I hope Panic Switch doesn't overtake this. I want a really long #1 run for this one, especially since they got jipped on #1's with MTM . BIO, GU, and LOATR should have been sure shot #1's on Alt, LOATR's peak there still shocks me. It's spelled gypped. And I disagree about the lack of MTM #1's. I will agree with you about "Leave Out All the Rest," though. Also "Shadow of the Day" should've done bigger business, especially since my Alternative station barely touched either of those. But I think anytime "Panic Switch" wants to overthrow "New Divide" is just fine.

I do agree that Linkin Park shoulda got a few more #1s last album, probably BIO and SOTD, but remember that there were two epic Foo Fighters singles that blocked them, and IMO The Pretender > Bleed It Out, and Long Road To Ruin > Shadow Of The Day. Not everyone will agree, but the general majority of Alternative radio does, and the audiences of the songs at the times would as well. I remember going over this when both situations happened because everyone was like WTF Linkin Park not being #1???? ZOMG but the Foos single's were more popular amongst alternative listeners

^Plus I'm sure the bad rep LP got from a lot of their fans because of the sound change of MTM hurt them quite a bit last era.

The Pretender > BIO LRtR < SotD LID < Given Up All of the Above Except The Pretender < LOAtR Agree with all this. "The Pretender" and "Leave Out All The Rest" are both really good. I guess I did really like "Let It Die" too though.

All these abbreviations are making my head hurt. I'd rank them as follows:
1. The Pretender 2. Bleed It Out 3. Let It Die 4. Long Road to Ruin 5. Leave Out All the Rest 6. Shadow of the Day 7. Given Up

Matt, really good ranking, though I'd put Let It Die above Bleed It Out; Foo Fighters knocked it out of the park with The Pretender and Let It Die (and you know how much I love Linkin Park; if only they'd released No More Sorrow, things might have been different...)

^Yeah if NMS wasn't at least an Active #1, I don't know what is.

I'd put "Leave Out All the Rest" before "Let It Die," behind "Given Up" and at like an 87 degree angle to "Bleed it Out." And then I'd make them all green. And while we're at it I'd like to put in whatever The Eagles of Death Metal are promoting at number 3.7, and throw in a :o smiley just for fun.

^ At first I thought you had written a thick, too-long-to-read paragraph that merely added to the unreadable banter of rankings and acronyms that this page had quickly devolved into. But that was well done. Kudos.

Yeah, it's hard to "agree" with a list when you change around the order of like 5 of the 7 songs. Then again, I wasn't really looking for validation anyway. ;)

After Phobia's gem, I now feel self-conscious, but I'll just rank them without comparing them to other people's rankings. And I'll throw some grades on there too for good measure.
1. The Pretender A 2. Let It Die A 3. Leave Out All The Rest A- 4. Given Up B 5. Long Road To Ruin C+ 6. Shadow Of The Day C 7. Bleed It Out D+

This is the first Linkin Park song that I've truly liked since 2003. When Meteora came out, I was a little disappointed, but I felt I had to force myself to like it because I had been a huge fan of Hybrid Theory. I didn't even try with MTM. This isn't anything special, but I've been able to get into it for some reason. I'm sure that it will burn out pretty quickly though.

Looks like there's a slight chance the Silversun Pickups could make this a midweek-only #1, which would be ironic considering Linkin Park has been the cause of two of those ("Bring Me to Life" and "Just Because") in the past. 2 1 LINKIN PARK New Divide 1938 1856 82 9.324 3 2 SILVERSUN PICKUPS Panic Switch 1902 1780 122 9.630 ...or maybe they'll just do their usual thing and deny another (superior) song #1 at the last second. Although the gap did close by 27 spins over the last week.

This isn't budging from #1 on Alt for at least another 4-6 weeks or so. Unless there's a big band getting ready to release something that I'm not aware of.

I still say don't be surprised to see Pearl Jam knocking at #1's door in about two to three weeks.
