Re: "Better" starting to gain MASSIVE steam..
I agree it's not massive, but most people here have no clue how singles move up the charts. Singles do not debut in the top 10 unless they are a highly anticipated first single from a release, like CD.
Look at those charts. Why do you think songs in the top 10 have been on the charts for 15-20, even 30 weeks? Because they all take slow climbs up and slow climbs back down.
That said, I have no expectation for Better. Whatever happens is bonus, but the proclamation of it being DOA always was wrong. It's just not how singles charts work. Singles charts don't work like album charts. Albums debut high and almost never debut low and climb up.

Better's promotion has been piss poor. It has the potential to be a big hit, not just a moderate hit. It is catchier than a lot of the garbage that is getting played over and over on rock stations across the country, like that annoying ass "Bad Girlfriend" song, which sounds like a rip-off of one of the Cult's guitar riffs mixed with Nickelback's garbage lyrics and vocals.

97.9X, the station that I work for/with - is still playing both. "Better" has been one of the most requested songs ever since it debuted. It's been a "Buzzcut" ever since.

Also - the negativity here and everywhere else in general is getting really fucking annoying.
If I'm not around that often anymore, don't be surprised. It's a fucking buzzkill.

You should post in the off topic sections. We have more fun in those. GN'R, on the other hand, is a fucking disaster no two ways about it.

Glad someone also sees that "Bad Girlfriend" is a complete ripoff of "Firewoman" by the Cult!:rolleyes:
