In the US, the song was released as the second single from ''Stars of CCTV'' on 18 April 2006, following "Cash Machine". It gained the band some prominence in the US by entering the US Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart at #39 a month after release. It later peaked at #34. ==History== This was the band's favourite song to perform live, as lead singer Richard Archer said, "'Hard to Beat' is going crazy at the moment. We were in Bristol yesterday and I was wondering if my voice was going to last on tour, but the crowd sings it for me, so that's going well. But the most fun playing is probably 'Unnecessary Trouble', that's always a good laugh, and 'Living for the Weekend' is the last number, so is a high energy one, but after last night, Hard To Beat."〔(Hard Fi Interview - INTERVIEWS - I Like Music )〕 The B-Side "Stronger" was originally performed by Richard Archer's previous band Contempo.〔(Contempo at Myspace )〕 The track has been listed for 23 weeks in 2 different charts. It entered the UK Singles Chart at #9, one place below "Feel Good Inc" by Gorillaz and one place above "Just a Lil' Bit" by 50 Cent.〔(UK Singles Top 75 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hard to Beat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
