Id have to think Breaking Benjamin will also debut in the top 20 and screw around with them. But yeah Im expecting a top 15 debut for TDG (and top 5 on Active lol) so Muse could get blocked Sadly, I was thinking of exactly those two as the song's biggest obstacles.

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like Personal Jesus/Keeps Gettin' Better/I Don't Care? I heard Keeps Gettin Better immediately. I thought it sounded like a Marilyn Manson song and Keeps Gettin Better were mashed together (with Muse's distinctive vocals obviously)

I frame it differently but I might agree. Breaking Benjamin has never had a #1 on alternative either, so I'm rooting for them and Muse to both score their first #1s. That said...I think "Uprising" isn't that good, so I'd be much happier if Muse manages to do it with something a lot better than this. I don't usually like Three Days Grace, so I will likely be rooting against them. As for Breaking Benjamin, the descriptions of "I Will Not Bow" sound like something I might like, so we'll see.

Wow, Time is Running Out never hit number 1? Nicolas, could you please remind us of Muse singles past chart performance? Thanks.

It's ok, but I'm a bit disappointed. This. However, I will say that "Supermassive Black Hole" failed to reach the top 50 of my chart when it was first released, only to go to #1 several months later when it got its US radio push. I'm not dumb enough to give up on this one yet.

I'll let Nick run the gammit on all numbers but I can tell you that on BB Modern Rock tracks, Time is Running Out hit only #9 and the highest charting song was Starlight that hit #2

Butterflies and Hurricanes is my favorite Muse track ever; don't think it was ever a single anywhere...

Butterflies and Hurricanes is my favorite Muse track ever; don't think it was ever a single anywhere... It sure was released as a single. But I believe it was a UK only single. It didn't chart on Modern in the US. It reached number 14 in the UK and was the last single released from Absolution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterflies_and_Hurricanes

Muse's Alternative chart history:
Muscle Museum: #38, 9 woc
Time Is Running Out: #9, 20 woc Hysteria: #9, 27 woc Stockholm Syndrome: #29, 10 woc (Funny how I hear SS just as much as TIRO these days. I would've guessed #22 or #23.)
Knights of Cydonia: #10, 20 woc (I would've guessed this peaked as high as #6, though.) Starlight: #2(2), 27 woc (Still consistently among the 40 most popular recurrent songs each week for the past 2+ years, though I never have reaped a whole lot of that benefit.) Supermassive Black Hole: #6, 25 woc (I would've guessed #8.) Map of the Problematique: #47(2), 5 woc (non-consecutive, neither were its 2 weeks at #47.) (And I don't know how much the "official" chart monkeys with my numbers for this song, since I add the purged 41-50-range songs back in each week.)

I like this quite a bit, my only complaint is that it drags on a little too long.

I prefer the radio edit to the album version.

I prefer the radio edit to the album version. Does it just cut out the extended ending? If so, I assume I'd prefer that one more as well.

Yeah this song is borderline boring. I like it, but i feel like it drags out as some have said.

Dissapointing.
UK is 4 for 4 for average to below average follow ups the past year for me with: Franz, Snow Patrol, Keane, and now Muse. GREAT!

I'm not disappointed in United States Of Eurasia in the least, after just listening to it for the first time. It absolutely has the Queen homage, which I have no problem with because it still keeps a Muse feel. I love that it also feels a little like Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok" in places which is AWESOME!! It's obviously a digital single for a reason, I believe it's one of those songs that they are having fun with. Nicely said!... everyone keeps saying they're plagiarising Queen elements on the track but it's far to obvious to try and get away with... Homage is far more suitable. I can understand how some may not like it but as My Life Is A Stereo put it, they're having fun... why else would Matt sing the "Turning to dust" bit in a Dracula voice? Also, did anyone want to start singing "Unintended" in the opening bars?

This didn't hit me quite as immediately as "Starlight" or "Supermassive Black Hole", but it only took a few listens for me to absolutely love it.

I listened to "USOE" yesterday and I preferred it to "Uprising". Not that it really matters at this point, though.
