Title: Carolina Liar Chart Update and Question ?
Post by: davpet on July 28, 2008, 08:33:14 PM
"I'm Not Over" by Carolina Liar is No.10 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart.

Is this the first song produced by Max to enter the Top 10 of a rock chart ?

yes i think so, and that's awesome!

That's great!

I have no idea if it's the only one.

I wonder if Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" made it to the Top 10, that might of.

This site shows it didn't chart on the rock charts :

(www.allmusic.com is a great resource by the way).

Rock stations won't touch a band if they think they've become to mainstream/pop. Which is what i think happened to "It's My Life".

Yes, you are right with Bon Jovi being mainstream/pop, just thought that there might have been a chance there.

I thought Daughtry might have also made the Rock Chart, but he is too mainstream as well.

wow, allmusic is a great resource, that will come in very handy for me as I'm still compiling "Max Martin's Strike Rate" which I will get back to!

I just found that Prime Sth's "I'm Stupid (Don't Worry About Me) made it to No.27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart, though not as good as Carolina Liar's No.10.

does someone know something about the bonus track : best friends girl ??
Title: Re: Carolina Liar Chart Update and Question ?

I don't know where Best Friends Girl is!

I think there may be a bonus track in the US itunes version, but I can't buy there.

Has anyone heard Best Friends Girl?

This is the new song best friend's girl.

It's a live concert and the audio is average but the song is good.

       Anyone know what is the story with Max's "Best Friend's Girl"?  Can't figure out why this song not available anywhere -- I really love this song, from those YOuTube live clips, the melody, the guitar parts -- all of it, and it must be killer in the studio version. Just such a juicy song.

yes , it is  very strange , the song seems very good, I would love hear it in studio version.

I thought that "Best Friend's Girl" might be a bonus track on the US itunes version. I think there's some bonus tracks there that the rest of the world doesn't get, though I could be wrong. But as I'm not in USA I can't buy it and see.

is there anyone living in USA that could check the itunes version?

Reb, normally you can view an album on a foreign iTunes. It won't let you buy the album though, unless you have a credit card number from that country. It's really pissing by the way, I know how much I would like to download some songs from the Swedish iTunes!!  :-\
Title: Re: Carolina Liar Chart Update and Question ?
Post by: georg_e on March 31, 2009, 01:39:16 PM

                I checked itunes here in NY, but the song isn't listed at all, even as a bonus, and it's not even listed as a bonust track on the band's Wikipedia page....and yet....they obviously like playing it live, and the crowd likes it too :)  Maybe it's one of those songs that's in a movie soundtrack or something.......

Thanks george for checking, I always assumed that's where it was. I hope the song turns up somewhere.

Sabine, thanks now I see I can view US iTunes. Oh yes, I'm so mad that we can't buy from other countries. I have written to Apple about this, asking why? and they basically said too bad. oh well, record companies loss as then people have to resort to downloading for free.

                                             ^     ^     ^     ^     ^

           It IS really crazy how everybody's complaining about profits being down, but then they make it so hard to
buy songs --putting bonus tracks out only available in Antarctica or wherever -- and then you have to resort to
listening to them on YouTube....where nobody makes any money!  ;)    Alot of really good tunes don't get included here
on US cds or itunes, too.

It's completely insane!

I just send Carolina Liar a message on Myspace asking where I can buy Best Friends Girl. I'll let you know if I hear back!
