Missing to be sent to Alternative and Pop as cited in this interview:

Bad move. "Chasm" is a terrible choice in comparison to "Beautiful Bride" or "This Close".

"Beautiful Bride" probably would have been my first choice followed by "Swept Away." The songs on the album haven't really differed to me very much after five or so listens, so I guess I'm not too dissatisfied with whatever they chose.

I thought that "Beautiful Bride" was a sure shot to be next. A video was even shot, wasn't it?
These choices are fine though.

They probably didn't add Beautiful Bride because of the Christ reference and because it may have been perceived as too churchy.

Such a bad idea sending out two different singles.  "Beautiful Bride" should be next. |

Was "Again" sent to pop radio? If it was, it should've done well as to follow up to "All Around Me". I kinda doubt it was

Was there really any band that sent 2 singles at a time and saw them succeed?

Na. I can only really think of Ashes Divide & Jet who did it recently... and unsuccessfully of course.

Nickelback kind of did ... on both formats of rock. It worked out ok, but "Gotta Be Somebody" floped after it hit Top 10, then "Something In Your Mouth" was rush-released on active 5 weeks after GBS, although it did chart like 3 weeks after GBS started

I find it funny that my station just seemed to add "Chasm" over the past week as I just saw it pop up at the bottom of their playlist.
