Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I don't see this tune being good enough to make #1. I think the reason it reached number one is because of STP's past reputation. I also think that is why Between the Lines reached number one. I don't think this will get any airtime after another few months.

I've heard Out Of Time on the radio a few times. I literally never heard Between The Lines once, no clue how it got to number 1.

This says they're at #2.

This says they were at #2 last week. The "this week" column lists them at #1.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I don't see this tune being good enough to make #1. I think the reason it reached number one is because of STP's past reputation. I also think that is why Between the Lines reached number one. I don't think this will get any airtime after another few months.

If this doesn't "deserve" to be #1, then what song on that list does?

The charts aren't about being the best song a band has ever released... It's about what songs are played most on the radio for a given week.

Given the lack of solid competition right now, I can easily see why Out of Time is at the top of the charts. That's not to say it's not a great song... Just that you can't argue it shouldn't be #1 just because it's not quite Interstate Love Song.

I remember hearing BTL quite a bit its first 2-3 months out there, but never after that.

The real test will be if they can have another radio hit off the EP.

I understand what you're saying, Blue. However, just because everything else on radio is junk doesn't necessarily mean the tune is #1 material. Essentially it's like being in a class filled with individuals who all have an IQ of 80 and calling yourself a genius just because you're of average intelligence. It makes the tune seem better than it really is. Hey it reached #1, but it reached it by default more than anything else in my opinion.

No, it’s not. It’s like being in a class filled with individuals with an IQ of 80 and calling yourself the smartest one in the room. Which you absolutely would be.

It's number one compared to complete garbage. If it goes up against anything decent I highly doubt it's number one. For example, I'm 23 years old and a decent basketball player. So if I go to a local playground and play with middle school children does that make me better than them. Technically, I am better than them but I should be. That doesn't mean I'm a a really good player. It simply means my competition sucks.

Yeah but that doesn't necessarily translate to being smart.
