Ah I mentioned this in the "Odd One" thread earlier today. Poor choice imo.

This is a good song and probably a good single choice, but right after "Odd One" which is similar in tone? I think they should release something heavier first like maybe "So What I Lied" or "Survive", and what about "Riptide"? Such a waste of a good option.

Yeah, if they wanted to continue along this route, they should have gone for "Don't Walk Away". Personally, I would have have chose "Riptide" or "So What I Lied" if they wanted to go for the heavier option.

"I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know that I've let you down
And If you give me a chance Believe it, I can change I'll keep us together Whatever it takes"
Whoops....maybe this is the wrong song?

^Ha, never noticed that.
One of my favorites from the album, but I pretty handily prefer the Lifehouse track.

Oh wow. Just realized that about Lifehouse xD
I'm disappointed they didn't pick Riptide. Though this is another good one.

This is easily a softer one than "You're Going Down" and "Odd One" which I think maybe wasn't such a bad choice as much I wanted "Riptide" or a couple of the other choices left. I'm hoping for a 4th single, but I honestly don't think this will do that great.

This will go #28 alternative and #17 on active. Although I find it more alternative sounding, this should do better on active due to the success of "You're Going Down" and "Odd One"

I think it'll go a bit further than that, it's getting a healthy amount of spins in both formats right now.

Really? I don't think so. If this goes top 10, then we know that there is massive payola behind this. This song is not remotely close to being heavy enough for active rock listeners to dig it that much. Given they're on a major label and the success of their first two singles, I think top 20 is likely. But top 10? This song got absolutely panned when my local station put it on their hit or diss segment. There's no way enough rock radio listeners around the country want to hear this for it to be a legit top 10.

Possibly, yes. The bullet is currently the biggest outside the top 20. I'm not saying it should go top 10, but it looks likely at this stage.

I'm not rooting against the song by any means, but based on listener reactions, I think my local active rock station is a pretty good sample to gauge the rest of the country's active rock listeners...and they REALLY didn't like it. So if it does go top 10, I think it's a record label fabrication rather than an indicator of how popular the song actually is with rock radio listeners. And there are plenty of songs that have had triple digit bullets in the upper 20s and ended up stalling even outside the top 20. I'm guessing that this will break the top 20 but not by much. I'll give it roughly a #18 peak on active if I had to guess.

This was a terrible single choice. As was Odd One. They're wasting an excellent album.

This is sorta a good choice if their goal is to try to cross over to Hot AC. And single #3 is often when bands try to do it for whatever reason. If "Riptide" or "White Balloons" isn't next, I'll be shocked.

I'm not sure if they'll release a 4th single. They might just stop this era with 3, like the last one.
