According to their press release, this goes out at the end of the month.
Since buying the CD, this one seems to get most of my attention. But with Who's Going Home With You Tonight? doing so poorly on Modern and Mainstream, this may not even get a chance.

I fucking hate you for having made this topic before me. You don't deserve to have made this topic. Just one more mark against you, Ziff.

WGHWYT didn't do that badly, a bit of a disappointment but the band is declining anyways. This song though is WAY better than WGHWYT. I love it!

"Who's Going Home With You Tonight?" didn't do much worse than "Stand Up" on mainstream. It took a long time for radio to catch on though. It peaked just outside the top 10 after being on the chart for 25 weeks.
I think this will do something. Will it do as well as "Waiting"? I don't think so. Top 30 on active maybe.
I hope their next release produces a hit like "Psycho," something that will jumpstart their career.

Stand Up was #3 on Mainstream though, Id call that way bigger than WGHWYT

I knew this was going to be the single, they've been promoting it for awhile now. But once again I refrained from making the topic until I saw an adds date. I need to learn to take some initiative. Any guitar hero fans? |

Like "Who's Going Home With You Tonight," I could see this doing very well on Active Rock and not so much on Alternative.

More stations should play this, because it is a really good single from them.

This is going for alternative adds on June 22nd, and you know what, it would be a damn shame if it didn't do well, because I think Trapt is easily one of the more competent modern rock bands out there, and it's a shame that nothing post-"Headstrong" has really done all that well. "Contagious" is a really well written song and it deserves to do decently.

Didn't this song already go for adds on alternative at the same time as active?

Metal: #31 peak is not really decent for where they should be in their career.
Locke: FMQB says it did, in January. Whoops. Then it must be a readd.

I'm glad to see that they're still pushing this one a second time. It definitely deserves another chance.

These guys are amazing. Saw them live once with Red, and dang they can rock.
This is probably my favorite from the album...really close call with WGHWYT. But I think they deserve more credit than they get.

"Contagious" is a really well written song and it deserves to do decently. I do like this song, but one part of it bugs me when I hear it. And that part is the hook. By "Contagious," he really means "Infectious." A cold is contagious, an STD is contagious, but something that "runs through your veins" in the manner said here, would be infectious. And, when he says contagious, it makes it sound like the person in question really gets around (kinda like the girl in WGHWYT, I suppose). My two cents. |

Maybe so, maybe I just haven't cared to listen to the lyrics too carefully. But that stood out for some reason.

I think the song is supposed to be about a girl that is infectious but is really just using people, hence the references to "lack of conviction", "no real connection", "built on the tension and left me wanting more", "sick of restrictions", "out of addictions". It's like he's hooked on this girl but she keeps him at bay, kind of thing. A one-sided relationship. I can relate, I've been there. |

The re-release to Alternative seems to of done the trick.
57 48 TRAPT - Contagious 174 130 44 0.437
Meanwhile, it's steadily climbing on Active. Been in the top twenty for a few good weeks now.
17 19 TRAPT - Contagious 696 700 -4 2.028

Does that prove that statement to be true?

So, this peaked at #18 on Active. And is still hanging around the top 50 on Alternative. Did decently I suppose. The next single could really decide their future on radio. I think Eleven Seven should do a similar job to what they did with Drowning Pool. Releasing two upbeat rockers first, which was then followed by the far more successfull power ballad "37 Stitches".
"Black Rose" or "Ready When You Are" would best suit this formular. If they did decide to release another more anthem like single, then it would have to be either "Wasteland", "Curiosity Kills" or "Cover Up".

I think it would be likely to be "Black Rose", since that seems to be a crowd favorite at their shows.
