This song's definitely gonna do better than "Black Heart Inertia". That was always a given. BHI could have been the greatest song ever and Wheels could have been the shittiest song ever, and Wheels would still do better because Foo Fighters are the New England Patriots of Alternative. Wheels is a much better song anyways though.

Damn! This is doing so much better than I expected! It's already top 10 on Alternative. :o Good performance on iTunes, too. I believe it peaked at #35 there.

I must say that new Foo Fighters logo on the Greatest Hits CD (just seen on the banner ad Pulse now has) is really cool.

This is only about the second FF single that I've liked. It very much has an 80s vibe to it and what's his name actually sings on this instead of his usual screaming.

I posted before I read thru the posts. I saw some references to Tom Petty and MB20. Must be why I like it. Two of my favorite bands of all time.
And yeah, I'm having a total loss tonight of the lead singer's name. I hate when that happens.

One more comment, had this in fact been a MB20 song, alt wouldn't have touched it. It's a shame how the format abandons artists. I guess there's the cool bands and then the soccer mom bands. BS. BTW, Rob Thomas' "Someday" has 33 alt spins. Anyone know what station is playing the song. Cincinnati's alt station? They played MB20's How Far We've Come. I didn't want to start a thread just to ask this question. Thought someone in this post might know. I'll check back in a few days to see if anyone replied. Thanks. www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMD.asp?SOngID=1654158&NumDays=7

as all GH singles do, you had to see it coming Was Lenny Kravitz's "Again" reasonably successful at this format? Even if it made little impact on the Rock formats, I think that's a clear example of an artist with lots of Modern Rock street cred who actually scored his largest career hit off a single debuting from a "Greatest Hits" collection. Bon Jovi's "Always" would be another great example. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus
