Single three from their second album hits the week of October 25 says Billboard. I think I heard No Surprise and You Don't Belong a total of 3 times and don't recall either. So I doubt this scores anything.
Is it too early to write these guys off as the next Hootie & The Blowfish?

"No Surprise" has done extremely well on all charts and "You Don't Belong" was never a single. This is their second single.

You Don't Belong had a physical CD single and radio date. It completely bombed. One was a ballad and one was a rocker, I'm assuming No Surprise was the ballad. Life After You screams as a ballad title. Not sure I'll ever hear this one!

Show me. I have never seen a physical CD single for "You Don't Belong".

I don't have it, sorry. As for Lifehouse, they have had a few hits since the first album. They seem to come back every once in a while and score something. Blowfish pretty much fell of the earth after the first record. Same seems to be happening to Daughtry. Maybe they need Slash back??

Slash was only on one song and it wasn't even one that did well.
And why are you saying that anyway? "No Surprise" did great. This is the next single. You're basing this off of one song that may or may not have been a real single.

Considering I have heard No Surprise twice at most, and I can't even find an entry on any Nielsen rock chart says it did not score well. Now I don't know about CHR, it may have done well there.

Because you're the end all be all. #9 on Pop #15 on Top 40 #14 on Hot AC #1 on Adult Contemporary Hardly a bomb. It's their third highest charting single overall after "It's Not Over" and "Home". |

Yeah, but you noticed you're posting in the Alternative board right? I'm sure the Blowfish had several adult hits also. But I'm trying to stick with what we know here.

Huh? Single #3? You Don't Belong was never sent for adds anywhere. I know that because I've been hoping that they send it to Rock. Also, "Life After You" is NOT going to Rock. It's only going to Pop and HAC. ???

I think that's my point. They, like Hootie & The Blowfish, have exposed themselves as artists that don't fit on Alternative / Mainstream Rock any more. That's the only reason I offered the comparison. Even Darius Rucker is huge on Country / Western nowadays. Go figure.

Slash was only on one song and it wasn't even one that did well. It was almost an active top 5, peaked around number 7 or so. You're probably thinking about "Crashed," it peaked just outside the top 20. Crashed...Slash. Makes sense. |

I would assume it did. If not, like all of their others it was sent to the Active and Mainstream and AOR stations. But again, it obviously did not get played much or at all. My only point was, are they done on rock radio?

More than likely. There's really only two songs (maybe three, but I doubt "Call Your Name" will be released anywhere) on the album that could be rock hits. There are a few b-sides that are fantastic though.

Artie is once again posting... poppycock!
1. "You Don't Belong" was never a single.
2. "No Suprise" did quite well actually.
3. Why the heck has this been posted here anyway? It won't get 1 spin on rock.

Because Artie has a quota to reach. He must post a certain number of threads every month, or reality as we know it will collapse. So he scours the world, searching for any singles he can get his hands on, sometimes catching non-singles in the process, like a fisherman catching tuna with a net. Then he scrambles to post them all as fast as he can, sometimes making typos and errors in the process, but nothing will stop him in his mission. For if he misses one thread, just one single thread...the world will end.

No chance. I've never scoured anywhere to post here. Everything comes to me. And this officially goes to radio in two weeks as stated in the first post. Now I can't control how many times stations play them though. Then the world might end!

Everything comes to Art. Like a giant magnet spiralling in the cosmos, everything comes to Art. Like a lonely star at the center of the universe, the gravitational pull swallowing everything within range.

That may be a tad overstated. But pertaining to Modern music and radio, you pretty much nailed it.

Haha. So, you're a giant magnet spiralling in the cosmos in the music world? I'm not going to dignifiy that with an answer.

Um, you just did. I have been called a few types of magnets in my time! That's not a bad thing at all, I'll admit.
