I noticed it moved up a spot this week on Billboard from #6 to #5..

Nice to see 3 months later it still has staying power amongst popular music.

    Will all the airplay The Fixer (And Check My Brain, speaking of popular rock songs), I have not met one person who knows either of the songs in my High School. I hate it.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    Just to clarify, you are talking about the "Rock" chart. I do agree that "The Fixer" seems to be holding up fairly well, although I wouldn't wait too long for the next single.

    On Billboard's "Hot 100" (overall/all genres) from the week of October 24th, here are its numbers...
    THIS WEEK: 93
    LAST WEEK'S POSITION: 66
    WEEKS ON CHART: 7
    PEAK POSITION: 56

    Yeah, looks like the album is slipping.. the Fixer has already sold about as much as it can. Time for a new single. I think Just Breathe can pull in a lot of contemporary, non-rock listeners.

    Well, the album is slipping... I heard it was down from #16 in Week 3 to #23 in Week 4 (approximately 20,000 sold this past week).

    And to clarify, the song charts have nothing to do with sales. Those rankings represent radio airplay. So in other words, "The Fixer" still ranks 6th in airplay on this week's alternative, mainstream rock and triple A radio stations (aka the "Rock" category).

    I'm still not convinced that "Just Breathe" is the answer. I feel it's just too soft. Maybe "Unthought Known" could hit more genres? Plus, a Letterman visit and an SNL appearance would be a nice little wave of marketing.

    If it makes you feel any more discouraged, I'm a junior in college, and its the same thing. Only there are more people who like other GOOD music, and not the high school morons in love with Fall Out Boy, Creed, etc.

    im finally at the point where i see the fixer as part of the album and not a song i played the shit out of this summer... and i love it!! a very overlooked song on here. if it werent the single- it would be the hidden gem.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
