Love Remains The Same (Gavin Rossdale)
Enemies (Ryan Cabrera)
Eve (Bell X1)
Mercy (Duffy)
Why is Lifehouse releasing "Broken" .... that already charted after getting played on some tv show or something. They need to release "Storm." they also need to not take months in between singles. They're album is already off the top 200 (or close).

That's What You Get (Paramore)
A year after the success of its Grammy Award-nominated smash debut, Riot, Franklin, TN, quintet Paramore continues to churn out potential hits. Third single That's What You Get slams into pop / rock perfection with an infectious guitar hook and danceable beat. The stunning vocal on That's What You Get is a perfect fit for lead singer Hayley Williams; and for radio, as a stop-and-start instrumental hook solidifies what could be the power-pop band's tour de force signature anthem.
Billboard has reviewed 'Better In Time', so I thought I would post the review if you don't mind
Quote:
Five months ago we loftily predicted that Leona Lewis was destined to become the top newcomer of the year. But who could have seen the overwhelming force field of "Bleeding Love," striking through playlist records at top 40, adult top 40, AC, rhythmic, even Latin? Now it's time to let go—before the song burns to a crisp—and rest assured, there are plenty more high achievers on No. 1 CD "Spirit." "Better in Time" is of equal caliber to its predecessor, with a one-listen hook, elegant chug-along melody, a lyric about healing ("Thought I couldn't live without you/It's gonna hurt when it heals too") and Lewis' unquestionably emotive vocal versatility. "Better" is as good as "Bleeding" and an equal bid for No. 1. Girl, start clearing room for a 2009 Grammy sweep. —Chuck Taylor
^Awesome review Although I do think this was posted a while ago. Oh well, the "Bleeding Love" review was my favorite when they referred to it as a "Collosal, and timeless debut" They really love Leona
Use Me (Hinder)
Like many of its wild-haired heroes of the '80s, rock outfit Hinder achieved mainstream success thanks to a pop-smart power ballad. Two years after Lips Of An Angel, a top five Billboard Hot 100 hit that fueled a country version by Jack Ingram, the Oklahoma quintet returns with a raw, bluesy sleaze-rock track whose Jack Daniels-soaked live sound is more destined for dive bars than arenas. Use Me, the first single from forthcoming sophomore set Take It To The Limit," is packed with testosterone-heavy lyrics and chunky, AC/DC-like guitars, but its old-school party-rock chorus, which rhymes "whole lotta love" with "never enough," falls ever so slightly short.
Believe (Staind)
There's no need to ask if Staind's Believe will be a hit: after a mere four weeks the song is already #9 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and the Massachusetts band's track record of airplay smashes further renders the point moot. The lead single from upcoming album The Illusion Of Progress (due 08.19) is another earnest plea for acceptance and understanding whose appealing dynamic follows Staind's now-pat power balladry formula of soothing verse and crashing chorus. The group outlasted the new metal trend because of its talent for creating intense, brooding rock, so it's not hard to Believe that the track's parent album is destined for the same platinum fate as its three predecessors.
Psychosocial (Slipknot)
Between its hiatus since 2004's Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses and headliner status on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival, Slipknot's upcoming album All Hope Is Gone already has a lock for a strong (if not #1) debut. Nonetheless, the masked metallers took out extra insurance with lead single Psychosocial. Once it gets past the cliche intro, the track instantly induces headbanging with a relentless thrash guitar hook and lockstep beat that will set the band's Maggots to marching. Rock go-to producer Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvanye) smooths out the crunchy riffage just enough for the track to go down easier at radio, not that it needed any help. With guitars sawing, drums pummeling and vocals snarling, Psychosocial is all that modern metal hopes to be.
