Use Your Illusion I (1991)
« on: October 21, 2008, 10:27:02 PM »
Well, what do you guys think the song will do on the formats?

I say it hits #1 on the mainstream and modern rock charts for sure.

It may crack the top 40 even, but it's very hard to do... especially if it isn't a rap song.

Lets make this single a statement for the band!

Now I didn't meant it would debut @ #1 on those charts...

Debut... 14 or 15 on the rock charts

I can't wait for the day when my friends and the rest of White America accept the fact that acting black will not make them black.

Here's to hoping for CD's placement at #1 beer

Its something different and will be a big surprise

Im not sure where CD will end up but I think its a success if it can hold down the fort until the big guns are released with the 2nd and 3rd single.

If CD can just keep everyone interested then this album will be absolutely huge .

After thinking about it,I think it makes more sense to hold the big guns back until the album drops

#1 on Mainstream Rock

Top 5-10 on Modern Rock

Not sure about the top 100 type stations.  CD might not be the song that does that, but I'm sure the follow ups will climb high on those charts

CD is a great single for rock radio which is obviously the core audience they want to reach with the first single.  Songs like Better, The Blues, Prostitute, those are the ones that will be hits on pop radio.  CD might be too heavy and mean for those stations but who cares?  It's an awesome "guess who's back" type of single

It's a smart, old school strategy.  Too many bands or musicians in general release their best chance for a big hit single first, which is a short sighted move for a band this established.  The album is going to sell shitloads in the first month.  They need the mainstream mega-hit singles for the second, third, fourth singles.  CD will be a big hit on the rock format and announce the return of GnR
