I hope these guys can get another Top 10.

^ Me too. They deserve a lot more than to be a one hit wonder of a song that I thought was kind of mediocre compared to some of their other material.

Meanwhile, "Feel Good Drag" is still the 28th most played song on Alternative radio (and lower than only 19 currents... that's right, it would still be on the chart if Mediabase had kept its recurrent rule and it had somehow escaped falling below the top 20 before today). I wonder if they're coming out with this too quickly.

I wonder if they're coming out with this too quickly. Well, it would've already fallen out of the Top 20 naturally, even though Mediabase jumped the gun on their 20/20 rule last year. It's not like they can bring recurrent songs back if their spin totals rebound enough to earn them a Top 20 placement again.

I know - it was just a hypothetical. It clearly hasn't fallen much further, though. (Either that, or the currents are so weak that the recurrents are relatively stronger.)
(1) Spins for the #20 song (corrected for Mediabase mistakenly sending songs to recurrent from #20, which happened a few times) (2) Spins for the #20 song including recurrents (before the recurrent rule switch, these were one and the same) (3) Spins for "Feel Good Drag" * Panel decrease ** Recurrent rule changes from 20/20 to 20/15
(1) 852 908 882 842 798 * 737 807 779 737 748 738 686 661 674 685 634 672 712 754 651 653 693 696 715 711 732 737 ** 617 654 634 709 579 532 (2) 000 000 000 000 000 * 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 ** 741 704 733 709 758 738 (3) 017 978 940 939 901 * 817 808 779 737 748 738 773 830 817 797 749 737 712 697 600 593 616 603 539 575 568 587 ** 584 562 589 568 578 562
So after this analysis - yep, it's the panel change mostly. Although in a 14-week span, FGD has only lost an average of 3 spins per week.

He runs their website or something, I also think he has close personal ties to them as well.

"Impossible" is my most anticipated song of this summer. :) I dig the album title, too bad there will only be 10 songs into it... By the way, it comes out on my birthday.

Their management rules because they finally came to South Texas last year and they were AMAZING. One of the best live bands I've ever seen and Stephen is my favorite male vocalist. He has singing chops like no other. I'm very curious to see how this album will fare against Cities. New Surrender was nice but Cities was perfection.

lol, Matt's fanboyism is what introduced me to them in 2005.
For what it's worth, "Never Take Friendship Personal" is still my favourite album of theirs.

Pipa, me too. In addition to Matt, I love how reid keeps us in the loop; thanks reid! Don't know if other bands do any listening here, though considering how well this group does at picking out winners and how many of those are not selected as singles, I'm guessing it's not too common.

...I love how reid keeps us in the loop... did you catch in the press release that Feel Good Drag will be a featured track in the in-store version of the upcoming Guitar Hero 6 out in September? and that: "'We Owe This To Ourselves,' another track from Dark Is The Way, Light is a Place, will be the main song used on ESPN’s X-Games this summer." so you'll hear at least one other track this summer besides the single.
