Reapers Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I just so badly want it to be released as a single, and it to be Muse's biggest hit ever; break into the Top 40 mainstream and everything. God, that would be hilarious. They already hit the top 40. 22 times in fact. 4 of which were in the top 10. http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/4712/muse/ Shinfo of the day.

serpentsatellite Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry, I should have specified I meant in the US. Madness had a tiny bit of success there, but it was largely confined to more "adult alternative" outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapers Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh right. I thought they'd be as big in America as they are here in the UK by now. Never even realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeterna Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh right. I thought they'd be as big in America as they are here in the UK by now. Never even realised. Yeah, I thought Uprising hit #1 in the US too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Nope. Sadly when I mention Muse here in the states half of the people won't know them, a quarter will probably remember them from Twilight (ugh) or from Guitar Hero (this is why I love guitar hero), and the other quarter will know them from their couple of actual hits: Uprising and Madness (and maybe Dead Inside if it picks up just a bit more speed). All of those numbers taken approximately, this leaves a rather small percentage of people I mention Muse to who not only know the hits, but know the other (often better) stuff as well. When Drones hit number 1 for a week on the Billboard 200, I was insanely happy and surprised, especially considering DI has only received about as much airplay as PS did a couple years ago rather than the amount that Madness and Uprising got and continue to get.

serpentsatellite Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, I thought Uprising hit #1 in the US too. Uprising briefly hit #2 on the Rock charts in the US, but wasn't as successful as Madness. We compartmentalize our charts and radio stations to such a ridiculous degree that a song can be #1 on one of the charts (like alternative, etc) and not even be played on a major market radio station in some regions.

LewisF Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) It's not really it's still the most horrible chorus Muse have ever done What do you class as the chorus? "You've got strength" etc, or "you can revolt"? I really love the latter Edited July 14, 2015 by LewisF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting into a discussion with someone on here a small while back who said that Muse hits are bigger in America, because I said that most people here only know a couple of songs and Uprising is the most popular, to which they said that Muse's hits are more popular over there and Madness is known by many. Everyone's heard of Muse that I know. It's like Arctic Monkeys. I grew up with them being quite big and popular, but found that it's actually more a British thing because whenever they're brought up on the Internet people have no idea who they are.

I'd say an European thing, everyone knows Muse in Italy too. And I guess in places like Germany and France it's the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeterna Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yes, they're widely known in Italy, but I've learned that many despise them. How? I mean, I can imagine a few disliking them, but many despising them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) How? I mean, I can imagine a few disliking them, but many despising them? I am surprised that you're surprised about that (sorry for the joke)... But yeah, I think it's like in USA: lots of people love them (like me), but there also are many "snob" listeners and experts who cathegorically turn them down. EDIT: Now that I've read my post above, I've realised that in fact "despise" is a really strong term to use... I suppose I've used that to get to the point more dramatically.

ArtsyChick Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Whomever posted that Defector is a worse song... I agree. To me, Defector is what Revolt is to many people in this thread: I don't really love it, although it's become kinda catchy. Revolt, though - man, I really do love that song. I don't care if the band intended for it to be cheesy or "jokey" as some have said. I don't expect deep, provocative emotions from every piece they write. But, as I've said (maybe not here though), it could just be that Revolt speaks to my inner '80s teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
