I don't understand the appeal of half of the bands on that chart. Very mediocre.

It's radio. It's not meant to be for the best tracks of rock. Heck, we AB fans could beat any of those bands' fan on a poll like Rocktagons and Loudwire cage matches, but that doesn't really translate to #1 on active rock tracks.

Heck, the one band that did beat AB, one on one, in a poll is Dream Theater, yet, they don't have their main single on active rock charts and they have 3x the fanbase as AB so yeah. Radio doesn't mean that much, though it is nice to be #1 in anything.

I heard ATP at my gym tonight! Kinda weird hearing it there though, it's a college rec center that only plays EDM and Hip-Hop.

I've heard Ties that Bind at the gym recently and last week someone requested a song called broken wings (I guess from a different band) to sing kareoke to, and the DJ accidentally played AB's broken wings. It played for like 30 seconds before the drunk chick told the dj it was wrong. Still though, he had the song in his computer, which I thought was cool.

I played Overcome by Creed while the team was lifting the other day and they seemed to like that as well as Cry of Achilles. I think it depends on what setting you hear certain songs. Because the team was in the gym and scooped up on pre workout I think they just like any fast paced song

Just call the radio station.

I got the biggest rock station in Russia to play AB this summer. They played WOY and informed the whole audience about Fortress coming our way

Too bad.

On the other hand, I was so surprised when my request worked. For a wrong song though. :lol Whatevs

One way or another, I don't think AtP will repeat Isolation's success. But I wish it well.

Looks like it is, MLMC is a shitty song, just like the majority of 3DG's ToF. I'm pretty sure AB would prevail over those 'Lola Montez', 'Voices' and 'Deal With The Devil'. What shitty songs, man.

Also, crushing Shinedown's 'Adrenaline' shouldn't be a problem.

Go, ATP! :D :rockon

This is all great stuff, however, I think I foresee some unfortunate news that may prolong this track hitting #1. A7X's Shepherd of Fire is really blowing up pretty fast and may unfortunately hit #1 before Addicted to Pain does. Unless AB does a live performance on a late-night network show in the upcoming months.

Hopefully they can schedule something to coincide with their LA tour date. That would give this single a boost on almost the exact same schedule as "Isolation".
