this is a difficult stat to find as the song varies each show and it is hard to calculate all the S'Alright's in a video. im trying to find roughly how many Its Alrights have been heard throught the circle tour.
*This data is very hard to get accurate the exact number is almost impossible to find but this is using an average from 6 shows...3 in 2010 and 3 from 2011
The 6 Shows used and the number of Its Alrights were
24-3-2010 - 71*
21-4-2010 - 66*
11-9-2010 - 68*
9-2-2011 - 71*
24-6-2011 - 75*
10-7-2011 - 106*
* roughly!!
the more shows viewed the accurate the final figure but 6x6mins of that many its alrights is enough for me...anyone want to do more feel free. now for the number part
71+66+68+71+75+106 / 6 = 76.17
so on average It's Alright is said about 76 times per show. (for the lyric to be counted, Jon must say it first for the response to be counted..if Jon says 'What' and the crowd say ' Its Alright' It doesnt count. otherwise my pen would of run out by the amount of times!
If Who Says is played in tonights final show (Lisbon - 31/7/2011) it would of been played 158 times.
76 * 158 = 12008!! thats a lot of S'Alrights!
Take it as you wish..it is far from accurate but it gives a good idea of the amount it is said!

Way too much free time on your hands there boyo!
But im not totally loving the song to be honest. Probably - with the good point you make - is that it is overplayed. But so is Prayer, Medicine, Bad Name, Born to be my baby...etc...maybe people on here wouldn't moan so much about setlists if these "gimmie's" were maybe pulled in favour of other former "gimmie's" such as Die for you, Runaway, Blaze, Bounce, OWN but to name a few...
