No add dates from Billboard yet. But it's obviously the lead single from the new album as it's already in the top 60 on harder stations. Nice, predictable song. Good to hear them back in my opinion.

This became available on iTunes on February 10th, and it is probably getting airplay solely because it is the first new Powerman 5000 song in three years. No word on what the real first single is yet, but when there's an update, I'll be sure to make a thread on it.

In fairness to Artie, it's in the top 50 at active rock dude. Official rules state that any song in the top 50 of any of the three rock formats is fair game for a thread. Not that Artie knew he was following the rules, but this time he's got a winnder.

They signed to DRT and released an album called Destroy What You Enjoy. It was decent. A bit more going in the direction of Transform. They released an EP a little before that of some b-sides called the Korea EP (cause it was only released in Korea) and I actually like those songs better than what made the Destroy album, but whatev. They're not on DRT anymore and this album is supposed to be going back to the Mega Kung Fu, Stars Revolt, and Doomsday style. |

Considering it become available at retail and 17 stations have added it all within the past couple of weeks, it's pretty obvious it's a fair topic. Now that it's #45 on Mainstream / Active, it's a lock. But if Willfutureblameus wants the second single started, go for it.

Apparently the lone single was "Wild World" and I'm sure there was a "Hot Cat Stevens remake" joke made about it at the time, however, I never happened to hear the song. I guess that's why I'd already forgotten. |
