No official date yet, but with 19 new stations added and a +49 over the last date, this looks like the follow up to Breakdown.
I've heard it several times over the past few months. I assume they're going to tack it onto a soundtrack or a part II release of the latest album. Nothing special of a song for me.

And I'm assuming this is a hot Wham! remake?

And I'm assuming this is a hot Wham! remake? Yes, it really is. And this isn't a followup single, it's not even on the album. They were just screwing around and they decided to record it and release it to digital music retailers.

And sent to radio. Considering nothing else is charting besides Breakdown, this looks like it's up next. Video soon?

No it hasn't, and no it's not. This is the "Remember Tomorrow" thing all over again, isn't it? Sometimes, stations do play songs that aren't singles, because they're interesting. Seeing as how Seether recorded this for Valentine's Day, it's going to get a little bit of airplay from stations who want to share it with people. But it has no add date, Seether has not talked about it being a single, so there is no reason to say, OH YAY! NEW SINGLE! The problem with you Art is that you blow your load too early.

I'm always right on time thanks! But if 20 stations add it within three weeks, it looks like a winner.

The problem with you Art is that you blow your load too early. Like one of those Lonely Island guys. Anyway, my respect for Seether has rebounded a little bit due to this song. Just the fact that it's such a left-field choice for them to cover and that their fanbase would largely consider "Careless Whisper" too much of a sissy pop song, originally sung by a homosexual, no less. And not a "cool" hard rock homosexual like Rob Halford, or even a "cool" flamboyant homosexual like Freddie Mercury. So hats off to Seether, here. It sounds great, too. I hope it gets enough curiosity airplay that it becomes the next single.

This is pretty sweet. There've been quite a few good covers out recently. Hmm, that gives me an idea...

I'd have rather not seen that. Not because of the joking homoerotic gestures between Ben and Shaun, mind you, but because Breaking Benjamin (and Shaun Morgan, for that matter) were covering the Deftones. (And their biggest hit song, no less.)

As this entered the top 50 on mediabase Active rock, this thread is now legal by pulse music's thread-making rules. Artie must be prescient or something...he's always right on after all.

But some of don't need a magazine to tell us what the obvious next single is. Some do.......

AllAccess actually marked this as a single like a week ago, but I didn't want to say anything in the hopes it would just go away.

I gotta give Seether props on this one. They made this song their own so well.
This is better than their last two singles.
