Years type band where their lead single off the next album does way better than the follow-up single to the huge breakout single. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is another example. Anyway, I think the lead single off Anberlin's next album will reach the top 20 on alternative.

So you're basically saying that Anberlin will reach the outside top 20 and their album won't go gold. Well done.

Well I might give them a bit more than that. Just because unlike the other two bands, Anberlin was a scene band before succeeding at radio. Their core fans in addition to the fans they've gained through "Feel Good Drag" might give them a bit more success as far as sales and longevity. But as far as their career at radio, that is basically what I'm saying.

Week in and week out of "It's one of my favorite songs right now" and "No, I'm not tired of hearing this song on the radio" for "Breaking" (inflated though the first statement might be) and "Like it some" to "so-so" plus "Yes, I am sick of hearing this song on the radio" for "Feel Good Drag" (deflated though the "so-so" might be) on RateTheMusic.com just wasn't enough, apparently. :( ;) LOL

The band is very popular on another format and made a crossover attempt that succeeded greatly with one single and simply cannot follow up strongly with a second one.

Obviously was more than one hit for Anberlin. I'm surprised this is so slow to catch on.

I've never heard "Obviously", but it must've been one hell of a song if it counted as more than one hit for them!

Pff, Christian's not a real format. I agree but they've never just been a "Christian" band, even though Tooth and Nail is known as a mostly Christian label. Their core fans comprise more than just those kind. They've always resisted being called a Christian band and their music is hardly Christian. I'm an athiest and I've been a fan since their early "Christian" days. :)

I know. It was a joke in reference to the post above mine.
