It's kind of odd to lead off with War/You're Going Down and then go all HAC. This is a rock album. Sigh. White Balloons is the best "soft" song anyway.

Ha. The rock station in the town I am currently in (94.3, Colorado Springs), just said, "here's the new single from the Sick Puppies" and played "War". "Maybe" is not active rock material.

I thought "Odd One" was an excellent single choice; I enjoy it better than "You're Going Down"; as for crossover to pop and Hot AC, "Maybe" and "Don't Walk Away" would be good choices for that; and as for the next and possibly final single, I would go with "Riptide" or "So What I Lied".
And I always thought this sounded more alternative/pop/Lifehouse-ish~HAC than Active. Although it's a little tiny bit "heavy", it should be enough to match or go a little higher than it's peak on alternative (due to the previous singles' success on active).
Maybe ... Top 20 on active and Top 30 on alternative

I think this could be the last single If they can do good on the HAC and Pop chart, I can expect another toned down song like "Don't Walk Away" or "In It For Life" (I think).

Sorry, it's been a while since I listened to the album. I think they can go five singles deep with this album now, with one going to rock ("Riptide" probably) and another to pop/HAC when "Maybe" peaks ("Don't Walk Away" most likely).

If "Maybe" ends up being as much of a multi-format and alternative hit as it seems primed to be, it's kind of like starting over with it being the lead single as this will be the first time hearing the Sick Puppies for a lot of people. And with the exception of Rise Against's "Savior", rarely does promotion for an album cease after its most successful single, which this very well may be if it gets even a LITTLE higher on CHR and Hot AC. And I'm sure that many would argue it already is.

So, this has now gone from Active. A peak of #13 & #20 on Billboard is still quite impressive for a third single. Seems like they've moved back over to Alternative with this single, though.

^ I think the newly found HAC and CHR success is helping them on Alternative a lot, but Active could care less suppose. Oh well, this is more alt. anyways.

It really peaked at #13 on Active? Thought it peaked lower.

It really peaked at #13 on Active? Thought it peaked lower. Nope, it peaked at #20 on active. On alternative, actually, it's currently at #11. It'll probably be in the Top 10 in a week or two, once "Impossible" falls out.

^ Yeah, I mean "Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks", not Active. Yeah, it peaked at #13 on Mediabase Active.

Wonder if it can pass the peak of "All the Same". It definitely should outpeak "You're Going Down".

I actually don't think it's going to die anytime soon on alternative. On active, however, it's met it's day and is not going to resurface like on alt.

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" Well I was close with the active peak, but my alt. peak was a little off. So was my logic. Damn you alternative radio. :)

Moves up to #6 on Billboard. This is now their most successful single on Alt, surpassing "All the Same". I doubt their next single will recive any Active airplay, so I'm guessing they'll go for either "Riptide" or "Don't Walk Away".

I'm not sure that I understand your reasoning for either part of this sentence. First of all, "Maybe" has stuck around long enough on active that considering how NOT HEAVY the song was, it was quite successful, and active rock might want to hear more from them. And if active rock radio was going to be done with them for this era, then wouldn't that be a reason NOT to release "Riptide" given it's one of their more rock-oriented songs?

I'm thinking they're done on Active for this era. Though, on further analysis you're probably right. "Riptide" may be too Active-leaning, so that probably sounds contradictory to my theory. "Don't Walk Away" it is.

I'm thinking they're done on Active for this era. Why? Well, this single has been far more successful on Alt. than Active and with the breakthrough on HAC/Pop, I doubt Active will be welcoming another single with open arms. As I've said before I think they've moved back over to Alt with this release.
