"Kristy" never lasted long enough for recurrent status

This wasn't a hard prediction considering my radio background. And of course how catch Kings Of Leon is to radio and listeners!

Considering no band had ever had their first three top 20 singles go to #1, it was pretty far from common sense. Throw in the opinion that Notion was pretty forgetable compared to the lead singles, and it's a small miracle they scored the threepeat. But you did read it hear first!

Foo Fighters did that threepeat too

"Notion" is the best single of the three. It was no surprise to me.

Foo Fighters first top 20 single went to #2. They, and every other Modern band, have not done what Kings Of Leon has pulled off.
EDIT : MODIFIED PEAK POSITION

It peaked at #2 on Billboard. And regardless, their next single peaked, I'll Stick Around peaked at #8. I think you're missing the point?

Correct, but those were not the Fighters' first three top 20 singles. They were very established on radio when that happened. I'm talking about Kings Of Leon scoring their first three top 20 singles all the way to the top. Never been done.

I'm breaking my silence quickly to *gasp* help explain Artie..... He's saying that Kings of Leon's first three singles to hit top 20 (not first singles overall) went to number one. Other groups FIRST three top 20 singles didn't go to number one.

Thanks, but that's exactly how it was worded the first time! I can't read for people. But thanks for dumbing it down for them.

^Why must you be such a dick to the guy that's risking his own neck to defend you? The whole "patting yourself on the back" thing is a little annoying too.

I was thanking him. Twice. Do many of you read around here? Or is it just judgment based on biases? Either way, I appreciated him (two times) stressing the obvious point I was making.

And since when is making a post risking a neck? What did that even mean?

"Thanks for dumbing it down"? Yeah, that screams gratitude.
It's a figure of speech.

That's exactly what he did as a favor to those that did not read it correctly. I appreciated it so I would not have to take the time to explain. And even as a figure of speech, what is the risk of posting a message on the internet?
