This would make a perfect boot song for Idol Season 12!
I really hope radio gets on board with this. It's a good song.

Phillip Squared needs to stop dissing this song, because it's not bad at all. It's a huge step above the last several coronation singles.

I really love this song, and I get kind of choked up every time I listen to it. P2 is doing himself no favors by the dissing. He's getting really caught up in the technicality of it all. Look, it is a single, so just get over it man. If he wants to stop singing it when his second album goes platinum and he's selling out arenas, then that's his choice. But, we're not there yet.

Moved up from #8 to #5 on iTunes today. No promo or radio. Amazing.

This song should join "A Moment Like This", "This Is The Night", "Time of My Life" and "I Love You This Big" in the 1 million sellers club.

Phillip needs to back off. This is easily one of the best, if not THE best, Idol debut/coronation singles ever. He got a real song that could easily have ended up on a great album for an established artist/band (Mumford and Sons) and been a nice single. He could have been given total crap. Maybe it isn't what he normally would do but is it so bad to start off your career with a nice hit that is actually quite good? I can think of so many worse things. Ask Pia.

I haven't really paid attention to the track- I would hope it's better than some of the other Idol coronation tracks. I mean, none of them are really anything great. I liked Fantasia's the best.

Yeah, it's a great song, and I hate coronation songs. I was asking earlier, maybe someone here can answer. Why is this song released to CHR instead of HAC where it's beginning to chart? What are its chances on CHR?

Definitely one of my favorite American Idol coronation song, if not my favorite ever.

It's a good song but it's not really what is getting played these days on pop radio, so why is Interscope sending it for CHR adds? It's likely to do much better on HAC

The coronation single from this season's American Idol winner has already been added by 13 stations and counting.

This is moving along well on HAC but the good adds day today on CHR shows potential.
This could be a sleeper hit in this format.

Still in the 60s on iTunes and airplay is rising now so maybe it'll stay on next week

Still seems more likely to be a HAC hit than a Pop hit.

Were his parents trying to make a joke out of his name? Worst name ever.

"Home" got 13 monitored adds this week -- 8 Top 40, 5 HAC. It only got 88 monitored CHR spins this past week, though, despite getting a bunch of adds. So it will be interesting to see if the Top 40 stations that added it decide to start playing it more than, say, once a day.

No idea where this is on the chart but it's showing a healthy spin increase of 276 for the week.
