All right, in this game, you pick an album, predict or list the era you would/would've like(d). Then, you predict/state what you thought/think the peak of the album and singles should('ve) be/been.
For example:
Life Starts Now, Three Days Grace (#1 on Billboard 200)
* "Break" (Sept. 2009)
- #34 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (15 weeks) --- Active rock
- #1 (7 weeks) --- Alternative
- #25 --- CHR
* "Last to Know" (Dec. 2009)
- #9 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (3 weeks) --- Active rock
- #4 --- Alternative
- #6 --- CHR
- #3 --- Hot AC
* "The Good Life" (April 2010)
- #68 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (9 weeks) --- Active rock
- #1 (2 weeks) --- Alternative
* "Lost in You" (Aug. 2010)
- #34 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #6 --- Active rock
- #11 --- Alternative
- #17 --- CHR
- #12 --- Hot AC
* "World So Cold" (Jan. 2011)
- #34 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (4 weeks) --- Active rock
- #5 --- Alternative
* "Life Starts Now" (June 2011)
- #34 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #8 --- Active rock
- #16 --- Alternative
- #39 --- CHR
- #32 --- Hot AC
Or for an example of an older album:
Phobia, Breaking Benjamin (#1 on B200)
* "The Diary of Jane" (Aug. 2006)
- #21 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (14 weeks) --- Active Rock
- #1 (3 weeks) --- Alternative
- #22 --- CHR
- #27 --- Hot AC
* "Breath" (Jan. 2007)
- #8 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (16 weeks) --- Active Rock
- #1 (7 weeks) --- Alternative
- #10 --- CHR
- #9 --- Hot AC
* "Until the End" (June 2007)
- #78 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #1 (5 weeks) --- Active Rock
- #6 --- Alternative
* "Here We Are" (Nov. 2007)
- #61 --- Billboard Hot 100
- #2 --- Active Rock
- #10 --- Alternative
- #26 --- CHR
- #20 --- Hot AC
* "Dance With the Devil" (May 2008)
- #7 --- Active Rock
- #21 --- Alternative
That's how its done. I find it interesting and enjoyable.
Have fun
