I'll probably get destroyed for saying this, but I think re-recording this with a rapper and adding a 3rd verse for him would make this a massive pop hit, and I think it'd sound pretty good too.

Everyone hears music differently.

Well, the verses on this are horrid. The singer sounds mad drunk in my opinion, slurring his words like the guys who pissed in beer cups at the concert I went to last saturday. I mean, you don't relieve yourself during Float On, you just don't.
I do like the chorus.

Everyone hears music differently. The reason I don't think rapper really fits is what Green Baron said. The verses aren't too great. They're very unique, and you would have to find the perfect rapper to accommodate them. I would love to see it tried if they can find someone good, but I don't think it would fare all that well. ETA: When I said it wouldn't fit, I meant along with the flow to the song. Not on a part to add the rapper. I was sort of vague on that lol.

I think the best part of this song is the guitar groove after the chorus. It's so simple, but it sells the song for me. I agree that the verses are very quiet and it sounds like he's slurring the lyrics.

the only reason Imagine Dragons made the remix was to guarantee the Hot 100 Most Weeks Charting record.
Also I don't think this needs a rapper to be successful on Pop. It already sounds like a pop hit.

I'm gonna stop saying I hate certain songs, cuz those are the ones hitting number one on Alt. Bleachers, Vance Joy and now this "Stolen Milk" crap.

LOL. Who knows what this song is about. Something about dancing, something about addiction? The band should officially change their name to "Milky Dance" and this song to "Stolen Milk".

For those who care, this and "Riptide" are bursting onto the Hot AC scene. Both will likely become big pop crossovers and remain in the alternative top 10 for an eternity. Can't wait to see the complaining start 51 45 VANCE JOY Riptide 225 139 86 0.749 63 47 MILKY CHANCE Stolen Dance 207 63 144 0.752

Before I read what Cody said I saw the numbers and thought this and 'Riptide' were in the Active Top 50. LOL.

These two would possibly be the worst 52 weekers if they reach that milestone (either worse than, or just as worse as "Trojans"). I wish Alternative wouldn't care so much about Pop listeners being turned on to them (even if they do have the highest audience figures ).

Though I truly dislike both of these songs greatly. Not because they sound trendy/poppy or whatever; I just think they suck. I don't get the hate for "Trojans" that was one of the first songs that got me me heavy into the more melodic indie stuff on the alt charts. If anything I hold that song as a milestone to my listening pleasures. @shadowcorp You are not my favourite member to quote, but damn you hit that one on the mark."The band should officially change their name to "Milky Dance" and this song to "Stolen Milk". " BTW, the singer actually sounds like he stole some sour milk and drank it before he sang that song.

Yay for drunk-sounding/slurred vocals topping Alternative. Although, I now slightly prefer this over "Riptide". Sort of.

2795 is the biggest spin peak I've seen since I started watching the charts. I doubt it's the record, but does anyone have that info available? I'm curious since several months ago they had a panel readjustment that seemed to drastically increase the peaks, from around 2000-2100 to 2500+ now.
also really happy to see this take the peak from Riptide.

I know back in the mid 2000s there were some really high spin peaks. I think back in 2003 it was as high as 3000+.

The difference is that back then there were more stations on the panel and that now the stations just overplay the songs.
