After the disapponting efforts of "When We Stand Together," this is the new single from Here & Now. It is now charting on Hot AC: 45 38 NICKELBACK Lullaby Roadrunner/RRP 2011 252 155 97 It deserves to be huge, but I have a feeling it won't be.

This is better than the lead single. Well for HAC standard, i think top 5 is a safe bet. (well,i actually never follow this format, so i could be superwrong).

^Normally it would be, but something weird is going on with Hot AC right now. I thought "When We Stand Together," "Crawling Back To You" and "Heartbeat" were all locks for the top 5 and would likely compete for the top spot. That of course didn't happen. The fact that a lead single from Nickelback missed the top 10 is still shocking to me.

How many songs did Nickelback had on HAC format?
Do you think the listeners are sick of the nickelback sound that is out like forever?

^Nickelback have had eleven top ten hits on Hot AC, including five #1s (Photograph, Savin' Me, Far Away, If Everyone Cared and Gotta Be Somebody). I think people being sick of them and their sound could have a lot to do with it, even though the lead single was a new sound for them. With this song, it probably sounds too much like "Far Away" and "Never Gonna Be Alone."

I definitely agree that this is practically a "Far Away" clone, hence why I haven't been able to get into this as much as their past work as I'm still burned out on that sound from them.

I'm not sure that's completely true for Hot AC, just cause Crawling Back To You by Daughtry didn't plummet off the chart after 14 weeks like When We Stand Together did Also, Hot AC is replaying a lot of older Nickelback songs

For a band with such universal hate, I doubt it'll be their first, unfortunately.

We Stand Together peaked at #12.... I wouldn't call that a flop but more a under performance.

Well lyrically, "when we stand together" and "lullaby" is weaker (sounds like clones too)when it compares to their old stuff. To me, musically they have the same sound for a long time already too.

This song is taking its while to catch on, but up here it's more or less flopping. Which I wouldn't have realized because our 2 Pop stations play it more than anyone else.

Wow, Chad Kroeger looks like a completely different person nowadays. The video doesn't do anything for me, but it's alright I guess.

That's the most boring Nickelback video I've ever seen - they must be going broke...

^They must have sunk their budget into Chad Kroger's cosmetic procedures...
