Been away for a while...had to take in the U2360 show in Atlanta with my 10-year old daughter. Great concert, great seats, and great crowd around us.
Anyway, Crazy Tonight seems finished as it's faded from all mediabase radio-play charts outside of Adult Rock, where it's still in the Top 10. The video probably exceeded expectations, though, as it's still in the Top 40 on VH1, is up from 6 to 5 on MTV2, and is also still in the Top 40 on Fuse TV.
Crazy is down from 39 to 46 on the Top 100 Hits Online chart, and it's been on the chart for 7 weeks. Magnificent falls off the chart this week, from 99 last week, after 27 weeks on the chart! The song had some staying power even though it was never a big "hit", except for Adult Rock, where it did reach #1.
In the Mediabase weekly update, published Monday, Moment of Surrender is on the "most added songs" chart, and it's officially up 20 spots from 93 to 73 in it's 2nd week on that chart. In looking through the playlist snapshots, though, for Adult Rock across the U.S., Crazy is still on most Top 20 charts of the monitored stations, and Boots, Magnificent, Stand Up Comedy, and MOS also show up randomly. MOS has been added to 9 stations, though, and that looks like more of a radio-release only single than stations just playing random album cuts due to the tour.
Rather than update specific charts around the U.S./world, I'll just check back in if MOS does make a significant move on the U.S. radio charts, or anywhere else, for that matter. The 3 official singles from NLOTH have done very well in France, and in fact, the last time I checked, all 3 songs were still in the French version of the "Billboard Hot 100", with Boots having something like a 38 week run. That was just last week I think.
In summary, looking through the various playlist snapshots on Adult Rock, Adult Top 40, Rock, and even Alternative, it's at least somewhat encouraging to see 5 to 6 songs from NLOTH getting played in the Top 20 in various markets across the country. The tour has obviously resulted in NLOTH getting some modest airplay in certain markets, and without a standout big hit, it looks like local DJ's are just picking out their preference of album cuts to put in their own rotation. I have not heard a radio edit of MOS, but if the song takes off, perhaps there will be an edited version released to U.S. radio that does not butcher the song and is the same for all stations. Or, even better, they just leave the song alone and play it in full. Here are a few interesting playlist snapshots from Mediabase for the week ending October 11:
