This is doing better than I had expected when it first came out. Kind of nice to see radio actually giving a new, foreign act a fair shake.

That Jimmy Kimmel performance was a little awkward at first, but they got more into it as it progressed. On another note, I wonder what will be the follow-up single to this. I don't really like that "In Your Arms" song on their Youtube page. Have they even recorded an album? I actually really like In Your Arms, but I agree that it's probably not a good follow-up for radio. The lyrics are strong (and the video is another winner), but the production feels a bit too relaxed and dated (seems like it's from the era of R. Kelly's "World's Greatest"). Their voices also sound less polished -- more distinct from each other (it's much easier to tell two people are singing), but less punchy and memorable for radio as a whole. I also think Rather Be hurts it. The songs don't sound too much alike, and I personally prefer the Nico and Vinz tune as a song, but the lyrical content is basically the same thing. And with Rather Be starting to climb, this would probably get lost in its shadow. Either way, I'm glad "Am I Wrong" is still rising. It seems to span so many different tastes and demographics - the essence of being a great song. And "In Your Arms," even if not a perfect follow-up, makes me confident they have what hit takes to develop more hits.

I do enjoy this song, minus the "oh ye ye ye ye" background chanting parts which I find incredibly corny and unnecessary. But yay for Pop jumping on an international hit fairly quickly and not waiting about 2 years to play it!!

But yay for Pop jumping on an international hit fairly quickly and not waiting about 2 years to play it!! This was actually first released more than a year ago (when the duo went by the name "Envy"). So, the US acceptance was technically no faster than it was for Latch and La La La. The main difference is that this caught on as soon as it arrived in the US. It had an absolutely enormous radio impact week and then just surged up the charts. Those other songs (and a number of other recent international crossovers) kind of lingered in a "bubbling under" phase. They were getting airplay here and there and had American fanbases, but they definitely took a long time between debuting in the US and reaching a state of ubiquity.

And it wasn't really all that huge internationally first either. It was a hit in Scandinavia but wasn't even released in the rest of Europe at the time.

So, the US acceptance was technically no faster than it was for Latch and La La La. Well "Latch" came out a good seven or eight months before "La La La" in the UK and broke out in the US after it so I don't think anything else in question even comes close to its crossover delay. As for "Am I Wrong?" you're right that it was a hit in Scandinavia some time ago but the US actually broke it ahead of the rest of continental Europe, the UK, and Australia. When's the last time that happened for a continental act?

This is not the typical european hit, that smash hard in the continent, then become a success in Uk and finally reach the USA. This had success in some european countries and then it was released to the rest of the world

This really has no business not hitting #1 here. The +435 that "Rude" got today really makes me nervous, but I don't think I've seen a song yet that people are loving this much on radio.

Pretty sure it's hitting #1 on Thursday. Friday at the latest. But its sudden slowdown (and Rude's sudden acceleration) suggests it might not get a long tenure.

I think this will be able to edge out "Rude" just enough to get an official week at #1 this week. Really wish it could get a longer run at the top, but at least it will have hit #1.

They just performed this on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Just like the Kimmel performance, Vinz' vocals started out shaky. Also like that one, they quickly got back in control and turned this into an infinitely fun and charismatic performance. These guys are a blast to watch.

It's not an in your face banger, which is kind of nice because many of the summer songs from recent years have been in your face so while they've been hot, or fun, they're easy to get sick of. This one is less so all around but it's too nice and breezy to really dislike.

I've loved it since the first time I heard it months ago so I'm really glad this got to #1 on Pop. Interesting that this is another Black artist who went to #1 on a format that according to Beyonce stans were racist for not playing "Pretty Hurts".
