Maybe it's time we have a thread for this one, seeing that 2 Hot AC stations are now playing this. From the Taking Off chart: THE SCRIPT For The First Time 1 16 2 stations are now playing this, with 25 spins the past 7 days.

I still have a feeling this won't be released here. And I know one of the stations playing it is Sirius XM, who seems to add songs whether they are singles or not.

This isn't as catchy as the singles off the last album either. The subject material won't connect with everyone as well.

Is this a cover of Surface's boring 1991 hit?

It makes more sense to release this here now. The Man Who Can't Be Moved won't do too much on its second run. It already made Top 20 once.

I just think they might go with some other song from the new album for the lead US single. Maybe it'll depend on how this does on the chart when it gets released in the UK.

Isn't it doing well in UK airplay?

I like it, but I am kinda disappointed. I was listening to these guys about a year before everyone else. This one to me just sounds like another Script song. Same style with a relatively close emotion.

Whoa really? That is really surprising. I think it's perfect for Hot AC, but I thought they'd go with a song that had more CHR potential.

Impact date is 10/18.
I really like the song and think it'll do well. IMO, there aren't any super obvious CHR hits on the album, and I think this will do as well as any other song would there.

Personally I think "Walk Away" and "Nothing" would be fantastic choices. But I do love FTFT and I'm really excited it'll be debuting in the US. It deserves to be a big hit!

This is really pretty boring IMO - the only good part is right after the chorus - seriously doubt this'll do much on CHR - I think it's like a more boring version of Better Days by GGD
I guess it could go Top 10 Hot AC, but I think TMWCBM is a so much better song

I walk Walk Away or Dead Man Walking released eventually, but I don't see it happening.

I don't think so. All I've seen is on the Taking Off chart: THE SCRIPT For The First Time 1 14 Leaders Starters
It looks like half of the spins are coming from Sirius XM, with two regular stations also playing.

TOP 50! 67 50 THE SCRIPT For The First Time 197 86 111 0.591 Great bullet. I would love to see this race up the charts. It got 5 adds this week which is solid.

^Adds date has passed - 5 adds in one week is not good (unless it got tons last week I guess)

I'm not sure how many adds it got in the first week. But I wouldn't expect their single to take off like a Maroon 5 or Train single. It'll take more time. I don't think 5 is bad. It just needs to keep getting adds each week.

I'd opt that this rise slowly but steadily, a la Breakeven. (But I reckon it's gonna be tough for this one to stay in the charts for half a year given that they've finally broken out, let alone an entire calendar year. )

As long as it peaks high, I don't care how long it takes. The album is being released on January 18th, so I guess the label expects it to be up there about that time.

Wow, this is going Top 40 later! (Both "Bulletproof" and "California Gurls" go recurrent.)

It seems to be rising pretty nicely! :) I hope they put the video out in the US soon.
