"Burn It To the Ground" is also tuned super low. It's in Drop B or B standard or something like that. The only other rock songs I can think of that crossed over to pop tuned to low B or lower are all mellower rock hits from Staind as well as "Someday" by Nickelback, "Scars" by Papa Roach, and "Rain" by Creed. The only one as heavy as BITTG tuned that low is "Last Resort" which I'm pretty sure made a dent at CHR.

speaking of Burn It To The Ground, it's nominated for a Grammy (Best Hard Rock Performance).

Well deserved, although I figured the band would score more than that lone nomination.

I think had they not just missed the cutoff for 2008, it would've scored many more.

Whoa this is pacing it down the charts. I expected another top 10 on Active :o

Yeah I was surprised too. Thought it would go higher than #11 or #12.

well, seems it could be the last single, unless they pull a Theory of a Deadman (releasing an 8th single)

I never really liked this as a single. Always said it shoulda been Just To Get High over this.

Putting out 21 or so singles in 6+ years will take a toll on radio. Luckily it's not the chart positions that make a song.

I've managed not to hear this yet. It's the longest I think I've ever gone without hearing a Nickelback single (after "How You Remind Me", at least).

This song doesn't really have the best hook in my opinion, but it sounds fitting for radio somehow. I don't know HOW it's doing so well, but i'm not goona complain.
Though i must say, there could've been better singles, such as This Afternoon.

Yeah and "Savin' Me" also charted on pop fairly high so overall it was a success as a single. This wasn't.
