Alter Bridge in top 20 for 2004!!!
 

ok guys and gals, didnt see this mentioned yet, but if it was sorry.

OK the news Open Your Eyes finished #19 for rock songs of 2004.

the top 5 for your curiosity were: 1.FIGURED YOU OUT Nickelback 2. SLITHER Velvet Revolver 3. COLD HARD BITCH Jet 4. JUST LIKE YOU Three Days Grace 5. COLD Crossfade

for the top 40 list, click here

that's pretty impressive, esp considering i didn't hear it on the radio all that often... certainly didn't stay on the alt-rock station in st. louis' playlist that long

What is the criteria for that list? Is it spins on radio or something? It can't be critical acclaim because Crossfade (No. 5) just plain sucks, along with a lot of the stuff on that list.

I agree, I'd like to know what Billboard took into consideration before making that list.

if its billboard it wouldn't be critical acclaim........how does that atrocious song from nickelback get most popular radio rock track?

Hahaha, I know. I don't like Nickelback. I don't like most of the groups listed...

i'm willing to bet that it's number of total spins nationwide according to Neilsen or whatever it is that tracks that stuff. I know that's what they use to keep track of all the weekly charts. If you take a look at the following list from the past week in Mainstream Rock singles, you'll notice at the bottom, following the list, it says:
"Airplay monitored by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. Songs ranked by number of detections."
so that might answer the question posed above by Teri

Hmmm, that's what I thought, and we all know how stuff gets play these days ;).

WHAT? I don't like any of those songs!

It's still cool that AB is getting play, though. I haven't listened to the radio in two years :D

Haha, me neither, but yes! :D Although I've heard the songs pretty many times here in Sweden.

i love three days grace - just like you, its good that alterbridge are on there though

seems like quite along time ago 3DG's debut album came out. looked it up, it was July '03. I remember hearing I Hate Everything About You around when it first came out, then nothing for quite a few months. Then I heard Home just this past fall or early winter... and I guess Just Like you was earlier in '04? Maybe it just seems like a long time b/c that was wayyyyyyyyy back before I had started college....

i love the 3dg album i didnt get it when it first came out coz i hadnt really heard much by them but when i went to florida last year they played some of their songs on the radio alot.:)

I didn't like the Three Days Grace at all...
