After topping the charts in Australia plus reaching #2 in New Zealand and top ten in their native Canada, RCA-signed group Magic! crosses to AAA here, impacting February 24 according to PlayMPE, who just serviced the track.

After topping the charts in Australia *#2 Not sure if AAA is the right fit for this? I'd think HAC if not trying to get straight to Pop. But I hope it does well anyway!

But but but daily.plaympe.com/magic-rude/Yeah, I agree that HAC is a more natural fit for the song, but I think it fits in well enough for AAA too. We'll see!

This needs to be sent to pop. Spring/summer smash.

I like the reggae laid back influence, but overall yeah this sounds like a song made for Pop.

Glad this is denting AAA and Alt. One of my early favourites of 2014.

This is catchy enough, I see it doing much better on Pop then Alt or AAA though. The lyrics on the hook are just awful though.

I hate the trend of songs crossing over from CHR to Alt, but this is tolerable for now.

I complained about Canadian acts not smashing and well...
I hope this goes top 10.

It's one of those songs that is absolutely getting by because of how catchy it is (and it is unbelievably catchy). The Police-esque pre-chorus is also sick, and I like the little guitar lick on the bridge (I'm not going to call that a solo - it's too short).
The lyrics are ridiculous though. How many people in 2014 can actually relate to this story?

The strange thing about this song is it isn't the extremely-poppy alt stations that are playing it, but rather the active-leaning stations.

I've been infected by this song's catchiness and laid-back reggaeness. I can't stop singing it. It's tearing my family apart.

I don't get it. This blew up Pop first, why is it crossing over here?

Took a few weeks for me to start to like it, but now I can't stop playing it. It's been years since a good Reggae fusion band came around. The last one I lked was The Police.
