This is the official follow-up to "Yeah 3x" at CHR/Pop. It goes for adds on May 31. I was really hoping they would release "Beautiful People" in the US. It already went top 50 at CHR/Pop and Rhythmic. "She Ain't You" is about to go top 10 at urban radio at the moment. It samples Michael Jackson's 1983 #2 CHR/Pop hit "Human Nature" and SWV's 1993 #3 CHR/Pop hit "Right Here/Human Nature".

SAY already has a bigger AI than BP with about 10 fewer stations. BP has been #51 for like a month. I really really wanted it but it's lost it's momentum IMO. Time to move on. Glad they are FINALLY officially sending something to CHR. This should be a multiformat smash.

I'm glad SOMETHING is official. "Look At Me Now" is doing well right now. And "Beautiful People" was starting to gain, as was this one. That's really crazy how he was pretty much banned from the CHR stations for however long, had a huge hit with "Yeah 3x", and now has 3 songs on CHR with a bullet.
I hope "She Ain't You" is massive for him. I think it's the perfect summer single.

I would have preferred if they would have sent BP then this to CHR. I guess they are skipping BP altogether here in the U.S.

I love this but it's not suited for Pop radio. "Beautiful People" would be a better fit.

All you need to do is take one look at the pop charts and realize that old school flavored R&B midtempos are NOT in. It's not a matter of what radio "needs". It's a matter of what radio wants.

Beautiful People is a much better pop single no doubt but i think this could do ok as well. Down On Me plays on pop stations

Down On Me plays on pop stations "Down on Me" is basically THE R&B single that pop radio is playing right now, and it is not similar to "She Ain't You" at all. "Look at Me Now" is much closer in style to "Down on Me" than "She Ain't You". |

WHAT A MESS. He has two other songs top 50. Should've saved this for 3rd. I can't.

Although I wish they'd release "Beautiful People," I'd rather seeing him get a true multi-format smash with this. It's just perfect for this time of year.

This song's hot. It could be his biggest hit since 'Forever' since it could have multi-format support |

Prob even more than LAMW also because of the Human Nature sample |

i really dont like this song. LAMN or BP r way better! i just heard both on the radio today. they should go with one (or both) of those since theyre already in the top 50 (one in top 40) on pop.

whether pop is currently playing a midtempo r/b song is irrelevant. whats the last mainstream artist to release one? usher with his first couple singles from the last album? were those ever even sent to pop? cb needs pop to play his non dance songs.

Is this the one with the Jackson sample....if it is...it sounds to jumbled for me. Like 2 or 3 songs being played at the same time. If you know what I mean.

Looks like being a woman beater has done wonders for Chris Brown's radio career.
I'll pass.

It would admittedly feel weird if it took Chris Brown of all people to break the electro-pop streak. But honestly this song could do it. It samples two r&b songs but there is still such a pop feel to it (and to the original Human Nature, for that matter - HN was the perfect blend of pop and r&b), and the sample is so timeless, that it would have been kind of a waste to not at least try this at CHR.
Whenever I question if CHR would play a certain song (and assuming that the label/artist's team will properly promote the song to radio), I take the current top ten CHR songs and then throw the new song in to see how it feels. Some songs blend in okay, while others stick out like a sore thumb and you just have to hope radio falls in love with the song enough to play it anyway. But I just did it with this and SAY is seamless. It says more about how classic HN is than about SAY itself, but regardless, I think this will at least break top 20 on CHR, and there's a decent chance it could go top 10. The only thing holding Chris back is his reputation, and it seems CHR is finally getting over that.

Aww man, only received 3 adds on Mediabase this week. I was hoping it'd pick up faster.
But then, "Look At Me Now" got 2 adds and "Beautiful People" got 1 add. So maybe stations are still confused what to play?
