With "Neutron Star Collision" on the decline and never even managing to pass the resilient "Resistance" and "Uprising", the rightful follow-up single to "Uprising" that has been put on the backburner twice since then is starting to get some love at radio. KROQ as well as KITS in San Francisco and KNDD in Seattle have all added it this week. Those are some heavyweight big-market stations behind this track, and as it's showing up in the spincrease with 5 stations playing it, I'm calling it the next single, and hoping this time it sticks.
My prediction is that this returns them to the top 10 with a decent shot at the top 5, and potentially a late Fall/holiday season pop crossover hit.
Predictions: Alternative: #4 Active: Fail to chart CHR: 26 Hot AC: 11 AAA: (I don't follow this chart so I can't predict, but I'm sure it will make an appearance).

I agree on all of your predictions with the exception of Alternative, where I believe it will be a shoe-in at #1. This song is really, really, radio friendly, and sounds like nothing else out there,

I don't know if it'll even chart on Pop Songs (CHR), since"Uprising" floped after it got into the Top 50. I also don't think it'll chart higher than "Uprising" on HAC, maybe top 30 there

I think this will go to #1, if NSC made it as high as it did and that was a horrible song, I think will have no problem getting there after two number ones.
As far as pop sucess it can definitely crossover (it's more poppy than Uprising and Resistance) but i doubt it will.

I do hope this is the next single and that it performs well. This song is Muse at their best!
By the way, I'm glad that fucking awful "Neutron Star Collision" didn't go far.

^It's Matt Bellamy's favorite Muse song too, according to the Resistance Tour Program. Says he's proud of the favorable reaction to the song and hopes to make more songs like that in the future. It'd kinda help for this song to become a hit to lay the foundation for that new direction, if it does indeed take place. Predictions: Alternative: #4 Active: Fail to chart CHR: 26 Hot AC: 11 AAA: (I don't follow this chart so I can't predict, but I'm sure it will make an appearance). These are all reasonable. "Uprising" was not a 'pop song' by any other definition except that it made countless appearances in several different forms of entertainment media, which alone carried it for 11 weeks on the pop chart. "Undisclosed" is 100% pop song. It could hit the top ten over there if Warner Bros. wants it to. By the way, I'm glad that f**king awful "Neutron Star Collision" didn't go far. Fixed. I'm glad it didn't go far because its timing was so awkward and you just want it to get out of the way and stop intruding upon the album you'd grown to love over the past year. Similarly, I hope they don't waste setlist space on it when I see them in October. But there really isn't anything wrong with the song itself besides that.

This is a nice song, glad it's (hopefully) seeing release in America.

It's not a bad song, but I never would have thought it'd be a single if it weren't for most everyone here being in love with it. Honestly, if I ranked the 8 non-symphony songs on the album, this would be 8th. It's a great album, and this a solid cut, I just don't think it stands out. I was actually kinda glad "Neutron Star Collision" prolonged it's release.

I think they are too much of a cliché. But now that I think about it, it makes sense that this song is in the soundtrack for that crappy saga that puts millions of teen girls in an orgasmic state.

I don't see this being a CHR hit. Really? The beat is reminiscent of Timbaland, I think. It could very well be a good sized hit, if it gets pushed. Maybe it'll be like Use Somebody did last year.

Use Somebody and this one are two completely different animals. Use Somebody was a power ballad. I think Uprising was their best shot at CHR success this era. But, they are in a great position to shoot at CHR next era.

I think this could have a shot at crossing over to CHR. It's definitely got a pop sensibility in the production.

I love this song. It was the instant standout on the album to me. I don't see it smashing up CHR though or even really doing anything. Maybe if it had been pushed earlier, but at this point I doubt they will pour the money and attention into it needed for an alternative band like Muse to flirt with top 30 on pop right now.

Best song on the new album, so I'd be all for more songs like it from the group.
I thought "NSC" was easily their worst single, and it falling quickly while the first two Resistance singles are still ahead is a good indication that it's viewed that way.

Personally I've come to the conclusion that although I like parts of this album it is nowhere near as good as previous efforts in terms of what the legacy is so far. Undisclosed Desires was alright at first for me but faded rather quickly and I'm so tired of it now I could care less where it peaks.
The biggest problem with NSC was that it takes too long to get anywhere. It starts off pretty boring and when it finally gets to anything remotely interesting I've lost interest.
I love Muse, don't get my wrong and I even "like" the newest album, I just don't love it the way I do the other stuff.

But still, there were 4 Muse songs on the chart yesterday.

I've changed my verdict on this one. This one will be a CHR hit easily.
