Why do I start what I can't finish?

"The Kill" is a great song. Personally, I feel like the first "meh" song to go 52 weeks was "Animal" and that was only because it was pretty poppy. The first song I didn't like to do it was "Safe and Sound", and then "Sweater Weather" followed with its crappiness, and since then, we've had the unmemorable "Out of My League", "Pompeii" and "Radioactive" do it. Come on, I like them all, but they don't feel like 52-weekers. Well, what exactly constitutes something that "feels like a 52-weeker"? Those songs were some of the most popular songs of the year, not just on the alternative format but in the entire country (well except Fitz maybe), so they certainly feel more like songs that would spend 52 weeks on the chart than, say, "The Kill" or "Face Down". I think that's partly why, because towards the end of its run, the pop airplay made it seem less of a force on Alt radio since the damage was being done concurrently

Officially another 52-weeker, but it won't pull off a "Do I Wanna Know?"

Officially another 52-weeker, but it won't pull off a "Do I Wanna Know?" on what chart??? it's dropped from Alt a month ago or so not complaining though, as this was my overall #1 song for 2014

Mine didn't play it at all when it was the #1 track, it just started spinning it a few months ago and currently has it on its Top 4 heaviest rotation bracket. My guess is there are a bunch of stations across the country similar to ours and that's why this song had such great longevity. www.allaccess.com/mediabase/q/report/playlist/station/WRFF-FM(though fingers crossed since they are playing Business of Emotion a few times a week so maybe they won't be completely behind there)
