It's at 25 now.

BTW, if you're interested, Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober is the 25.

I think it's high time they got those conical hats out of storage.

Rubbish choice of single. Out of the top 75 next week.

They mentioned Fundamental and Concrete

Good tune, but bad choice for a single. I think we all knew it wouldn't exactly storm the charts.

Hope that doesn't stop a 4th single though.

its better than Was It Worth It? #24 and he announced an european tour in january 2007. Thats the highlights!

Chances for a 4th single are over now. PSB ruined those chances themselves, by allowing Numb to be mutilated.

I shaked my head in disbelief when I first heard the radio edit, I just did the same when I heard the chart entrance on BBC Radio 1. Then I switched off the internet player. I cannot stand that Numb edit anymore.

Given the fact that Was it worth it? was exactly the same version as the one on the multi-selling Discography, that #24 is not half as bad as the result of Numb.

Some lessons:
- Never mutilate a great song to get more radio airplay; if it needs to be cut down SO radically, isn't probably not single material
- Write your own songs, you don't need Diane Warren
- Put something valuable on your cd's, rather than a live version of West End Girls; out on Concrete, one week later.
