I don't do so-so. It's either love or hate for me.
That way, I influence the results more.

Speaking of this, does anyone more familiar with how the radio industry works know how much influence these Rate The Music surveys matter with what is played?

I'm not sure if this will be able to hold on for a second official week at #1 :( Vance Joy will probably be there for an eternity.

Ugh, please let this rebound for another 2 or 3 weeks or so at the top, it's way too great to be relegated to a single-week reign at #1 and an eternity behind "Riptide" of all songs

Seriously, "Riptide" is already catching up to this? I can only hope "Back to the Shack" or "Left Hand Free" climb just as fast, I'd rather see those songs at the top than "Riptide". Although it'd be nice to see "I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore" gain back some ground as well.

I do like "Riptide", it's just that this is probably my second or third favourite song of the year.

Hopefully this is like "Come With Me Now" and rebounds to #1, but I feel like "Riptide" is going to be dominating the chart until an Alt main-stayer can dethrone it.

My guess is Riptide's probably holding #1 until the Foo Fighters make their way up to the top with their lead single. Something like 8 weeks at the top for Riptide wouldn't surprise me. Stolen Dance is the only song I think has a shot (maybe Weezer but I still feel like they'll burn out really quick) before the Foos go to #1.

Probably the most likely too.

I really hope "Riptide" doesn't spend that long at the top. There's about 6 other songs in the Top 10 more worthy of #1, and this has to ascend? Come on.

"Tongues" is having a mini resurgence and this started losing spins, so I wonder if stations are deciding to move on to that instead. If that's the case, I could see "Tongues" smashing and Joywave being the next big indie group (a la Foster The People, Fun, Imagine Dragons). Especially if "Dangerous" crosses over, and to me it sounds like a CHR smash.

104.5 finally started playing this as a "new" song on its playlist a few days ago despite its recent fall from #1 Alternative. I wonder how far the definition of new can be stretched. I thought they were going to pass it over completely like they did with "The Walker". Also I'm happy you finally came around to this song Green Baron, it's so infectious. It deserved a longer stay at #1 over Riptide.

I didn't hear the full song but from the chorus it's boring, bland and uninspired. Am I the only one who hated this song? (Well, hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like this song) f**k! I don't hate this song anymore. Oh great, I like this song now. :( It took a while, but I love this song now. It sounds so good on the radio. Even Pokemon don't evolve this much.

Even Pokemon don't evolve this much. A WILD INDIE SONG APPEARS. Green Baron used GIVING IN. It's super effective!

Lol, somebody should really keep a counter of every time someone on this board incorrectly spells out "Milky Chance" as "Milky Dance".
(J. Roddy Walston and the Business are far superior, though)
