GUNS N' ROSES' 'Chinese Democracy' Single Best 'Mainstream Rock' Debut Since 'Don't Cry' - Oct. 31, 2008

According to Billboard.biz, GUNS N' ROSES' new single, "Chinese Democracy", has made a splashy bow across a bevy of Billboard's and Radio and Records' rock airplay charts ? after only five days of airplay. It debuts at No. 12 on Mainstream Rock, No. 15 on Active Rock, No. 37 on Modern Rock and No. 7 on Rock. On Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, which began in 1981, it's the band's best debut since 1991 when "Don't Cry" opened at No. 4.

It says it's the band's best debut for a single since Don't Cry, not the best debut for a single in the history of the chart.

AIR POWER MOTHERFUCKERS!

Whatever "Air Power" means.

I'm thinking that it was the most played song on the radio this past week.

it would be cool if only I didnt have to hear the DJs complaining about it when the play it...

I remember the anticipation of Don't Cry finally being played on the radio..I bought the single the day before I got the UYI set..Thinking the alt. version was a b-side/bonus track that wasn't going to be included on the albums..
