Is sounding good. "You Don't Belong" = top 5 - Active.

"You Don't Belong" = top 5 - Active. no, remember "No Surprise" is a song similar to the style of "It's Not Over" and it shoulda at least gone top 20 on Active, instead it flopped completely, their days of success on the rock formats are numbered, at this point Daughtry is a Hot AC band

RCA didn't send No Surprise to Rock radio at all though. And I'm kinda glad they didn't.

We've had the conversation before (probably earlier in this thread), and discussed the whole minor vs. major thing. INO is a darker sounding song, so I think it was more accessible to rock radio. I just wish they would've went with the same idea as they did with the first album and release "You Don't Belong" or something similar. But, as previously stated, nothing from Daughtry is ever gonna perform well at rock radio unless the label makes some sort of a push. I was thinking about this the other day: as much as I love them, I think it's kinda sad Lifehouse's first single was heavier than the first singles from Nickelback and Daughtry. It was still a happy-sounding song, but it was a great rock song. And even more intriguing is that The Fray can have multiple songs charting on Alternative. I don't see how the label can go without releasing "You Don't Belong" or "Ghost of Me" at some point. Oh, and I watch ESPN a ton. In fact, I don't think I really use my remote anymore since the TV is always on that channel. I will definitely be listening for Daughtry, I got really sick of all the vintage Green Day they've been playing over the last few months, with "Know Your Enemy" thrown in every now and then only making it worse.

"No Suprise" is more like "What About Now". Also, how did it flop completely without getting released? And actually their days on the rock formats are just beginning.

Wow, you guys weren't kidding about "You Don't Belong" were you. That sounds like a huge active rock hit if people are willing to give Daughtry another chance at rock radio. I'm still waiting to see if anything on the album has the ability to do well at both pop and rock like INO off their debut...I'm only one track into the preview so far.
EDIT: Now that I'm all the way through, "Life After You," "September," and "Learn My Lesson" sound like the songs they've been releasing as big hits at Hot AC off the last album. Phobia is right that "Ghost Of Me" is the only other song that really fits in well at rock radio. The only other song I can come up with as a possible multi-format hit is "Supernatural" but I don't think it'd be as big anywhere.
With all that said, I think the two closing tracks are the two winners for me. "Tennessee Line" has a really authentic feel that makes it an intriguing cut. As for "Call Your Name," I think it's the best song so far of his career. The falsetto vocals are incredible, the second half is epic and just everything about the song is perfect. Probably not a hit though, but if it were released, it's the type of song that could make people see Daughtry as something more than a hit machine, which is what separates the legendary bands from the big bands. This is the only song they've written so far that could propel them into the former category.

It would be fantastic if they send You Don't Belong to rock radio. The question is if Rock radio will accept them again. If YDB ends up being a decent hit at least, Ghost Of Me will have no problem charting as well.

I think people forget that their WORST faring rock single was almost a top 20. I mean, and that was technically a fifth single. Even for a third single, that's not terrible at all. I don't think there's any reason why rock radio wouldn't at least give them a chance. The only problem I see is that there's only two songs so far that sound like rock hits.

^I would agree accept that often the first single off an album sets the tone for the whole album. They decided to send out a pop only single as their lead single off this album. To the alternative/rock world, that's like saying they're a pop band first and a rock band second. If "You Don't Belong" were released first or concurrently with "No Surprise" it would be different. The last album did well enough at rock, I agree. But releasing "No Surprise" first basically seals the deal that they're not a rock act, and I have a hard time envisioning them getting better treatment than Lifehouse or Matchbox 20 unless they push "You Don't Belong" in the next couple weeks and push it hard at rock radio.

Yeah, I mean look at Nickelback. Their pop songs are even poppier than Daughtry's, yet they still do quite well at the rock formats due to their dual release strategy. (Although, it doesn't hurt that their rock tracks rock a little harder than Daughtry's do, though "You Don't Belong" is up there.) I'm not quite as positive about its potential success there as some others, but I think it would have a shot at the top 20. [Edited because for some reason I typed "it's" instead of "it's. I'm convinced it was my damn iPhone. >:( )

I agree. YDB is good by itself but that's not enough. It will depend on how serious the label is in pushing Daughtry at the rock charts.

After the first listen, I like this new album more than the self-titled. It seems a bit more diverse as far as the sound. "You Don't Belong" immediately struck me as a future single that would do something on Active Rock. "September" & "Supernatural" also seemed to sick out as well. I agree about "Call Your Name." That definitely needs to be a single at some point on Alternative and maybe Hot AC.

I didn't realize that only single ever to really do well on Alternative was "It's Not Over" because I've heard all of the other singles all over the place on other formats. I really don't understand why not though. I mean his music can be comparable to bands like Nickelback or Shinedown, so just because he was on American Idol, the format ignores him almost completely?

Sounding as sharp as ever. "Ghost of Me" sounded particularly awesome. Meanwhile, they need to hurry up and release "You Don't Belong" to rock radio.

I don't care if they send another song to Pop. I just want the label to send and push YDB to Rock. The label can be dumb though so who knows...
