Goes for pop adds April 1 (according to FMQB) after HAC this week. It was already a top-five hit in several Scandinavian countries and now Germany under their original name, Envy.

I kinda like it. It's really... different. I'm not sure if it'll be successful though.

Looks like they shut my login down...grr I've been using it for 3 years now. I've always been able to find a way to look at the adds, but not so sure this time :(. Oh well.
Back on topic...very surprised to see this pick up that many. Usually good music takes forever to get good airplay.

Most added with over 60 adds? That's incredible for a new act that basically no one knows about in the US.

Hope not, but if so, at least they've spent that money on actual talent this time. I think it's pretty obvious they have some kind of deal. The song is barely top 500 on itunes, and they are totally unknown (even in a good bunch of european countries, this was not a success in south europe, at least not yet). Anyway, the song has a different vibe of most top 50 wich is good. It sound similar to some other european groups with african roots, but you generally don't have nothing like that in american charts. We'll see how far it will go. The song is nice and different, if the airplay increase the sales could be a hit

The song is barely top 500 on itunes, and they are totally unknown (even in a good bunch of european countries, this was not a success in south europe, at least not yet). I don't think so. Breakdown of their 66 adds: Clear Channel - 23 Entercom - 3 Townsquare Media - 3 Mapleton Communications - 2 Royce International Broadcasting - 2 Pamal Broadcasting Ltd. - 2 Cox - 1 CBS - 1 And the remaining 29 are all scattered among smaller owners. Further, in three cases (Portland, OR, Omaha, Salt Lake City), smaller-owned stations added it but CC-owned stations in those same markets did not, and in another five cases (San Antonio, Rochester, Albany, Detroit, Norfolk), both the CC-owned and the non-CC-owned station added it. Suffice it to say, I don't think a deal's at work here.

Suffice it to say, I don't think a deal's at work here. And what is the reason to all that interest for a song that is not selling well from unkown artist that was success in a few european countries (not even in UK) and doesn't have the usual sound of hits in US. Don't get me wrong, i think the song has a chance of being successful, and maybe there's no deal, but it's clearly a big push from the company to be on the radio. The song wasn't even top 500 when it entered top 50, and that's not normal at all (maybe for well known artists before releasing the song to itunes), specially from a foreign artist and not being previously successful in other airplay charts. Anway, deal, push or whatever, if there's a good reaction to the song and starts to climb on itunes right now is near top 200 wich is not good for a song in the top 50 pop but way better than it's position last week or even a few days ago) it could work, if not, the song will drop like a stone in few weeks

CHR is taking notes from HAC, it seems.
