It's at 25 now. :wink:

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.

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.

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.
