After its first seven adds this week, including two top-ten stations, AllAccess says this goes for pop adds next week. Currently #2 on AAA and Alternative and top 40 on HAC. Huge hit in the making.

Oo, I was listening to this the other day and was wondering when this was going to be released to Pop. It's already had some success on Alt/AAA and think it could do very well on Pop/HAC.

Great, but it had a really fast burn rate for me.

I don't get the hype. At all.

I don't get the hype. The song is pretty bland and forgettable. I'm not a fan of the minimalistic, cheap sounding production either. The melody (and song) goes nowhere. The lyrics and her voice are the most average. I don't get it.

I've never understood what "goes nowhere" means, could you explain?

It's just flat. There isn't a climax or peak. It's sort of like elevator music. There's nothing notable or memorable. It has an uninteresting melody. The melody in the chorus is almost there but falls short. Some of the blame can definitely be placed on the production too. Perhaps even more so.

I hope this becomes a big hit. I was wondering if they were going to release it to pop. Glad they are.

I love this. I see this being a massive hit especially since it's already #12 on iTunes! :o

YAY!!!!
This better be huge! And with it already being top 20 on iTunes with only a top ten placement on AAA and Alternative and a sneak into the Hot AC top 50, I think it's going to be massive once pop starts playing it.
Top 5 Hot 100, Top 3 pop, 4 million in sales, it's coming.

I heard this on KMVQ yesterday. I really like it. I think this could go top 10 at least.

She reminds me of a sh**ty version of Adele. The chorus is awful. Pop'll need a Mike D remix to play this.

They could both smash at the same time. "Let Her Go"'s already what, top 30 iTunes?

I think they'll both grow into hits by the end of the year, but "Royals" has a faster start at radio with its support on the rock formats; "Let Her Go" is currently being re-promoted to AAA after failing to take off before. If I remember correctly, Passenger is only on Nettwerk Records, which also means he probably doesn't get the same promotional advantages Lorde can get being on Republic arm Lava.

PS. Where's Slizzard to give a shoutout to this? #lozzy I WAS GONNA SAY. Slizzard always seems to love whatever's a huge hit here, I'd have thought he'd be jumping around this thread already. Unless of course he hates it.

Annoying beat, boring melody, mediocre vocals.

I hope this will smash so they can follow it with the superior "Tennis Court". It'll be a huge fall-early winter hit.

I am confused by the quick rate of this picking up across the board. I don't dislike it but I certainly don't like it that much. Is there a "cool factor" in liking this song or something? I don't get it.

Smaaaash. I've since moved on to Tennis Court, but I definitely want this to smash.
