Did indeed use hits instead of singles. Still impressive to me this song has outplayed the majority of The White Stripes releases. Using the hits criteria, Die By The Drop would have to reach #9. We'll see if more stations start adding this. It's a truly alternative song in my opinion. The video is awesome too. Can't wait for the next album.

"Conquest" peaked #30. Sorry. Pen, you preach that Mediabase is a better survey than Billboard and then you use a Billboard peak. Tisk tisk. ;) I don't have a history of Mediabase stats. I have what Wikipedia has available.

Nope. According to whitestripes.com, The White Stripes have releaed 24 singles. It didn't seem right to me that a band as successful as the White Stripes would have 13 noncharting singles, so I checked out the web site. First, I have no idea where you are getting 24, because the singles page lists 23. Second, unless "fell in love with a girl (2)" is an actual song, there are only 22 singles. Third, you fail to mention that 7 of those singles are before they hit the charts with "fell in love with a girl". So if you exclude those, which I think is a reasonable thing to do, the White Stripes have had 15 singles, 11 of which have charted, and every single one of them peaked higher than "die by the drop" as it currently stands. EDIT: "Dead leaves" isn't on there, so maybe that's where you are getting the 24. That would revise my numbers to 16 singles, with 11 charting.

This song is slowly growing on me. I made my Top 40 late Thursday night, but by Friday, for sure, this song would've made my imaginary Hot 100 and will be in consideration for next week's chart.

This and In One Ear would easily be my favorite two songs on radio now if I conducted an opinion chart.

I can see why this is getting more success than "Treat Me Like Your Mother" off the bat. It's definitely more radio-friendly and White Stripes-esque.

I wonder how well "I Cut Like a Buffalo" could have done if it was released earlier, if not first. For my money, that's easily their best song.
