Yes Sir!!!! Just imagine how more successful it would be if promoted properly…I still think it could cross over to top 40

Not on the Billboard charts, no.  That was some other chart.

[billy1986]

Well let’s get this number 1 on all the rock charts….just imagine if they promoted it…

#1 across the board! Woot!!

[billy1986]

Another #1 across rock radio for our boys. Hopefully this gets some crossover play on top 40 along with maybe Suzie Chapstick/Father To A Son…2 songs I think could have crossover appeal and be released as a single/s before the tour starts…hopefully with Dilemma and TADIKM being successful Saviors can get some Grammy recognition

I think Father to a Son has too mich instrumental and too few vocals to be played in radio

[Montclare]

New peak of 38 on the Hot Rock and Alternative chart.

While I enjoy both songs, I think the only remaining song that could be a single is 1981. However, I don’t think we can expect any songs from Saviors getting the single treatment at this point 

[billy1986]

If it’s #1 across the board how is it only #38 on the hot rock/alternative charts??

Correct.  And downloading/buying.

I could see Bobby Sox coming back for the summer.  I could see it being a Pride thing.  It did briefly chart when the album came out, but wasn't pushed then.

I can see this happening, not just with all of the pride stuff, it is also a great summer song. In general. 

[billy1986]

Goodnight Adeline and Suzie Chapsticks sound like summer songs to me maybe even Coma City

I will never understand why they have not promoted this song with some tv/live appearances 

[The Grohl]

So disappointed that we never got a proper late night performance.

[GreenDayJunkie86]

This song should definitely be in some alcohol commercials as an advertisement.
