Fever peaked at 18.644 million/#106. The song was not as strong as Active Rock as Something for Nothing, but it also had support at all four Rock sub-genres. I would like to know what Radioactive had at its peak at just Rock Radio.
It has been almost ten years since the last song topped all four Rock Charts at one time. In early 2005, Green Day topped Active, Alternative, Heritage, and AAA all at the same time with "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Then that song went on to hit #1 at Top 40 and Hot AC, and scraped the bottom part of the AC chart.
Why can't real Rock songs cross over to the Pop formats now? Radioactive is the best we've done this decade. Aren't the Four Pop Formats (Top 40/Hot AC/AC/Rhythmic) supposed to play a little from every format?
Considering how Pop Alternative has gone, I'm surprised Foo Fighters have topped the spins chart at that format (still #3 in impressions. which is how I rank the songs). I remember listening to Active Rock, Alternative Rock, and Country because I knew all three of those formats always used real instruments. Well now that's only true for Active Rock.
