From what I remember obviously Good Riddance and Brain Stew were huge- and for lead singles, Hitchin A Ride had more buzz than BB in the States, anyway. Not that it means anything- BB is a better song than Hitchin'- but I am surprised it is already more popular given how huge and well received on radio Hitchin' was at the time. As shocking and as much of an impact Good Riddance has it never reached higher than #2 on the charts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Higher Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Guys, how do you understand the expression "world war zero" in Bang Bang's lyrics ? I get the idea but I can't figure it out clearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the idea but I can't figure it out clearly. I think it's a twist on the term "ground zero", which is apparently "the point on the Earth's surface closest to a detonation." So when he says it's world war zero, it means he's the one closest to starting a war at that current point in time. ....I think? Alternatively it could be a twist on 'patient zero', ie the first known person with a particular disease or syndrome etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance reached #2 and I am not sure about Hitchin. but it wasn't #1. Also, I wasn't doing first singles but all singles. 1 hour ago, Johnny Higher said: Guys, how do you understand the expression "world war zero" in Bang Bang's lyrics ?

JardyOfSuburbia Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I would love to know how B-sides and bonus tracks are selected for singles/albums. The Japan release of Dos had a live bonus track of Coming Clean which was interesting. I mean, Letterbomb (Live) has been a B-side before, but I seriously think they just throw a dart at all of their song titles and go with whatever one they hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitchin a Ride got up to #5. Geek Stink Breathe #3. Brainstew/Jaded #3. So you're right, those are some of their biggest hits, just not #1s. She, Warning and Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns and Oh Love are the rest of their songs that were in the top 5 somewhere. I've got to say, Brainstew is my least favorite single by them. Also, while I love BANG BANG, at the moment Hitchin a Ride is waaaaaay better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Chart peak numbers don't always point to huge success. It depends on what other songs are out and how long it remains on the charts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Top Mainstream Rock Songs is ranked by radio airplay detections on mainstream rock-formatted stations, as measured by Nielsen Music. Top Rock Songs is based on radio airplay audience impressions as measured by Nielsen Music, sales data as compiled by Nielsen Music and streaming activity data from online music sources tracked by Nielsen Music. Mainstream is simply airplay and Top rock songs is airplay, sales and surveys. So the fact that it is #1 in airplay, but #16 in top rock songs means that the sales numbers are low and the survey results are low. That doesn't sound good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the song is number one on airplay list, it's going to effect positively on sales and streamings. I think that sales aren't so reliable source on this day. Not many people buy specific songs separately. If it's gaining more airplay, more people is going to discover it via streaming services.
