I read online the leaks are fake. It's supposedly some band called "Reckless"

I think it's badass!! Heavily borrowed of course but it was never intended for release anyway. If you're still undecided I say play it really loud!... that's the decider for me usually.

The past 3 days of Mediabase updates have this as the narrow favorite to grab #1 this week on Alternative.

This leapfrogged Notion today and is now 1 spin from #1.

Honestly, I'm pissed this went #1. I mean, I like Muse, but I think this one of their weakest singles ever. Hopefully, it won't be on the top for much time.

I mean, I like Muse, but I think this one of their weakest singles ever. Even though I agree (although I can't speak for much prior to "Time Is Running Out"), they deserve to have a #1 hit, so I'm fine with this. Plus it (for the moment, anyway) denies Artie Ziff of a correct prediction.

I somewhat prefer "Notion" to this, but they're both cool, and #1, #1, #2 is pretty respectable for a band whose previous high had come with whatever-the-not-so-high peak of "The Bucket" had been, so yay for "Uprising."

I have half a mind to report you to the administration. :) Having used Facebook for significantly less time than I've been contributing here (we're talking maybe 5 months vs. 8 years), I've come to realize in the last couple of months that "liking" someone's comment on Facebook is exactly the same thing as all the times I've ever quoted somebody here and put a :) after it.

I really don't listen to this very much... I don't dislike it, but it's a shame a song like this makes #1 when so many of their other (superior) songs go relatively unnoticed.

That's how careers work, oftentimes, though. An act's early output gets the public more and more familiar with them, setting the stage for massive success to come later, often with inferior material.

Oh of course, I just think it's a shame that's the way it works when it's one of their weaker singles. I think it's a little complacent - but I'll wait for the album.

I don't think it'll work that way in the long run. I mean Metallica's biggest chart success didn't come until the singles Load, Reload, and now again with Death Magnetic. You think people will remember those songs as their biggest hits? Same with Linkin Park on a much shorter time scale. I imagine people will remember "One Step Closer" and "Crawling" as bigger hits than "What I've Done" and "New Divide." And people will view "Man In The Box" as Alice In Chains' biggest hit despite not being close to their biggest chart hit. And Disturbed's biggest hit will not be "Inside The Fire" but rather "Down With The Sickness." I'm sure there are many other examples. My guess is that Muse will be remembered most for "Time Is Running Out" and "Hysteria" when all is said and done.

As the fan base grows inevitably more singles are sold.

The new record is gonna be streaming from their website come Thursday. :).
I think they'll be most remembered for "Knights of Cydonia" and "Starlight", which is when they truly began to hit their stride (in the US). "Time Is Running Out" will be the concert finale as their breakthrough hit. "Hysteria" is only going to be one of the greatest songs of mankind.
Glad I didn't jinx them with my #1 call. It may be the weakest #1 ever, but all that matters is that they got there!

I'm glad that Muse did it. "Starlight" missed to 3DG.

I meant "weakest" to be fewest number of plays necessary to reach #1.
1/4/2009 Sex On Fire 2190 1/11/2009 Sex On Fire 2249 1/18/2009 Sex On Fire 2166 1/25/2009 Sex On Fire 2008 2/1/2009 Love Hurts 1932 2/8/2009 Love Hurts 2001 2/15/2009 Love Hurts 1934 2/22/2009 Love Hurts 1924 3/1/2009 Love Hurts 1966 3/8/2009 Love Hurts 1931 3/15/2009 Love Hurts 1785 3/22/2009 Brother 1698 3/29/2009 Use Somebody 2001 4/5/2009 Use Somebody 2080 4/12/2009 Use Somebody 2084 4/19/2009 Feel Good Drag 2100 4/26/2009 Know Your Enemy 2134 5/3/2009 Know Your Enemy 2395 5/10/2009 Know Your Enemy 2557 5/17/2009 Know Your Enemy 2593 5/24/2009 Know Your Enemy 2199 5/31/2009 Know Your Enemy 2093 6/7/2009 Know Your Enemy 1917 6/14/2009 New Divide 2000 6/21/2009 New Divide 2113 6/28/2009 New Divide 2213 7/5/2009 New Divide 2196 7/12/2009 New Divide 2273 7/19/2009 New Divide 2264 7/26/2009 New Divide 2293 8/2/2009 New Divide 2270 8/9/2009 New Divide 2158 8/16/2009 New Divide 2023 8/23/2009 New Divide 1845 8/30/2009 New Divide 1688 9/6/2009 Uprising 1558
That's the lowest total play count for a #1 hit since "Psycho" on 4/13/08 with 1535 (and it had 1467 the week before!) And with that being its only two weeks at #1, "Psycho" must be the weakest #1 ever. I won't check any farther back than that right now, because I don't feel like it, and I want "Psycho" to be the weakest #1 ever, since I can't stop it from already having been to #1...

Also, "Starlight" spent 7 weeks of higher spin totals than what "Uprising" needed last week for #1.

4-6 stations flipped to active rock. I remember WJRR Orlando, WNFZ Knoxville, WHRL Buffalo, and KQXR Boise off-hand. KZBD Spokane and WWWX Appleton flipped the other way. Obviously there are new stations and stations that disappeared too.

Yeah, I didn't realize the panel had been shrinking that much; I don't normally look at things like that. I know my local station (WRWK Toledo) recently flipped to HD-only and is no longer monitored.
