"Popular Song" is a song from Mika's third album The Origin of Love, which is featured on the album version by Priscilla Renea, who wrote it along with Mathieu Jomphe and Stephen Schwartz. It's also expected to be the second US single from the album mentioned before in a new and re-worked version featured Nickelodeon star and American actress, singer and dancer Ariana Grande.

Just discovered this yesterday. I love both the single and the album versions. This song is actually a rework of "Popular" from the Broadway musical Wicked. The video is inspired by the musical too.

The album is pretty good but I think this is the first Mika song I've really loved since Love Today. Seems to be making it's rounds through social networking now too.

I like Ariana, but I hate what they did to her voice on this song. And the Priscilla Renea version is better.

I'd have preferred Stardust for the US, but whatever, I love him and am happy to see another single release here. The video definitely garnered some attention for him that he hasn't had here in awhile.

Interesting that this is being promoted to CHR. I like it but it's still nowhere near his 2007-2009 material for me. I don't think it will do anything.

Sorry side tracked for a second. Ur so right "Love Today" & my personal favorite "Grace Kelly" were a Pop dream come true! While this is not in that same stature it could catch on in the fall with peeps heading back 2 School. Last thing if U DON'T have "Grace Kelly" somewhere in ur library than it's not complete. |

Wow! This is so random. Great to see Mika back and I hope it does something on CHR/Pop though. After a good time he is having success here in Spain again, but with a different song (live your life) "Live Your Life" is been used as a campaign for San Miguel beer in Spain and it's inspired from the classic "Ciudadanos de un lugar llamado mundo", so it doesn't surprise me that it's been a success there. Also, he sings the bridge in Spanish, which it's a plus too :) |

Well, this was random. They should've pushed this to CHR when it was in Top 100 on iTunes songs.
I like the song but I don't really see this SMASHING. I think it'll could do decent/moderately. But who knows? It could become a hit or flop?

Glad to see his label finally doing something with the single.
They released the digital single back in December 2012, premiered the video in April 2013, and now it goes to radio!

Is this impacting today or is it still 8/13? All Access and FMQB are saying different things.
