Well, I love the song, but I don't think it's gonna do anything on any rock chart :(

I think it's pretty solid but I can see what you guys are saying, it's more made for AC. It's probably not going to do much on rock. Then again, it might just from name power. I dunno. It depends.

I think this has a better shot on rock than most of you guys are giving it. It's no active smash, but I don't see why top 20 would be out of the question. It's more rock than Crashed, which went top 30.

Huh, just noticed that a chunk of the lyrics aren't actually in the song, haha

The fact that this is major key doesn't help it's chances at rock. The only songs he's had with legitimate rock potential have all been minor key, and I don't expect this song to change that. It's a lead single so I'll say a peak of around #20 on active rock and not much better than top 40 on alternative. Based on how "It's Not Over" did, those would be disappointing numbers.

This might not even go for rock adds and I don't think they should even bother. Just send a harder song IMO.

Not really, most active rock is minor key. Especially during the Nu-metal era, it was all minor key. Can't really sound "HEAVY" in a major key. It just sounds too happy.

I just would never think to even notice that. I guess cause everything I learned in music theory I promptly forgot on the basis that I didn't think it was all that important and it would only distract me from enjoying music in the end if I took it seriously.

this major/minor key talk is exactly right. You can't make angry rock in major key.

I'm not really even sure how you can tell, which just shows how musically inclined I am.

I have perfect pitch so even if I wanted to ignore stuff like that, I couldn't. It's actually more obvious to me what key a song is than the lyrics. After one listen through "No Surprise" I have nearly the entire chord progression down, but I can't remember a single line from the song. I'll probably catch la couple lines next time through the song.

There's some vocalist who has perfect pitch and now I can't remember who it is and it's really bugging the shit out of me.

Jeez...no wonder he ditched his surname. How could anyone go through life with a name like that? Or Dick Butkus? Or even Sue? I'm sure all the dyslexic bullies at Kyle's school called him "Dickherder."

This song is great, but I agree this is just not a Rock song. They sound like one of those 90's pop bands on this like Semisonic, Tonic, etc. I hope it doesn't totally kill cred on here, but it just might.

Tonic was a really great band. They were actually pretty rock too, falling somewhere in between AC bands like Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls and the heavier more obvious rock bands like Bush and Candlebox. Perhaps their closest peer in my mind would be Dishwalla, another band totally ignored and forgotten by alternative.
Not that this Daughtry song sounds anything like Tonic.

Album title is "LEAVE THIS TOWN" - a line from one of the songs called "September".
