I know it's a bit early but does anyone have any 4th single predictions? Crossover would be my guess.

"Last to Know" or "Lost in You" as fourth and possibly final single.

[arashinclowery13]

I think Someone Who Cares or Goin Down are best choice as 4th single.

I'd like to see "Bitter Taste".

this could have a good chance of being 3rd straight #1

I think it will for about 2 or 3 weeks, then something else will take over.

[Shadows in the Dark]

It is Three Days Grace, so you should expect 3 Active #1s from an album.

3 Active #1s off One-X and now the same for Life Starts Now. who can match that?

[lockebox]

^ Shinedown probably will. This is the first deserving #1 for me. The previous 2 singles were extremely lucky.

[Devin]

^ Just a little information -- Shinedown will probably get 4 or 5 #1's on their next album

How?

"Break" took its time considerably reaching the summit and went on to stay there for eleven weeks (Billboard data), and with "The Good Life" it scaled the chart at a faster rate, but still had a convincing five (I think) week run on top.

That hardly strikes me as "lucky". However, I will agree of their three singles this era so far, this has had the most impressive chart run.

Namaste,

What makes you say that it's had the most impressive chart run? (other than that it took out My Darkest Days, which obviously deserves a big thank you.)

[lockebox]

I meant lucky as in the quality of "Break" & "The Good Life" wasn't good enough IMO to reach the top spot. "World So Cold" is definitely worthy.

[Devin]

^ But I think we all knew those two songs were going to hit the top. I just hope they improve their alternative peaks on their next albums.

[HereIsGone]

I really need to start paying attention to the active charts right now. I had no idea that World So Cold hit No. 1 at the moment. Either way, good on them. Hard to say what they'll pick next should they follow up World So Cold. There's a bunch off the top of my head that could work so I suppose it'll depend if they wanna crossover or continue with the harder stuff.

Without bothering to narrow this down, I could see Bitter Taste, Lost In You, Someone Who Cares, Goin' Down and Life Starts Now as singles.

[Devin]

The next single has to be "Last to Know". Go epic and do a crossover attempt!! They should try and push a fifth single this time around, too, which should be "Bitter Taste". ;)

[HereIsGone]

Yeah, there are so many potential single choices for both directions. It's crazy. :)

[rockmaniac]

whatever song they pick as single #4 should do better than Riot

I think they've made a mistake in not having already released a single specifically for the Adult and Mainstream Top 40 formats.

Although it has been wise for the band to deliver consecutive songs that appeal squarely to their main audience, they should have released "Last to Know" around the same time "The Good Life" peaked at their two core formats. Then, they could have brought about another joint release with "Lost in You" for mainstream and "Bitter Taste" for the rock formats without appearing as though they were overextending themselves.

[Devin]

^ Like that logic!

[jvandyck87]

^^Yeah but then "World So Cold" which was clearly the standout track on the album would never have been released as a single. If they were gonna go your route, "World So Cold" should have been released in lieu of "The Good Life" or "Break".

I wasn't expecting this to reach #1. It took a lot of time, but it did, after all. Three Days Grace keep collecting huge successes on Active. On the Alternative format, it is underperforming though. To be fair, the three singles from Life Stars Now had the same fate...

If there's a single number four, I really hope it will be "Lost In You". That's way too good not to be one.

[Shadows in the Dark]

I would think this is Alternative-friendly enough to go Top 10. Still has a bullet, so maybe it'll get there.
