Not a shock that this one is getting a release. As good, if not better than 1901 and a seemingly favorite of nearly everyone I've talked to about this band. I am interested to see how it fares on US modern radio though.

Yeah, I'm with the many with whom you discussed - it's a personal favorite. I'm hoping the success of "1901" will allow this one a good shot too.

I mentioned before that this was supposed to be the first single from the album, but because of the success of "1901" - originally offered as a free mp3 on the band's website - it was shelved (it never went for alternative adds, though and the only remaining evidence of "Lisztomania"'s failed single run is its official video - which premiered months before "1901" - and the fact that "Lisztomania" was on a Promo Only disc long before "1901" was).
Anyway, I totally see this making the Top 40 with ease. Not sure where it'll wind up after that though. As a fan of indie rock, i'm really happy to see a band like Phoenix doing so well on Alternative radio.

Yes, we did start one for this. Although I have not heard the song since it was on Promo Only. 1901 was a little too quirky and annoying for my ears. Maybe this will be different.

I'll give this my seal of approval too. However, repeating "Comes and..." a bunch of times before saying "goes" got annoying pretty quickly.

I pretty much agree with this, but after a few listens the "Comes and goes" part doesn't really bother me very much. I didn't like "1901" at all though, so this was a nice surprise.

oh cool.
There's been a kind of back-and-forth between this and "Out of the Blue" by Julian Casablancas over the past few days because they both have the about same amount of spins.

I don't think it'll have a problem catching on. It was much more immediate on me than "1901," that much.
"Consolation Prizes" ftw, though.

5 3 PHOENIX 1901 RED/Loyaute/Glassnote 1400 1389 11 31 34 PHOENIX Lisztomania RED/Loyaute/Glassnote 388 402 -14
Yet another case of single #2 going nowhere because stations are too busy playing single #1 for the millionth time. I mean, "Lisztomania" probably isn't quite done, but I can't see "1901" tumbling to recurrentland with triple-digit losses anytime soon, and there's no way Phoenix is an established enough band to have two songs in the top 10 at once.

It probably will end up sneaking into the Top 30 at some point though.

I wonder if they will release a third single?? I would die if they release Rome, but more than likley if they end up releasing one it will be Fences.

Anyone knows how much did their album sell in US? It's been in the charts a while now.

Anyone knows how much did their album sell in US? It's been in the charts a while now. About 375k now. Slow & steady wins the race, this thing keeps chugging and though "1901" hasn't tumbled down the charts, it's getting closer to leaving the top 10.

I guess re-adding a song does help. This is starting to pick up again.

I can't decide if these guys are pretentious as hell or just total music dorks (probably both). First they call their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Substituting their own name for Mozart...that's pretty confident). And then they write a song with an equally quirky music video all devoted to semi-obscure 19th century composer Frans Liszt. I don't know whether to feel amused or whether to hate them for it.

This song is great, although I prefer 1901. On a side note, I posted here a few months ago that I never heard 1901 on my alt station even if it was among the top 5 songs and now I hear it quite often haha. I think I even heard Lisztomania once.

Yet, they added Neon Trees' "Animal" into overnight rotation last month. (Meanwhile, Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition" remains untouched, as does Paramore's "Brick by Boring Brick.")

Really looks like it's moving now! About to hit top 20.

Half of its 6-position upward move is due to Mediabase's rule change from 20/20 to 20/15.

This song sounds too similar to 1901 to separate the two. I liked 1901 for the first few months and then got burned out on it esp. when it reached the Top 5. I'm willing to give it another chance, for now.
