Still growing - love how this tune is performing.
Trouble is that I don't know what else from their album could remotely work at pop. I'm Only Joking is the next alt single, and that's definitely not a pop crossover.

This has really grown on me. Would love to see this get Top 20.

It's done it was a good hit for an alt crossover. Their run on AAA was not exactly lucky

Just goes to show the pop fanbase still can't take something remotely heavy.

They've released their new one on Alt , "I'm Only Joking" and it's doing well there. I wonder if that one will cross to pop.

Bastille, The Neighbourhood and Capital Cities all had bigger crossovers and their second singles didn't do anything on pop. I'm Only Joking is a great song but it won't have a crossover if Come With Me Now only peaked at 14.

Capital Cities' current single is at #44 on Pop.

Just goes to show the pop fanbase still can't take something remotely heavy. It got into the Top 15 at pop and will very likely go platinum. It was an irrefutable crossover hit. Don't know what these people saying "it didn't do well" are smoking. When did something have to hit #1 to be considered successful? That said, you are onto something in that the key urban pop stations were unwilling to get behind this, and that sank it. Absurd that something MT-freaking-V felt was poppy, cool and mainstream enough to open its Movie Awards couldn't get play from Z100.

Does anyone know why this song is still selling like hotcakes - and in fact up on iTunes over the last week?
It's completely dead at pop (I believe about to be purged from the chart), and it's slowly declining at alternative as well. And the airplay it has at rock wouldn't be enough to explain any sort of sales enthusiasm.
I know it's still getting featured in soundtracks and commercials, but none of those features has been high-profile or newsworthy

This is the "Headstrong" for the indie pop generation, in a sense. I wanted it to go Top 10. "I'm Only Joking" should go next, please.

The new Expendebles 3 movie, could give it another push, since it is featured in the movie. At the least extend its chart life a bit longer.
