This is apparently going to the UK as the first single for the album's release over there, and the band has made a video for it. I figure it's only a matter of time before this becomes the third US single. However, "Second Chance" probably has a lot more promotion still left in it before that happens. At any rate, I'm glad this is going for adds somewhere.

There ya go lol Anyways, although I dont agree with this choice, as there are about 4 songs I woulda picked before this, it is obviously the most friendly for Active (when it gets released there), where it will pretty much undoubtedly go top 5 again, so when its all said and done once again we'll all agree on it being a terrific choice

I figure it's only a matter of time before this becomes the third US single. I thought that at first, but they posted the video on their site and then said it would only be up for a few days. It just seems like they're gonna move in a different direction for the third U.S. single. This may be the fourth single though. Like I said in the "Second Chance" thread, this reminds me of Alter Bridge's "Ties That Bind" in that I thought it would eventually be a single in the U.S., though it never was.

Maybe. I know a lot of people are suspecting "Breaking Inside". Honestly, I would have to agree, but for an Active single, I would peg this.

Breaking Inside is my 3rd favorite on the album, and if it were up to me, Id release it IF Second Chance does well on Hot AC/CHR. If it were up to me (which it isnt ) I would go with Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide, as I think thats the best overall for both Active AND Alternative. It has top 20 potential on Alternative, while SoM I would be shocked if it got past #25. Plus it would do just as well on Active as SoM would

I have to agree that Sound of Madness is an easy choice for the active/alt formats. I'm curious to know if they are actually holding back the songs that could crossover to pop to not fall into the Hinder/Nickelback backlash groups. I only wonder this because the album has been out awhile and the two songs that I see as having the real possibilities of crossing over, Breaking Inside and If You Only Knew, seem to off the single radar.
For the record, I love "If You Only Knew".

It would have been my third choice anyway.
Good to see that Second Chance is faring pretty well on pop BTW.

Well this sucks, I really wanted "Breaking Inside." "Sound of Madness" is a good choice though, perhaps they could hold off on releasing BI until "Second Chance" is done over at pop. Almost top 40.

Ha, then it's funny that "Breaking Inside" has the least votes of any of them.

I take pleasure in other people's misery. And it wasn't like that earlier. I guess it must be making a comeback. And seriously, you're not the only one who wanted it. But I didn't!

"Call Me" is my favorite of the songs, but I think "Sound Of Madness" makes the most sense as the rock single to hold their ground on that format while "Second Chance" crosses over. "Call Me" also doesn't sound like a single nowadays, maybe 6 or 7 years ago.

I honestly can't believe there are more votes for "The Crow and the Butterfly" than there are for "Breaking Inside" and "Call Me." Especially considering they were close to making CM the second single.

No, I've wanted "Breaking Inside" since the day I bought the album. They had a rate the music survey for it. Asking stuff like: "Would you like to hear this on the radio?" and "Would you expect your local station to play this?" For awhile it really looked like "Call Me" was gonna be the followup. Not wishful thinking at all; it's good, but it's definitely an album track.

That's bullshit, someone's obviously rigging it. It started out in last and now it's 1% away from tying? That's ridiculous.

When I went there, I was able to vote for a second time just now. Makes me think somebody might be voting a lot more often than that. Flawed system. Also, that fan is not necessarily doing what's in Shinedown's best interests. Oh well.

I'm sure there's a way to rig it. You're right, they must have fixed it now that "Sound of Madness" isn't winning anymore. 98 • 34% Breaking Inside 84 • 29% Sound of Madness 54 • 19% Call Me 52 • 18% The Crow and The Butterfly

Fans voting multiple times is bad for the band if they're trying to get an idea of which song is the most popular among the entirety of their audience, not just their hardcore fans who feel like voting 5 times a day for their favorite song. I'm not saying that "Breaking Inside" is the wrong choice...I'm just saying it's the wrong choice if it's only winning because somebody is voting multiple times for it.

Look at the link pen posted, there are 288 votes total among all four choices for the new single. Below that, there are 457 comments, and that's just from people registered on their site. I voted, and I'm not registered. Don't you think that, if the fans could vote more than once, there would be more votes than comments? Why would they waste their time commenting if they could give their choice a few more votes instead? Because they can't, and if they try it's not being counted again.
And yes, I disagreed because I thought you were saying that releasing "Sound of Madness" was in their best interests. Sorry, I misunderstood you.
