Great artist. Love him. He's gonna need some faster songs, though.

Yes, specially when he had some dance collaborations (and he was one of the writers of the songs).
I think they will release Money on my mind, because the rest (at least the songs that i know) are slow.
He is doing some promo in the USA now. Hopefully it will help the song to stay high on itunes till the airplay catchs it

Hopefully it will help the song to stay high on itunes till the airplay catchs it I'd caution against Money on My Mind. They've tried to push that song on various occasions (Taylor Swift even gave it a shout-out as her "new favorite song"), and it just isn't happening. It barely even got a lift when people were discovering him due to SNL. It's just not very good, and it doesn't really fit his vibe at all. He's obviously proven he can sell on dance-pop, but I think it's too soon to say he should stray from ballads on his solo efforts. Think he has at least one or two more ballad hits before he needs to consider changing it up. And some people just work in that model -- Rumour Has It provided variety for Adele, but it didn't do as well.

Well, Adele impact first with Rolling in the deap wich is far from being a ballad, the ballads came after that, and Someone like you and Set fire to the rain are quite different.
Money on my mind is a risky choice, i didn't like it at first, and i think a lot of people will get the same reaction (specially if it's being released after Stay with me). I didn't hear his full album, but what i hear are all ballads, some very good, but some of them are even slower than Stay with me, and that could be a problem because we have three months of summer ahead, but of course Stay with me seems very far from peak, and maybe when it does it will be near to fall.
He is able to write good and successful dance songs, but his album has a totally different vibe. I think his album is going to sell well for months, but it will be good for him if he is able to stablish himself as a hitmaker as well.
Probably his releases in UK will be a clue to the way he is going to follow in USA next

Are you guys hearing the original or the remix on your local stations? The CHRs here in DC are split- like "All of Me", 99.5 plays the slow version while 107.3 plays the uptempo mix.

The callout scores this week are really great. If this doesn't stall (and i think it will not) i think it has a nice path to number 2 (by the time most of the song ahead it will be in their way down), dethrone Rude it will be a different story

Great top see a song like "Stay With Me" on Billboard Hot 100. There's hope for music yet.

What remix of this is being played on radio? I've only ever heard the album version and the Darkchild version isn't that much different than the album one unless I somehow got the wrong one.

So many melancholy in an album, i don't know, he must have a pretty hardcore side to compensate. :)) Another week at number one on billboard canada (curiously it seems quite difficult to get number one on airplay there because Am i wrong passed it in the last days)

I don't listen to the local radio THAT often, but I heard some dancier version on Z100. Shame, because it not only dampened the pain and emotion of the song but also made the similarity to "I Won't Back Down" more noticeable (and note that I don't think that they're identical or that Sam "ripped off" Tom Petty - but I've heard that criticism, and it wasn't until listening to this dance remix that I really understood what people were saying).

Yeah I heard a dance-friendly version on the radio too and I don't really care for it, probably because the original is already beat driven enough. I hear about 50/50 between the original and remix.

Top 5 on AC, i think it's going to be massive on that format.
And it's getting closer to Rude on itunes now

I heard that dance mix as well and I didn't like it either. I like the original and the Darkchild versions. This song just does not translate all that well into a traditional dance mix because of the way the vocals are and the emotional tone of the song.

Z100 finally played this song, but it was a shitty remix.
Oh well, they have to turn this into a summer song somehow.
