One problem. Live's new album IS "mainstream"-sounding.

Yes, but a lot of stations won't add a song unless other stations add it too. They rather stick with the Goo Goo Dolls, Rob Thomas, etc. Live isn't a proven force in the Hot A/C market, only having one hit song. Therefore getting added to playlists will take a lot of work and luck. "The River" never picked up steam in the US. Let's hope single #2 does a bit better.
