I don't understand how If I Lose Myself is flopping. I just don't get it. It's amazing.

I cannot get enough of Light It Up. I put that song on when I'm walking somewhere. It's such a catwalk song, I get the biggest attitude listening to it. It's also similar to Everybody Loves Me which is also a song I put on when I'm going somewhere lol.

I think they are plagued with bad single choices. I like "Stop and Stare," "All the Right Moves," and "Feel Again," but "Say," "Secrets," and "If I Lose Myself" all probably should have been released first respectively.

Ok so I went to Target to get the exclusive deluxe version or w/e but why is it that stupid cardboard case thing. Not here for that. The album is absolute perfection. "Can't Stop" slays my existence.

Projected to sell 50-55k next week. Waking Up debuted at #21 with 39k (555k total).

I'm far more surprised its gonna sell a decent amount more than Waking Up first week. That's really good considering All the Right Moves was a bigger hit than Feel Again and IILM is kinda bombing. Plus WU was released near Black Friday.

I was really surprised to read the sales prediction. I was expecting like 17k first week! "Preacher" and "Can't Stop" are the two songs I keep coming back to and playing over and over. Oh and "Life In Color." Those three tracks plus the singles are just flawless. Of course, the rest is pretty great too.

If I Lose Myself is up to #51 on iTunes after the AI performance.
Counting Stars is #40. Next single perhaps?

Can't Stop is a freakin drug! Would be very risky of a single, but if it worked I think it would really work.

"Something's Gotta Give" is above just being a bonus track and is my personal favorite song of the album. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Native as a whole. It's a pretty cohesive album to me and has a good flow too. In the past I haven't cared much for OneRepublic's music, but this was a pleasant surprise.

Projected to sell 50-55k next week. Waking Up debuted at #21 with 39k (555k total). Glad to see them improving on first-week sales. I hope this album can end up selling gold or more, since it always seem they've been a slow-but-steady album seller. I'm shocked that they haven't had a top10 hit yet from this album, and I think they could've if they had pushed "Feel Again" a lot more. I think "If I Lose Myself" is the first single of theirs that I didn't care for.

Other than the spiritual experience that is "If I Lose Myself," my favorites are "Can't Stop" and "Counting Stars." It's a very good album, but I've come to expect that from them. Ryan Tedder rarely fails.

Strong album all around. "Burning Bridges" is by far my favorite track. Would love to see that as a single at some point...

This album is so great! I'm really into "Something I Need". I'm also heartbroken that "If I Lose Myself" isn't smashing like it should.

Just got back from their concert in Belgium. I'm still abuzz. What a great show. Ryan sounded stellar! He's pretty amazing in concert. Weird how he seems off most of the time in televised performances.
Well Counting Stars had a GREAT response and so did Can't Stop. They're definitely one of the future singles, especially Counting Stars but that's pretty much a given at this point.
It was a great show. I really enjoyed it. The band sounds so good.
Loved the Good Life/Midnight City mash up!!! That was EPIC. The M83 instrumental flowed perfectly with Good Life.
Oh and the Seven Nation Army and Gold Digger covers were just plain awesome.

Yeah they performed on The Voice. Counting Stars and the album are doing AWESOME on iTunes and I'm so glad. The album deserves so much attention that it hasn't gotten thus far.

"Preacher" is one of the best songs I've heard in my life. It's absolutely phenomenal - the production, delivery, and especially the lyrics. I also love "Counting Stars," but if there's one song I'll remember OneRepublic by, it's "Preacher." The rest of the album is great as well; the only song I'm really indifferent about is "Something's Gotta Give." I wish the interlude that is "Don't Look Down" was an actual full-length song, though.

Glad to see Counting Stars getting some traction. Hopefully it gives the album a boost, becomes a hit and they can re-release If I Lose Myself after.
