Perhaps to the surprise of some of the members of this board, Rob Thomas is currently #1 in the Taking Off section of AC radio with his solo debut. It's already garnished 48 new spins this week.
Could this song make a dent into the top 30?

Do you know how many stations represent those 48 spins? Honestly, I can't see this song doing anything on this format. I'm sure Rob will release the ballad Ever The Same at some point.

It's on 14 AC stations.
To give a more accurate picture, he's at 144 spins, which is probably already enough for the top 30. A top 20 peak isn't out of the question at all.

As pointed out elsewhere, if a song like "This Love" can hit #1 at AC, I don't see any way this will miss the Top 30.

WLTW is playing it like crazy. I think this will go Top 10 at AC in a few months time.

Rob Thomas has had enough success on AC to have a very good chance with this song even though it may not be the most appropriate.
It may not be an automatic add, but once/if it shoots up to the upper echelon of the pop and Hot AC charts, it will surely begin climbing on AC, slowly but steadily (probably all the way to top 5).

It seems like he will have a hit, and since he is the only artist going for adds this week that may help him.

I'll still never get over how the heck "This Love" smashed at AC.
If that was possible, I don't see how this possibly can't top the chart.
Something tells me it won't go #1, but will go Top 5.
My prediction: #3
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

this is going to die off soon. It's about to be done on the other formats, falling bad.

That makes little to no sense. Re: 'Breathe' by Michelle Branch, Gwen's first single, Avril's 'Don't Tell Me', etc, etc, etc. The song is currently in my Top 10 but I don't see the song being as big as 95% of the people said it would be. I'm sure he'll have a successful album and prolly second single but I wouldn't put all my faith into this song.

It could pull a "Livin' La Vida Loca" and only peak in the high teens or could go top 10 if enough AC PDs want him to engage with their core audience. Right now, it will take a long time for him to climb up to the top 10 though.

LNM has a pretty healthy +111 bullet on AC today. That's pretty surprising to me. This song doesn't seem really AC friendly. Too loud. But good for Rob.

I'd say this song's looking good forΒ a Top 10 peak.Β Keith Urban's heading out in a few weeks to recurrentland, and Martina McBride's dropping steadily.Β I think the main competition right now is MercyMe, but I think both songs will see the light of the Top 10 (first Rob will pass Martina, then MercyMe will get vacuumed up thanks to Urban or might even get by Hall & Oates).

I think both Martina McBride and Keith Urban are going to slide out of the Top 10 any week now while Rob continues to climb. In fact, by the end of the month, I believe Rob Thomas will definitely be in the Top 10. Then, from there, I actually am leading to believe if Maroon 5 are able to juggle multiple entries on the chart, with two Top 20 currents and one strong recurrent, "Lonely No More" has a shot at topping this chart with "Unwell" remaining a strong recurrent.

I just heard a softer version of this song on Delilah earlier tonight (a version without a lot of the heavy percussion). I wouldn't be surprised if softer AC stations are spinning this one instead of the album version. Either way, this one ain't done yet!

I prefer the original version, not the watered down version I heard on Delilah.

Already a Top 10 hit!
It could even reach #8 by next week.
