Dammit. I don't get the hype for this song at all. It won't do well, I promise.

There was only two real options really. "Sleep Apnea" is of similiar quality, so I was fine with either choice. Top 10 on Active, I promise.

I disagree. I'll say top 20 on both alternative and active.

I think this'll do better than "Closure". Hopefully it does well enough for "Sleep Apnea" to be pushed, anyway.

I would expect this song to do about as well as "The Fad" overall (which I liked a lot), so I'll pick it to do better on alt than "The Fad" and worse on active.

"The Fad" was a strange one. It rocketed up, then slumped down just as quickly. SM is superior IMO.

I think this will go Top 10, but not Top 5. Easily better than "Closure" & "The Fad." "Panic Prone" I think was just a bad 3rd single choice.

Big fan of them and of this track. Hope it can match the success of Jars and Letter from a Thief.

I'm happy about this. I was worried that they weren't going to send another single. Regardless of this single's chart performance, things don't look too good for a "Sleep Apnea" release. They never go with more than three singles off one album.

That's because they've released 3rd singles that don't do well, so they don't get the opportunity to release a 4th single. Then again, with the exception of "Panic Prone" before this, I don't know what would have done better than their choices. I personally don't like "Shameful Metaphors" that much, but if I'm this much in the minority, perhaps it's a good choice after all. "Sleep Apnea" seems like more of a lock to do well on active rock radio.
I'm sticking with my peak predictions...I'll say #11 on active and #13 on alternative.
If "Sleep Apnea" were released as the 3rd single instead...I would have predicted #5 on active #16 on alternative.

This won't do as well as the first 2 singles, but should do better than The Fad and Panic Prone.
Anyone remember if The Fad made Top 40 on Alternative? Just wondering.

This was literally the previous song shuffled in my speakers before I saw this topic. Of 15,000 songs and audio files on my hard drive, it was "Shameful Metaphors." Had I known it was the confirmed new single 5 minutes sooner, I would have paid closer attention to it. Anyone remember if The Fad made Top 40 on Alternative? Just wondering. It spent 7 weeks on the chart and peaked at #42. It actually grew on me once it became a single. I remember it was my least favorite (or toward the bottom) on the album until then. But while the "I Get It" video was a bit one-sided and childish, "The Fad" video sequel was just flat-out stupid.

Doubt this will be the song that finally gives them a top 10 with a third single... For me, "Sleep Apnea" was the obvious choice. I could see it go further than I think this one will. Predictions for this: -#13 on Active; -#15 on Alternative.

It went to #13 on Billboard Mainstream. On Mediabase, its peak is at least #11. I think I remember seeing it at #10 one day, but I'm not sure if it made the official update. It may have reached the top10 on BDS active.
I like to reference the mainstream rock chart also, but Chevelle always does much better when only active rock stations are considered.
I see this song going as high as #8 on active, but like "The Fad," its chart run will most likely be short-lived.

This is painful to watch. In the past 10 days or so, it was passed by "The Catalyst," "Black Rain," "Forever," "Living In A Dream," "World So Cold," "Turn So Cold," and "Let The Guilt Go." The timing is unfortunate, but I'm surprised that it's already losing spins. This is going to make "Panic Prone" look like a huge hit.

On the back of two top fives aswell. I'm starting to wonder if Chevelle will ever have a successful third single.
