As the title above this post suggests, the first retirements of The FreeWave Weekly are happening today! Three songs retire and they all have a very serious shot of taking #1 away from Muse! Will they do it? Find out below.

Retirement: 6/27/06(#5)
Lowest Point: #8(6/20/06)
Highest Point: #3(5/2/06)
Most Repeated Position: #5(Three Times)
Points: 57
Thoughts: If you haven't listened to this song yet, listen to the album version because it completely cuts out the ending in the radio version...and the end is arguably the best part in the song.
4) Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
Two Weeks | Peak: #3 | Low: #4 | -1
3) Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Ten Weeks | Peak: #1(Two Weeks) | Low: #4 | +1
Stats:
Debut: 4/25/06(#2)
Retirement: 6/27/06(#3)
Lowest Point: #4(6/20/06)
Highest Point: #1(5/9-5/16/06)
Most Repeated Position: #2(Four Times)
Points: 87
Thoughts: For the most part, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. It got to #1 for a few weeks, but it stalled out in the 2-4 area for the rest of its run. Which isn't bad at ALL, but it could have been better. Regardless, this is going to be the Hey Ya! of 2006 and it damn well deserves it.
2) Muse - Knights Of Cydonia
Two Weeks | Peak: #1(One Week) | Low: #2 | -1
1) Tool - Vicarious
Ten Weeks | Peak: #1(Fifth Week) | Low: #4 | +1
Stats:
Debut: 4/25/06(#1)
Retirement: 6/27/06(#1)
Lowest Point: #4(5/23/06)
Highest Point: #1(4/25-5/2/06, 6/6-6/13/06, 6/27/06)
Most Repeated Position: #1(Five Times)
Points: 91
Thoughts: In this day and age of parity and songs debuting near the top or at the top out of nowhere, "Vicarious" was able to get over 90 points. That is a huge accomplishment. Oh, and the fact that half of its time was spent at #1...yeah, that's pretty impressive, too.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Johnny, Steven, Reeces, Nick, laser(and a big thanks for the recommendations!) and Randy for recommending, requesting, commenting and all of that stuff. Also, I am looking into getting a logo for The FreeWave. If any of you have any ideas, just hit me up with them.
Until next time, try to catch the sun. It's almost impossible, but keep trying!
