I want "Portugal" as the next single. Why is no one mentioning that song? One of the standouts on the album.

Avalanche would be my choice for second single, although I wouldn't hate Different Colors or Work This Body.

Everyone else likes this song, so I hate it.
I'm totally okay with this lighting up on Hot 100, definitely a good crossover. Kinda wish "Anna Sun" had done the same.

Besides, Spotify has become a useful tool for bands/record labels to select singles, and it seems as if Work This Body and Different Colors are in a league of popularity well above the rest of the songs aside from Shut Up And Dance.

"Different Colors" has some of the popularity due to it being an instant grat before the album, and for being the lead track on the album (leads seem to be more popular than later album tracks on most albums). "Work This Body" definitely has the popularity probably for being pop-friendly.

Ah, forgot about "Different Colors" for a bit there, lol. I wouldn't mind that one as well. I'd just rather not see "Work This Body" become a single.

It'll be a huge pop hit, also top 10 on Hot AC and #2 on iTunes.

I only really know Anna Sun (and forgot it was even by them) but did some sampling of the new album since i am seeing them at Firefly. Good energy. I'm pumped to see them live now!

I don't mind Pop chart updates at all. Just as long as they are only about the good songs. ;)

Unfortunately I see this getting blocked from #1 on CHR by "See You Again", which is also a pretty good song so that doesn't bother me.

I think there will probably be a cluster of pop stations that won't want to play this very much b/c it doesn't fit with the rest of the playlist

Updated my post to include the update, though I already posted it twice in the Hot AC and Pop forums.

looks like this could reign atop HotAC for several weeks because other possible contenders are all 2000 spins or more behind

This is well on it's way to jumping Passion Pit's "Take A Walk" then Adelitas Way's "Last Stand" to be my #5 (chart points) of the decade (Do I Wanna Know, Demons, Radioactive, Cough Syrup), and could get higher than that.
I'm surprised at how much I've ended up loving this song, since "Anna Sun" wasn't even a top 10 for me and I found their debut album to be mediocre in general.

I know I'm in the minority here but I'm over this song & ready for it to go recurrent - we don't need more spoiled milk stinking up the top 10 for months
I charted this a bit thru the winter...it's fun catchy pop and all, but there's not much of an edge to it, so it peaked at #17 on my personal chart & then dropped off a few months ago
this will be HUGE on CHR & Hot AC all summer long but here in Alternative, can't we just move on already?

I've been ready for it to move on for at least 4-5 months. It's a catchy and good song, but I can't stand the longevity of certain songs on the chart. This is an issue that has been happening for as long as I've been into music since the early 90s.

Seldom do I disagree with you, but when a song is this strikingly great; I don't mind it sticking around a'la "Pompeii" or "Out of My League". Especially if it means we can have a chance at a better songs in the Alternative year end top 50, or better yet, Top 10, then "Stolen Dance"; which I'm pretty sure will be in this year's list as well.

This chart is actually one of the freshest we've had in a while, only five songs in the Top 50 are above the 20 weeks necessary to make them go recurrent, and only one song in the top 10 (this one) has really overstayed their welcome. I don't mind this taking a bit to drop off, the song I want to go recurrent the most is Andrew McMahon, mostly because my local Alt station has had in heavy rotation for the past 5-6 months.

Web, you should listen to my station instead...the most we ever repeat a song is once every 6:40 & that's only if it's in my Top 20...and with a chart that moves as fast as mine all new songs go recurrent at the 4-month mark if not before

It was looking quiet on the pop front for a while. Not now. Sigh.

This song sounds like a sore thumb when played among that mainstream Top 40. meaning this is one of the very few enjoyable songs on that list.
