Nice solid update. :) I wish the song could get higher on iTunes, but there's still time for that. It takes time for people to find a song when it only has Hot AC play.

YES! I've never expected this song to do much at CHR, but I'm hoping the Hot AC success will help it do solidly over there. It'd be great for the S&F release in January. :)

Plus VH1 should help its digital sales now too :) Up to #114 on itunes now too. Hopefully the Beatles will start dying down now, allowing it to go top 100 :)

Can you give me the link to view the iTunes chart? The one I had doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Yeah I hope VH1 helps a bit. Debuting at #15 is pretty good. There's a good chance it'll jump up to the Top 10 next week.

At least it's doing wel on AC but on Pop this couldn't be more dead and without support from them I don't see this doing anything.

Support from CHR has nothing to do with how well a song does on Hot AC - songs have hit #1 HAC with barely any pop airplay - and I think this track is gonna fall into that category (or come close) It's actually a really good song IMO, but it's written for an adult audience

The Pop adds date isn't until November 30. I agree though that this song should peak pretty high despite a lack of CHR play. It'd be nice if this could at least get into the Top 30 there. TMWCBM even managed to do that.

TMWCBM even managed to do that. Just another reason as to why CHR has lost it's way. In the old days, songs like this would routinely hit the CHR top 10 with ease. But as has been explained to death many times in the past here, Clear Channel "CHR's" in particular have become so rhythmic leaning in recent years, songs like this rarely if ever have a chance to do well there. And while many Hot AC's have become the defacto CHR in many larger markets, it's a miracle that songs like "Hey, Soul Sister" and "Animal" have made the CHR top 10 this year. But I don't know if we can say the same thing for "For The First Time". This will struggle to make the top 20 let alone the top 10 there.

I really don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about this band. I've liked their singles well enough but I'm not a fan. I saw their new video and heard this song for the first time this weekend. I don't know. It's as if they tried really hard to make an important song but it falls flat for me. I don't like it as well as their past releases. I didn't read this thread so I don't know how the song is performing on HotAC. I'm sure a top 5 is very possible. The song is just a little cheesy for me or something but it's not as bad as Train's Marry Me in the cheesy department.

Wow, I have never ever heard someone call this song cheesy. That's really surprising to me.

Having said that, the song will probably really appeal to the more traditional HotAC listeners and should do well for the band. I doubt that it can reach #1 though unless the CHR leaning HotAC add the song and put it in high rotation.

Honestly, I'm expecting, or maybe hoping, for a run similar to King of Anything. #1 might be a stretch, but hopefully Top 5 can happen.
Plus, I'm assuming they'll be going with the same follow-up single here as they have in the UK, and that song ("Nothing") should be a smash. Just need FTFT to be a solid hit to start off the US part of the era.

Looking good! :) I expected it to slow down once it hit the Top 20. As long as it keeps rising....

I don't like seeing that update, but I do remember "King of Anything" having something like -4 one day and +30 the next.
I'm sure they've gotta have some promo in January for the album release. They've already appeared on The View, Rachael Ray, Ellen, etc, so it'd seem like they could get a spot on those shows again.

Thanks for posting the update. I'm not worried about the iTunes number since the song hasn't had that much exposure in the US yet. I did finally hear this on the radio last night. On two different stations!

Finally heard this on the radio as well. Sounded good. I wish they would play the version that says "shit-talking" and not "sit-talking" though. lol
