Wow. That's just sad.
I'm worried how Mudvayne is going to do with their album coming out.

i'm not. I mean, it could end up in the same peak as TNG: top 20.

Wow, that shows radio means shit. Puddle of mudd peaks at #95 coming off an album with a #1 song, and my two favorite bands Porcupine Tree and Sevendust score album peaks of 25 and 14 with Porcupine Tree barely having a charting single and Sevendust never having a breakout hit. Radio should take notice and realize that no one likes "Spaceship" and that's why no one bought the album. Same with Saliva...unless Saliva comes out with something decent next time around.

Papa Roach better be taking notes too. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

Anything below the top 20 I would have said was an underperformance considering how big they are at rock radio. I don't think the Xmas season could have anything more than a 20-spot swing on the chart. It just pisses me off that radio stations don't seem to care that bands like The Mars Volta, Rammstein, Dream Theater, and the bands I mentioned in my previous post sell significantly better than the bands they play the hell out of. I'm obviously just vouching for bands that I like that get snubbed, but I'm sure you all can come up with other examples among your favorite bands who have huge devoted radio followings and radio could give two shits about.

Two big thumbs up to Rammstein in your list. "Roter Sand" is bitchin'.

which song do u think will be the 2nd single? I think the next release will hinge on whether the label thinks they have a legitimate chance at strong crossover play or not. If they think they have a crossover hit in them, then it will be "Keep It Together" I'm sure. If they doubt any crossover potential remains in them, then it will be "Stoned" certainly. However, I wouldn't rule out "Hooky" getting released either for the simple reason that the lyrics and sound pander directly to a general young demographic where, just like "Rockstar" and "Hate My Life", it has a novelty song lean to it yet connects seriously enough to the listeners to succeed. Given this album has sold howlingly bad thus far, "Spaceship" nonetheless has held up well on Active Rock. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

I just hope they can get into the Top 20 on Alternative again, seeing as how "Spaceship" stalled out at #26.
The album's sold 47k so far, for anyone who's interested. ;)

Stoned is great IMO unless they have something much stronger than "We Don't Have To Look Back Now" that can actually crack CHR for the second single.
