I just went to the Billboard site. They had "With Me" as a single in early December.

Where the FUCK is Sum 41's promo team? Honestly, their tours and singles have not been promoted at all this album.

i think Underclass Hero the single would of been alot more popular if it was promoted better, its such a kick ass song

Sum 41s promotion has got worst with each album, in England the walking disaster video hasn't even been played on any of the music channels.

I hope it doesn't become popular.
Because then people would think Sum 41s songs are all faggy like that.

im thinking that if With Me becomes popular, it will mostly be liked by girls. it might become overplayed on the radio but im pretty sure that with me's popularity won't boost the Album's sales. most girls i know don' t buy the CD, they just download the song and put it on their ipod.

most guys won't like it and they will maybe start to dislike sum 41 because of it.

but it depend on the kind of video they make for it. if its sweet and romantic, girls will love it. if its funny and stupid, it won't get much play.

I totally agree.

But i will feel bad if it will get too much attention and become like really popular, annoying faggy people will start saying the Sums went emo or something cuz its more of a romantic and personal song, you know... gonna call sums now emos or something shit. It'll be annoying.

Mmmm, thanks for the generalization. Where I live, a girl is more likely to buy the album than a guy.

I sort of went on a rant on the Q&A:

"I was just wondering how much you're paying your promo team, because it seems like they're doing squat. Absolutely nothing. Underclass Hero and all the singles and tours surrounding it could not be being promoted worse. The only time I've seen any advertising for this album's tours whatsoever has been when you guys are not the sole headliners. The garage bands here are being better publicized than you guys. What I'm saying is something needs to be done because your band is one that deserves to receive attention. And it's not at all and that's mainly due to bad promotion. I know this isn't a question, but I had to bring it up somewhere."

Yeah great job Phili! :) But tbh, I don't think that the promotion is getting better because someone said it was awful in Q&A's. That sucks ><

I want the Sums to be successful, but not overly popular like fall out boy or whatever. I don't want all my friends who think the Jonas Brothers are the best band ever think they are big fans just by listening to one song. Because that happens a lot...
