This is going to depend on the itunes performance. Radio is more than ready to play their music, but if airplay doesn't translate into sales it will happen the same that it happened with she looks so perfect I think Amnesia is a less polarizing song and will have more success because of that. It'll have a broader appeal. SLSP isn't even really a favorite among fans except that it;s well known and really fun when they play it live. I think Amnesia will definitely go top 10 and I think SLSP made it to B rotation and top 15 and that's it. Except on Sirius where they play it all the time still. I also think Capitol has a ton invested in them and we'll see them looking for a longer tail, maybe a 3rd US single in the late fall to help drive holiday sales. They'll be doing their first real world headline tour next year and it's in arenas, and many sold out pretty much right away. I'm sure Capitol has some kind of 360 deal too so they make money on the touring with all that is being invested. They have a one-off at the Forum in LA in November where they did a creative presale at the venue that they turned into a big party with food trucks and music and they came and sold tickets. Probably 8000 or so tickets sold that day, maybe more, because at the public onsale the next day, they were sold out completely within minutes. I think they'll keep growing as musicians, as they are very hard working. I have all the songs from all the versions of their CD (my daughter is a huge fan) and a lot of not known songs are even stronger than the "popular" radio type songs.

We'll see. I think it still will depend on sales. Radio is going to play it, if it sales are good they will be top 10, if the sales are not good they will drop it in the top 20.
They are going to be number one on albums with good sales, so i don't see a reason that won't translate in single sales too (this type of band use to sell more singles than albums) but you never know, and even more with a band with a teen a preteen fanbase wich tastes change by the minute

First it's about promotion from the label. That gets a song on the radio. Once it's out there, a lot does depend on the ongoing testing of the song, if people like it or hate it. The album obviously has the sales, the HDD numbers have it over 250K, which will put it with the biggest openings of the year. I'm not exactly the demographic for the band, but I really like them. I'm impressed with their music. Literally there are no songs that I don't like or skip, and I can't say that about other bands that I even like. My favorites are not SLSP and Amnesia (although I like Amnesia, and I really like how they do it live). What's funny is I brought my daughter to see them and I was so impressed with how well they played live that I got into them a bit more myself, much to the chagrin of my daughter. So I guess I'm a closet fan haha.

Yes it depend of sales at leas if you are not a big name, and they are not a big name.
Am i wrong is the perfect example. The song received airplay from the beginning, the sales came fast after that and became number one. Radio and sales are two very different things but without good sales a song from a new artist that is receiving radio attention has zero chances of being top 10.
For example Hideway is getting a lot of airplay now, the sales are poor, so at least their label really really put a lot of interest (in payola) like what happened with Krewella's Alive, or has incredibly good timing, there are a lot of posibilities that the song stalled before reaching even top 15.
It was exactly the same for She looks so perfect.
They are on OD league, and OD has always big albums sales that not translate in big singles sales (with a few exceptions) and not big airplay for the songs. And of course this type of bands use to have big first sales (for singles and albums) it's the staying power wich makes the difference

Amnesia is up to #25 on Mediabase Top 40 and has nearly the full panel in Adds (it's at 174 stations I think).

I'm still so upset this is the single and not "Beside You". They are filming a new video for the next single in LA this week. All they will say it is one of their older songs they re-recorded for the album. So that could be "Beside You" or "Heartbreak Girl" from the Standard version. Another could be "VooDoo Doll" since they've performed it for a couple years but they never recorded it until this year. The older "Out of My Limit" was also on the Target version but I doubt that would make a single since it was Bonus.

Didn't "She Looks So Perfect" start petering off in this area?

Yes, but i think this is saling better than She looks so perfect at this point, so maybe it has a chance to go deeper on the chart (wich is not easy right now in that area).
Anyway, i think this is is Little things with a better chorus and Little things didn't went too much further either

And of course in HAC it gets kicked off by the boring-ass "Riptide"... Stones and glass houses. This is just as boring. When I first heard it, I thought it was "Story of My Life" by One Direction. I mean, I know boy bands were never the most creative, but still...

I still thinking they are wasting Don't stop wich is really catchy.
They still didn't found their what makes you beautiful, not that is harming their album sales. The album is competing right now with Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith in terms of sales.
And by the way, Riptide is fantastic
