Shadow of your love peaked at#5 Is that Billboard or what? I tried to access their chart and it appears they may be charging for info now. Anyways some other radio charts about the opening week for the song: #30 on IHeartRadio Active Rock List: https://news.iheart.com/featured/charts/active-rock/ #24 on Mediabase Active Rock List: http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/allaboutcountry/Charts.asp?format=R2R Edit: Actually it appears you can access the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart from the below link. HS is at #29 on that for its first week: Edited September 30, 2021 by Martin Riggs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were sceptical when Slash announced months ago that GNR are working on new music but then they mentioned the release of Absurd, even teased it for a few seconds, before airing HS.

rocknroll41 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Who here updated Wikipedia to make it look like Hard Skool is an EP? The 12-inch WttJ maxi single had four tracks too (three of them live tracks). Was that really an EP all this time also? I get that HardSkool has a bunch of merch around it and whatnot, but still… Edited October 1, 2021 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my fun removing the "Alternative Nation's Brett Buchanan" line on the page and the clickbate fucker keeps putting it back as if he's a credible writer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I don't think people use the term maxi single anymore tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the old maxi singles sold exclusively in certain regions (like “US only” or whatever)? Whereas this new release can be ordered by anyone all over the world, right? Maybe that’s why this one counts as an EP and the others don’t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiRose Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 First week sales and charting? considering zero promotion and little effort from the band to push it. It's played 3/4 times on planet rock and a few times on absolute classic rock. Any mainstream stations in UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Okay I understand it now. On the cassette format, both HardSkool and Absurd are on Side A, rather than Absurd being on Side B with the live tracks. Thats why this counts as an EP instead of a maxi-single. Same situation as Nirvana’s Blew EP, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just went thru the band’s single discography and it looks like the only maxi singles which had more than one track on the a-side were WttJ (with the live version of Whole Lotta Rosie on the a-side) and SCOM (with MttC on the a-side), whereas HardSkool is two new studio tracks on on the a-side that aren’t tied to different albums (or any album, as far as we know). So I guess that’s the distinction. Again, Nirvana’s Blew EP had two tracks from the Bleach album both on the a-side yet the release wasn’t labeled as a split single or anything, so a similar scenario, I guess (shrugs).

rocknroll41 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not sure if this was intentional or not, but it’s kinda interesting how the four tracks on this EP are sorta like a retrospective of all the different GnR eras. Hard Skool - most people see this song as new Absurd - a bunch of people probably recognize this as Silkworms from Rock in Rio 3 Dont Cry (Live) - represents UYI Youre Crazy (Live) - represents AFD/Lies 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
