Have Godsmack seriously been #1 for that long? That's not what Billboard's website has been saying for the past couple of weeks. Regardless, that song is not good at all. It's very bland and predictable, but then again, that's what radio wants these days.
A little late on 30 Seconds to Mars, are we? That song was very below-average when it was new and now it's just blah. Lostprophets have a great new song out, and it's cool to see AFI doing well.
Hoobastank, need to give up, I think. "Inside of You" is okay but I'm not sure why--blah, I don't know. I'm not making sense right now. *_*

As always, calling a song good or bad is the opinion of the listener, not a fact. On the same token most songs on Active are crunching and predictable. But 12 weeks is almost unheard of on that format. I've enjoyed the 30 Seconds to Mars disc since its release, but The Kill wasn't my favorite choice for release. Glad to see it's gaining power though. Also happy to see Hoobastank release a true rocker like the old days.

But has "Speak" been there for 12 weeks? Seriously? Billboard.com are making a mistake for the #1 position on Mainstream Rock then, because Red Hot Chili Peppers have been there for awhile.

Not only that, but the Peppers are #1 on BOTH formats that Billboard counts for the "Mainstream Rock" chart. There's no way that Speak will be #1 next week.

I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but the Wednesday morning update of Billboard still shows Godsmack with a bullet at #1. True, the bullet is only +3. And everything else behind it all the way to Three Days Grace at #5 are losing spins. But yes, I would be pretty surprised if it maintains for 13 weeks. Unless something really sticks from Jet, Audioslave, or Metallica over the summer, Speak looks to be the most played song of 2006.

Um, not quite, doofus. Mediabase says otherwise:

Apples and oranges as they say. Luckily Billboard has nothing to do with the low-rent Mediabase. Don't tell me you drink the generic brand pops instead of Pepsi too? You get what you pay for with the free tracking services. Here's your real info from Billboard:
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 6:00 am
Active/Mainstream:
1 : Speak (Godsmack) 2011 spins (+3)
2 : Dani California (Red Hot Chili Peppers) 1977 spins (-5)
3 : Vicarious (Tool) 1892 spins (-27)
4 : Crazy Bitch (Buckcherry) 1770 spins (-11)
5 : Animal I Have Become (Three Days Grace) 1503 spins (+98)
All indications point to Speak dropping off pretty quickly. But I've been guessing that since it had its 9th week at #1. Somehow it just keeps going. I'd be VERY surprised if it logs 13 weeks atop. Glad to help.

I'd prefer to ask where you got this info from "Billboard". I assume the mag. Even so, it's not updated right at the moment like Mediabase is.
There are only two reliable radio readouts, and that's the ones from R&R and Mediabase. R&R has Speak at #1, but by only five spins. And TDG isn't #5, Korn is, even though it's close.

RHCP are #1 again, not Godsmack. Just give up already.

I'll let you read our posts again so you can figure out why your link has no relevance to the topic. Friday morning's update shows Dani California with 2 more spins than Speak. That should end the longest streak in a while. I'll see if I can find the last song to top this chart for 13 weeks.

Well, whatever man, I don't care. You can keep sounding like a smartass little bastard who has these lovely connections with Billboard RadioMonitor - and I love how you said our posts - Ryan's just about the only other person with the balls to stand up to some f‘cking dunce like you. Billboard Mainstream Rock shows RHCP at #1, not Godsmack. They can have all the spins in the f‘cking world, but Billboard.com does not show Godsmack at #1. I know, it's hard to take in all at once, but you'll live. You always go out of your way to make me look like an idiot, but I think everyone knows who that really is. So excuse me while I go get beat up by big, tough macho men at a Godsmack concert for wearing a Lacuna Coil shirt, that would just prove how cowardly those types of fans really are. Pathetic and idiotic, just like Godsmack's music.

Hold on, hold on. I know what Smash is talking about. He's apparently talking about Active Rock(*cough*Mediabase*cough*), not necessarily Album Rock, because Godsmack WAS still #1 until the Peppers just overtook them a few days ago. That's not a lie.
Billboard's "Mainstream Rock" chart combines both Active and Heritage/Album Rock into one, and THAT is why the Peppers are #1 on that chart, because the Peppers have a big enough lead on Album Rock radio that it coincides with their close #2 finish from the past chart week.
So yeah. Peppers WILL be #1 next week on Active Rock, though.

Soooo, when is school out for the kiddies for the summer? If you talked like an adult, we wouldn't make so much fun of you. So that's all on you. The Billboard RadioMonitor chart and the link you provided are not the same. You pointing out a completely different charting method does not make my 1st post wrong.
12 weeks at #1 is still 12 weeks on top. I'm proud a band I like could pull that off. You not liking that song won't change its success. That's something you'll have to deal with yourself. You seem to have a cornia each time you reply to me. Save your breath and stress. Just skip my messages, please. You quite obviously can't handle the content.

Again, you dumbf‘ck, who's we? I would really like to know. Unless you have split personalities, it's just you.
I really wouldn't care if Godsmack had 22 weeks on top, they've been out of ideas since the second album and honestly, I hear no change or growth in the music after that. It's the same **** everytime, and bands like that eventually die out in the long run (Staind are on their way, thankfully.) Then again, that's more than half the bands who hit #1 on Active Rock/Mainstream Rock.
If you want to limit success to chart positions, tell me how much Godsmack sold when they debuted at #1, and then tell me the same for Tool. Hell, even Pearl Jam sold more than Godsmack, and they were #2. Red Hot Chili Peppers? Definitely sold more than Godsmack in the first week. Even without those sales, all of those bands are bigger than Godsmack and everyone knows it. And, dude, Billboard RadioMonitor, nobody gives a f‘ck about! I don't see that listed with Billboard Mainstream or Modern Rock. Those are the charts everyone follows, last time I checked.
Ha. I love how you make such a big deal about everything I say. I think you're the one who should skip my messages and move on, because the replies I get from you are f‘cking hilarious. I'm sorry, but I'm not having a cornia or anything remotely close; I'm quite fine, actually. You can keep living in your fantasy world of hearing Tool songs before anybody else, and assuming someone's a 'sissy' or a 'crybaby' because they don't like your ****** music. The rest of us will continue to laugh at you.
Oh--and until they find some inspiration to experiment and evolve, Godsmack still suck.

Relax, you're going to have a heart attack. You obviously can't handle my messages, as stated earlier. I don't equate good music to chart success. But I do know Godsmack has more #1 singles than Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers. And they have more #1 albums than Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that's inconsequential. It's the music that counts. Don't listen to music you don't like and save yourself stress. Chill out, kid. We're just having fun with you because you make it so easy. Grow up and you can join in. Enjoy life, don't cry all of time! It's too short to be a baby. You'll regret it if you don't.
Billboard RadioMonitor is the only source Billboard magazine uses for its charts. So I'm not sure what your complaint there is. You wouldn't have any Billboard airplay charts without RadioMonitor. If you need more details, I'd be glad to explain them to you in an adult way. Just ask. Please count to 10 before replying, or the laughter you'll hear will be at your expense. Godsmack sucks in your opinion. You've made that clear at least twice on these boards. So please don't listen to them. Luckily your opinion won't take away any of their success. That's the hard part you're not going to get over. Sorry for that.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, time to make you look like a jackass again.
Ha, Godsmack have more #1 singles than Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Godsmack: "Awake", "I Stand Alone", "Straight out of Line", and "Speak". 4.
RHCP: "My Friends", "Scar Tissue", "Californication", "By the Way", and "Dani California". 5.
Pearl Jam: "Daughter", "Better Man", "Given to Fly". 3.
That's Mainstream Rock because Godsmack haven't come close to #1 on Modern Rock to begin with. [At least that format has a little sense sometimes.] And if you have an issue with RHCP having only one more #1 single than Godsmack, Godsmack have only one more #1 album than RHCP, not to mention only one more #1 single than Pearl Jam, so I don't know what you're trying to prove here.
Based on music alone--you'd get laughed at if you think Godsmack is the better band of the 3. Common sense. RHCP and PJ are both very influential, respected, and have been around for at least 15 years [in the mainstream.] I'm not gonna say anything about Godsmack, because there really isn't anything to say at all!
LOL. Kid! Wow, you're even tougher now! I'm sorry, but now you truly are a joke. "Grow up," "don't cry", "baby" - that's exactly what I was talking about. Everytime I disagree with something you say, you assume all these ridiculous things. I'm gonna have a heart attack over some loser who is nothing but a username to me. Righttt. And once again, who is we? It's just you and the dustbunnies under your keyboard as far as I'm concerned.
