I'll pray for it :lol:

SB deserves a place in the top 40 more than KYE and 21 Guns did.

In your opinion, is now too early to see it in the Hot 100?

You can see which stations recently played still breathing here http://onlineradiobox.com/track/504549935830232551/ they dont play it that much outside of US and Germany.But it's still gaining airplay which is good 😄

I think this song will be a disappointment if it doesn't crack the Hot 100. It's literally designed to be a Top 40 song.

If it was gonna be a Hot 100 song, would it not have done so already? Is it too late for it to get into the Hot 100?

Should we compare it with 21 Guns, Holiday or any non-lead single charted in the Hot 100? How did they take to get on the chart? Music world has changed, so it wouldn't be much accurate IMO...

Apparently Oh Love charted at No. 97 on September 1, a month and a half after it was released as a single on July 16. SB was released as a single on November 12, so it's been a month and 9 days since then. I guess it still has some time although it hasn't even charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart yet

So this means it's not even in the top 125! I am still hopeful. Maybe next week it'll chart on that. If not the world is officially SHIT.

Oh Love had mass appeal since it was a love song, and had rock elements. While SB may also have a broad, accessible message, the music itself just seems like a Daughtry rip-off. The song doesn't even sound like GD, but rather some generic pop rock band- it doesn't feel "unique" at all.

I heard Still Breathing on rock radio finally and it sounded better for some reason. I know radio stations compress tracks and add bass, and with that extra "oomph" it felt faster and stronger. Still don't particularly care for the song. It doesn't reduce me to tears like 99% of people here. Lyrics just feel generic and so does the melody.

Man, I feel like it's a very watered down version of Boulevard.

I wouldn't insult Blvd. This is a paint by numbers pop song with heavy drums and a bit of guitar thrown in. Imo the worst thing they've ever, ever done. They clearly thought it would be a cheap and easy radio hit and had no problems with the potential of alienating fans who actually like punk or rock :lol:

It's the one bit of justice I've seen in the charts. :P

I wonder JB if it's following a similar path that Boulevard of Broken Dreams did. I heard that for a long time on the alternative station before it crossed over to Top 40, and Green Day was not a Top 40 band prior to that. Also, 7 weeks is a very short time on alternative radio. If you look at all of the other top 10 on that chart, they've been out literally for months. With JB being at #4 already at just 7 weeks, I think it will hit #1 pretty quickly on alternative and maybe rock charts. Once it's played to death on those charts, I'm hoping since it's so accessible it will then cross over.

Over what? Having a differing opinion?

The complaint for it sounding too pop is horrible. The typical "punk" rock fan complaining about this shit is so laughable.

BoBD and WMUWSE were both poppy, but they had substance. SB just sounds like a song that is formulated to be a radio hit, there's no meat or purpose. Ironically, the song isn't a hit.

Mostly the lyrics. 

Dear Jake,

Write a song that is better than SB.  If you can't, you're less than generic.  I poop on you.

I know, however, he may be working on a song right now...  let's give him a benefit of doubt and see if he can come up with some beautiful, sexy lyrics.  Let's give him some time.  I won't hold my breath cuz I'm SB.  Get it?  See what I did there?  Ahh, Tresexy101, you're so dumb it's funny.

Every musician has standards for their lyrics and their music. If they didn't, they would just release everything they make. 

Or should of said you guys have such extreme standards when it comes to music

Billies standards?  Have you listened to most of the Trilogy?  I still wanna know who the fuck is Juliana Homicide.  Still Breathing is a great tune in my opinion.  I love you.  Peace and love.
