    Both are very good on iTunes atm. Are they official singles or only promotional?

    Do you think they will chart very well in fact of the good iTunes Charts.

    Rebellion will chart higher than Wastelands.

    Wasteland is the 3rd single for sure. But I doubt it will chart well.
    They need to make official videos for them, or at least Wasteland. I feel like their promotion for this album is so poor.

    I think the promotion for THP is much better as for LT, except the missing music videos. Wastelands/Rebellion and the album itself hit hard on the iTunes charts. GATS and UIG did okay, too.

    No. Singles like Wastelands and Rebellion that get released as "unofficial" hype singles right before the album usually don't chart well. They get stuck in limbo.

    Wastelands isn't likely to chart in the US (already #71 iTunes), in Europe however it will hit the charts. Rebellion seems to chart higher at this point. But I'm quite sure, all of the singles we got til now will peak in their first week because there won't be (much) airplay, so no, sales will be poor.

    The album might actually sell well in the first week since the hype is way better than 2 years ago. Not sure if they can beat Lana Del Rey's new album for the #1 spot though.

    Until It's Gone was consistently in the Top 40 of the iTunes chart after charting for around 5 days. It fell off a few days later.

    It debuted at #115 on the Billboard Hot 100. It doesn't look very good for Wastelands and Rebellion.

    Rebellion is catching a lot of attention, even non-fans approve (although a lot of them are attributing their fondness for Daron, probably rightfully so). If they release it as a proper single, I'd see it doing well.

    Not Wastelands though, despite being "classic Linkin Park" I've seen nothing more positive than a 'just ok' for it.

    "Rebellion" has screams. The last time an LP song had screaming and was a hit was "Bleed It Out" (or if you count Top 40, "Somewhere I Belong"). Also, it has heavy guitars that discomfort casual listeners. The radio song with evident guitars right now is Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" (which is a great song imo).

    But if it does push through as a single, I'm all for it. But as a radio listener, I just don't think it'll do good.
