This is the follow-up to the huge #1 smash "Rope," and it is now impacting Alternative: 47 31 FOO FIGHTERS Walk Roswell/RCA/RMG 2011 315 118 197 As much as I dig that video...this song just doesn't do it for me. I feel like these guys are in a slump right now.

This is already top 20 on alternative:
31 17 FOO FIGHTERS Walk Roswell/RCA/RMG 2011 663 315 348
On Active: 43 21 FOO FIGHTERS Walk Roswell/RCA/RMG 2011 509 160 349
I still can't get into this one, but I love the fact that the video seems to compare Justin Bieber to George Bush to Coldplay. ;D

I'll admit it's not one of their best, and also not one of the best songs on the album, but I still like this a lot. I hope "These Days" or "I Should Have Known" is next.

This is pretty decent, but honestly, not one of my favourites from them.

I don't care for this, but it's a better second single than "Long Road To Ruin".

^I think "Long Road To Ruin" was a lot better, lol.
I'm finding them to be pretty annoying at this point. The only reason this is doing as well as it is (#6 Alt, #11 Active) is because of who sings it.

Yeah LRTR > This.
I really wouldn't have chosen this as the second single to be honest.

^I guess this felt like a "safe" choice or something, because it's sure doing well.
Top 5 On Alternative: 8 4 FOO FIGHTERS Walk Roswell/RCA/RMG 2011 1243 1130 113
Top 10 On Active: 15 10 FOO FIGHTERS Walk Roswell/RCA/RMG 2011 1063 900 163

The only reason this is doing as well as it is (#6 Alt, #11 Active) is because of who sings it. Ozzy Osbourne had a #1 hit last year, so someone with name recognition will always get played because of it.

^Yeah, but for Ozzy it's just been two lead singles that were three years apart. With the Foo Fighters, it's like nearly every single they release goes top 5 on all rock charts.

Just my two cents here, but...
Not only was "You Are A Tourist" a far better song than this, but it fit in very well with the current climate of Alt radio. For all of the progress the format has made by putting indie bands in top rotation, they are still relying on some of the "old guard" to carry them. Linkin Park reinvented themselves, but for some reason Foo Fighters can't. Dave Grohl can play everything from death metal to acoustic rock, so I find it disappointing that such a bland and unoriginal song is one of the main selling points of their album.
