I think Jason is way bigger right now than Nelly was when he teamed with FGL on Cruise. Jason is the kind of singer who usually fades after a couple of successful songs (and we have Taio Cruz or Jay Sean to prove it), but unless others he has some staying power. The other side was maybe not a smash but it was way bigger than any from his last era, and Wiggle really sold well, the problem is that is a very polarizing song (and i understand why) so radio ended dropping it. But he has three top 10 pop songs and one top 20 from this era, and i think he will get a successful fifth single. In my opinion he is in his best moment The problem here is in my opinion that Cruise had a lot more crossover potential. This is how we roll was big on country, but doesn't suit on pop that much, and that doesn't change even if Madonna do a collaboration. It girl and don't wanna go home were about the same sized hits as the other side if not bigger Not on pop, and by far. The numbers at billboard hot 100 maybe are similar, but on pop both Don't wanna go home and It girl peaked at 10 while The other side peaked at 5, and Don't wanna go home was purged in its 15 week

What happened to this song's Mediabase listing? It's weirdly showing a bullet of 1589 with only 27 spins credited to last week, and that's obviously false.

This band isn't bad for Country. The original are rather good, but these remixes are just horrendouz. Why do these guys sell out so awefull when they are pretty talented by themselves?

Blame pop radio for considering THIS version of song but not any of the original FGL releases (several of which, in my opinion, would be received well by pop AUDIENCES).
