Chart Position

The song has a peak position of #45 for the U.S. Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks according to this page, but the linked reference goes to "America's Music Charts" and shows Uprising having a peak position of 45, but does not show the Mainstream Rock charts. Maybe somebody who has signed up at billboard.biz can resolve this by finding the position on the U.S. Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock charts, as this is only possible to see if you subscribe with them.

The song reached #37 on the Hot 100. It is so far their sole Top 40 Hit on the Hot 100.

Although MADNESS reached #45 on the Hot 100 and even #22 on the Pop Songs/Mainstream Top 40.

Atlas

Have any of the band said Uprising is baseed on Atlas? Otherwise it's an unsupported assertion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.195.23.28 (talk) 14:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC) >>> It seems to be based on: 1) the theme from "Dr Who", 2) "Call Me" from Blondie, 3) "Rock-and-Roll" from Gary Glitter, and 4) Marilyn Manson vocal stylings. Do these guy's have an original bone in their bodies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.67.104.4 (talk) 20:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Marilyn Manson? Sounds a lot more like Brandon Flowers to me. When I first heard this song, I thought it was by the Killers; it sounds almost exactly like their style! Stonemason89 (talk) 23:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are called Muse. Evidently it's cause they have lots of them.99.163.51.92 (talk)

Is this a joke "some have interpreted it to have subtle conservative or libertarian message"? - one half-baked blog post is not evidence that it is some kind of Libertarian manifesto. Muse A) is British B) has used themes of resistance and alienation in their songs long before Tea-baggers dusted off their sticky-paged copies of "Atlas Shrugged" and started whining about white boy revolutions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.183.86.65 (talk) 01:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What a childish comment.

Regarding the Libertarian comment, there is a cited reference to him being Libertarian here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Bellamy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shin00bi (talk • contribs) 21:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whether intended or not, the line "They will not force us" is strongly Libertarian. Opposition to the initiation of force is so fundamental to Libertarian thinking that it is part of the pledge every member signs.

UK Rock Chart

It seems the other Resistance singles feature where they peaked at the rock chart (#1, for both!). Why doesn't Uprising it would be nice to know if it was a rock chart #1 too. ? --213.83.125.225 (talk) 12:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UK Related Charts

Why is there 5 American charts listed compared to the UK's one, I mean who really is bothered about the US Adult chart? How ridiculous, can someone get on the case and add a couple more UK charts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.126.59 (talk) 22:47, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RockNess

Although I am not a source, I can also confirm that Blondie's band played Uprising while she sang Call Me. I noticed this and thought "I never knew the songs were that similar" and then realised she had changed the tune. 92.23.118.179 (talk) 15:04, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That was the same mind of mine

first i listened to this song and the parts i also thought of CALL ME ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.247.243.100 (talk) 17:35, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No information about song

This article contains almost no information about the song itself, other than that it has "thumping bass line and the occasional lead guitar riff". Surely some information could be added here? AJD (talk) 16:41, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you find some particularly useful or interesting info from reliable sources, go ahead :) Andre666 (talk) 16:52, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Call Me

Is there evidence that the riff at certain parts was taken from Call Me (Blondie song)? The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 07:08, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Mo-Ja'al, not that I know of. We could only add it to the article if it came from a reliable source (see WP:RS. Popcornduff (talk) 07:31, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
