Why is the label still releasing singles, when all of them flopped.

After CTS didn't perform the way they expected to and ITARTTM failed to pick up steam, I really doubt this will do anything. I'm a big fan of TBTC but I can understand when some people say it shouldn't have been the first single.

Cause they did so well on Triple A (Take Back The City hit #1, and think Crack The Shutters either hit #1 or came close...not sure) Actually nothin from their last CD did well on Alternative except Chasing Cars (while Shut Your Eyes hit #1 AAA) - don't even think Run or Chocolate did that well on Alt. either...they're def. a core-AAA band - too mellow for Alternative I guess

Run got to #15, their second biggest hit on Mod Rock. So Im guessing it probably got to #13-14 on Alt because Snow Patrol would do slightly better on alt

^Wow had no idea...think it might be that Triple A has gotten much bigger in the last few years, so Alternative has kinda backed off of Snow Patrol, esp. in big markets

Eh. This album bored me except a few songs...I don't see why they keep releasing singles either. Take Back the City, Crack the Shutters, and Engines were the only ones i liked enough to replay.

It's a shame that neither of the previous singles did anything considering they were definitely the right choices from the album IMO.

Guys their main format is AAA and they hit #1 there (I think twice) - their new singles weren't really rock so IMO they didn't stand a chance on Alt. - Augustana and Keane didn't do well on Alternative either, but really don't think they mind

I'm glad though that they're having mucho success on the lighter formats.

The single version of the song is a little different than the album version, I think it could help.
