Since like a couple months ago. Way to be late to the party. And I thought "Staring Down" was the single, but I guess they're shipping out multiple ones?

Wow! these guys are still around? hahahaha. I loved them during the 90's, but I think the last album that I bought was Dosage. I'm not sure why, but they just fell of my radar. How many albums have they had in the 00's? |

If it's like the last album, I'm betting one track is going to Progressive stations while the other gets added to the rock lists.

well "Staring Down" is supposed to hit this month, so maybe it's a followup and Roadrunner is really pushing them.

After Dosage, they had Blender in 2000, Youth in 2004, and Afterwords in 2007. Actually, I think I remember getting Blender as well. That's the one where they had a track with Elton John, right? That one was pretty good if I remember correctly. |

I haven't heard this yet. Staring Down sounds like a good return for them. I assume this is a little heavier?

"Staring Down" is great, but this is just average.
My dad's a huge fan of these guys, so I'll do like I did for their last album and buy it for him without him even knowing it existed.

That's just scary to me that Collective Soul would be old enough to be a favorite of a parent. Yikes!!!!

My girlfriend's parents listen to Collective Soul and they're in their mid-late 50s. They're played on AC stations and possibly even some more "newer leaning" classic rock stations, so I guess it's understandable.

To a certain degree Collective Soul is almost the "classic rock" of the 90's. The last few albums have been even more accessible to the average listener. But even back in the 90's songs like "Run" and "The World I Know" were huge to non-rock fans.

In fact it is being played.
Active: 97 plays this week (up from 82 last week and 61 the week before)
Alternative: 51 plays this week (up from 45 plays last week and 26 the week before)
Rock: 32 plays this week (up from 28 plays last week and 25 plays the week before)
It also got one spin at Hot AC and one spin at AAA this week. It had 0 at both the previous two weeks.

Not to pull an Artie, but I have heard this on the radio a couple times.

Well it looks like these guys days at rock radio must be numbered because this song IMO is one of their best in years. It has that old CS sound and is easily not a song you would mistake for Hot AC. I'm slightly surprised this hasn't done anything but I guess once you hit the graveyard its hard to dig out out of it.

I'm listening to their new album now and I'm definitely liking every song I'm hearing. There's no reason why they shouldn't still be played on Alternative as regularly as they were during the 90s, but that's what happening with many bands from that decade being played mostly on Hot AC.
EDIT: I just finished listening to their whole album and I think this may be my favorite one of their's EVER. Keep in mind I have ALL of their albums too. Screw whomever decides not to play Collective Soul on Alternative anymore!
