Billboard Top 200 Albums Minutes To Midnight - #47 (Last week - #46) Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Bleed It Out - #6 (Last week - #4) Shadow of the Day - #11 (Last week - #14) Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks Bleed It Out - #9 (Last week - #10) Minutes To Midnight is on the verge of dipping out of the top fifty spots on the Top 200 Albums charts, and will do so unless "Shadow of the Day" starts picking up airplay on Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock radio. Speaking of which, SOTD jumped three spots to #11 on the Modern Rock charts but hasn't cracked the top twenty on the Mainstream Rock tallies.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I honestly haven't even heard SOTD on the radio around here yet, but I rarely listen to the radio anyway. As for MTM, I honestly didn't think it would do as well as it has been doing. I figured it would fall out of the charts in 3-4 months, but it's still in the top 50 after 6 months. Not too shabby.
Over here in Vancouver, SOTD has been getting a lot of radio play. Personally though, not my favourite track off the album. I think that No More Sorrow, and Leave Out All The Rest would help out the band a lot more.
yeah, i would love to see a "Given Up" video, lol..that would be cool, yet different to see the violent side of Linkin Park..and "No More Sorrow" should be the single for next year since the presidential election will be up then.
Even though they're down one spot on the chart, their sales actually increased a bit from last week (from 17,521 to 17,954). Also, SOTD was just released a month ago and it's still climbing the charts. It takes time before a song makes enough of an impression on radio to affect album sales, especially if that song doesn't fly up the charts right out of the gate. Not every song they release can become an instant hit. SOTD is just now starting to increase in downloads and it just debuted on the Hot 100. I wouldn't write it off unless it starts entering the top-10 of at least two formats and MtM still doesn't see an improvement. The upcoming holiday shopping season should increase sales, and if SOTD becomes a hit, it may help reduce the dive the album takes during the January sales slump. Anything beyond that depends on how their remaining singles do. In my opinion, the best songs on MtM are still waiting to be released.
French radios play SOTD a lot more than the two other singles but it doesn't seem to change the album sales. However I think Given Up or NMS could really boost the sales.
yeah given up should be the next one, though i would love to see a video for in pieces honestly, i didnt like SOTD at first but its realy grown on me,, speciall y after the cool video
In Australia, SOTD is doing a littl bit better than that actually. It was #5 of Nova last night and it doesn't even get played that much. I think people might start to see it here as the new "Numb" *shudders and prays the radio to not kill a cool song*.
No more sorrow could make a good run on the modern rock charts but leave out all the rest could either score a top 40 hit or be a complete bust so it's a risk
damn. i realised that lp have said theyre having leave out all the rest as a single. so looks like maybe in pieces nor given up would be a single unless of course they do more then 4 singles. i dunno.
