On the back of two top fives aswell. I'm starting to wonder if Chevelle will ever have a successful third single. "Closure" was at 11 and "The Fad" at 13, which are respectable numbers for a third single. I'm shocked at how badly this is performing though, since it's such a great song. Respectable, yes. I guess I meant to say smash third single. I am too, especially considering it's as equally strong as the first two singles. |

My reaction to this being picked as the third single was pretty dead on: Dammit. I don't get the hype for this song at all. It won't do well, I promise. I went on to give comparatively generous predictions for the song, but the overall sentiment that this wasn't the right choice was pretty much right on. *pats self on back for being right...sorta* |

I don't understand why this song isn't working. Much better than Letter To A Thief.

It's picking up again. I'm sure it'll do decently at least.

That's not THAT surprising given it's by no means a heavy song, and it's in a major key. Also, they've historically performed similarly at both formats despite being an alt-metal band. Didn't "I Get It" end up peaking higher on alternative than active just three years ago? And it was a top 5 hit on active, so it was obviously quite big on alternative.

Up to #26 with a 64+ bullet. Possibly just a slow-burner  |

i think this could be their last single from the album Most likely. I don't think they've ever gone four singles deep. |

26 21 CHEVELLE - Shameful Metaphors 408 377 31 2.73
Wow. This is approaching the top 20 on Alt, yet has moreorless fallen off Active. Slightly odd.

Well, "Closure" peaked at #11 on both charts... And this looks done on Active and I can't see it going as far as #11 on Alt... so, no.

I meant this is mirroring how Closure did better on Alternative than Active. |

Well, they performed equally. The only Chevelle single other than this that has done better on Alternative was "I Get It" and that was by a spot or two. I find it suprising that this flopped on Active, but is still looking steady on Alt.

Maybe they shoulda did a Flyleaf or A Day to Remember move and release "Sleep Apnea" to active and this solely to alt. I wonder how those would have faired...

In terms of spins, this song has still performed about the same on both charts. It had over 400 spins the week it peaked on active rock. I think that this has to do with the current state of alternative radio (stations holding on to recurrents, not as many big new releases). Meanwhile, active rock is thriving with many new releases climbing the chart. We'll have to wait and see if this actually starts to take off and hits the top 20. I would like to see that.

At least this is doing well on a format.
