Somewhere I Belong - A Hit?

[Methybrea]

I think from what I heard about the nature of the song (the riff and a bit of the sample at the end) That this one will be up there for quite a while! Please tell me what you think!

[Bryan]

I'm not sure, i'd need to hear the whole song before I could guess if it would be a huge hit or not.

[Methybrea]

True Chester... I just thought it will have good potential since I think I have a fairly good assessment of the 'nature' and mood of the song. It sounds like a softer, In The End type song. You know how popular that got!

Good point, tho, wait and see!

[Unchained]

i think it will be an awesome song and will be at the top for a while but... i think it will be overplayed. but if you're like me, you can NEVER get tired of the LP songz.. but there are some people that can.. poor, lost souls...

[Methybrea]

Yeah, its unfortunate... Some people really hate when a good song becomes a single and gets overplayed. I am not really that type of person, so it won't matter to me!

there's no need to bump this, it's not going off the page anytime soon.

this seems liek a more rock-ish song to me. in canada, only ITE went high up the charts because they're filled with rap and pop. it'll be good enough to be atop the charts for 2-3 weeks.

[Hybrid Soldier]

this one will be a smash....the lptv sample was kewl

[Ent0303]

I think just because of the anticipation of their new album, the single will be a hit instantly. It will finally be something new from Linkin Park and everyone will love that fact. And I think the radio stations will play it a lot, and that will get it a lot of exposure.

[Rybullet]

It'll be big as it is not HARD rock so it can go mainstream like in the end..

[hy8r1d7h30ry]

I had rather it be more like, By myself or Forgotten, something with more rock. If it's like In the end, people will think LP a pop band.

[Amy]

i think it will be a big hit. in Australia, every song that was released from LP was a hit... so i dont think this one will be any different

[mirtheory]

It'll be a hit, but not for a while, coz rock songs are neva at the top for a long time, law of nature, pop is always on top( unfourtinatly)

[*LiNkIn WiTcHy*]

i think its goin to be a hit in the rockcharts, not in a other chart
because most people dont like this sort of music everyone likes pop

[Unchained]

i go to a lot of different places to order cds and alot Linkin Park is listed under pop.. so you never know it could make it on the pop charts..

[Detri]

If people like it, it's pop.

As long as people like Linkin Park, they will be considered pop.

Although the true definition of pop is something totally different. I think it'll be on top for a few weeks, but I believe the biggest hit will be the third or second single, like on Hybrid Theory.

[Methybrea]

I agree with Detri. Pop is a style of music, and you just can't blandly put a band in the mix with all the pop bands out there. Sure many people like it but that doesn't mean they are a pop band. Pop deals with light singing and synthesized sounds, and show me a music video were you see one of N'Sync jamming on a guitar or screaming like Chester! Of course, they are popular, not pop, because LP is such a great band that is gonna kick ass with Meteora! B)
