Don't look now, but both the topic for this and for "I Will Not Bow" are 8 pages, with only 13 comments separating them. (This one has more views, for some reason.)
And....Go.

SPAM just kidding but yeah lol the competition this is funny But TDG is more pop appealing so I guess some viewers from that forum come over.

And it might be because 3DG has had bigger hits as well.

That's only because their single was out longer than 3DG's before it was released on iTunes. Jive should have done the same thing but weren't smart enough to do that. Regardless, 3DG's single will have longevity if it crosses over.

"Lost In You" is a crossover SMASH. I can't stop listening. It might be my favorite Three Days Grace song ever.

Regardless, 3DG's single will have longevity if it crosses over. Or it could be the fact that "I Will Not Bow" got a lot more downloads. In fact, it's still number two on the itunes rock songs chart, despite being out a week longer than "Break," which is at number 8 ;)

When I first listened to this album, I was sort of sad, but now I really enjoy a lot of the songs. I am excited to hear Breaking Benjamin's new album on Tuesday to see whose is better.

Uh oh, I hope there's not some TDG vs BB fan war about to go down.

I find the BB fans knowing that TDG is more popular in the mainstream, and despite still liking TDG, they do the best they can at making TDG and all of their work sound as mediocre as possible without crossing the line of hating on them just so that they can make BB look and sounds better.
Just my opinion

Just my opinion And you're on the 3DG side of the fence, so of course you see it that way. The exact same can be said of 3DG fans and the way they're gonna be reviewing BB's album on Tuesday (if they haven't heard it already that is). Me, I like 3DG. But they haven't put together an album I can listen to all the way through. But they always have about half an album worth of listenable material. Just my opinion. As for the fan war, despite Nick and pen's best efforts to start one, I respect gerry's opinion. Even if I think he's wrong. Not because I'm a BB fan, just because I don't see how "Break" will catch up in downloads...unless it crosses over, which I don't really see happening. But ya never know.

I'm not trying to start a fan war, I'm providing cold hard facts so people can shut up.

That table will be Exhibit A in an argument tomorrow, I'm sure of it, lol. The fact is that, of course, 3DG is more successful. However, IWNB is holding its own compared to "Break." Which is fine with me

Well the next couple weeks will be crucial. IWNB sales are dropping and looks like Break's are holding steady as the single climbs the charts and becomes more familiar to people.

I was not aware until pen posted that chart that "Riot" was 3DG's first real flop.

I thought it got an adds date after a few stations added it? And videos really mean nothing when it comes to rock radio.

and Riot wasn't even that big of a flop when you look at its longevity. All the stations played it heavily at some point, just not all at once.

And I think any kind of promo helps a song commercially, even on the rock format. It's not as big of a deal there, but I still think songs benefit from it.

I've never really enjoyed much of 3DG. I kinda tolerated "I Hate Everything About You." Their music seems almost manufactured, instead of written recorded. Anyone else get this vibe?

I wouldn't really consider Riot as a single. I don't think it even got released to radio. Stations played it but never really promoted as a single, right?
