There's no need to ask if Staind's "Believe" will be a hit—after a mere four weeks the song is already No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and the Massachusetts band's track record of airplay smashes further renders the point moot. The lead single from upcoming album "The Illusion of Progress" (due Aug. 19) is another earnest plea for acceptance and understanding whose appealing dynamic follows Staind's now-pat power balladry formula of soothing verse and crashing chorus. The group outlasted the nü metal trend because of its talent for creating intense, brooding rock, so it's not hard to "Believe" that the track's parent album is destined for the same platinum fate as its three predecessors. —Christa L.
