It is not yet contending for dominance with format leaders like Chevelle’s “Take Out the Gunman” and The Pretty Reckless’ “Heaven Knows,” but it soon will be.<\/p>\n
“Painkiller,” the latest from Three Days Grace, continues to explode at active rock radio. The format’s eleventh-most-played song over the trailing seven days (up from #23 in the week prior), the single was also the week’s most-added track.<\/p>\n
Twenty active rock stations picked up the single, which showcases new lead singer Matt Walst. Avenged Sevenfold’s “This Means War,” the format’s next-most-added track, launched at sixteen new stations this week.<\/p>\n
Other songs with notable station pickups include Redlight King’s “Times are Hard” (10), Adelitas Way’s “Dog on a Leash” (8), Avatar’s “Bloody Angel” (6) and Hellyeah’s “Sangre por Sangre” (6).<\/p>\n
