As much as I love this band, I haven't always been a fan of their lead singles. "Miracle Mile" being the exception, which was great. This is another great one. Top notch. It's out everywhere today. Listen!

I f**king love CWK. Mine Is Yours is a perfect album, probably my second or third favorite ever, and 'Miracle Mile' should have been a multi-week #1 hit.
This isn't a let down. Really anticipating this next album.

It goes for HAC adds in August, so it seems the label is giving this a full push.

Because you have to imagine yourself in corporate's shoes and understand how the promotion strategy of a single works these days for an un-established Alt artist. See how the big hits happened for Mumford & Sons ("I Will Wait"), Imagine Dragons ("It's Time"), and The Lumineers ("Ho Hey")? Even "Royals" and now "Habits (Stay High)." Started promotion towards Alt & AAA radio, then moved on to HAC, then when it showed good signs of a hit on HAC (and digitally + other possible factors), the label sent it to Pop. It's a successful formula that will be used time and time again. If Cold War Kids' song was sent to radio the same time as HAC, it'd probably flop. Plus it's probably financially nonviable for their label to push to Pop without any hints of it paying off (unlike in the case of "Chocolate" and "Pumpin Blood," as they were used in ads, and shown success in other countries, and/or had a generous amount of digital sales and buzz). |

Well, I didn't know the difference between Hot AC and Pop when those hits started out, but Hot AC is more rock friendly, so it does make sense. But does Pop really pay attention to Hot AC success? |

HAC and Pop are quite similar, so their audiences tend to overlap. Since HAC is aimed more for young-to-middle-aged adults, more rock-friendly and easy listening songs tend to get played. Therefore, if the younger end of the HAC audience spectrum like what they hear, along with the older end liking it, it gains airplay and if that airplay becomes significant then it's a sign to Pop radio MDs to start spinning that song to capture some of that audience. I *think* that makes sense, lol. |

I thought "Animal", "Your Surrender", and "Everybody Talks" all used that formula, although I could be wrong. |

Yes, but considering Imagine Dragons were always one single behind on Pop and it took Mumford & Sons two albums to get played, I'd say they got off pretty easy. |

Interesting conversation you guys had up there, but seriously that is exactly what's wrong with music today. Gone are the days when a Dee jay could just start spinning a song on an Alt rock station just because he or she thought it was good and would catch on. This is a great song and its a shame it has to go through all that process just to get a chance to be heard.

I just don't understand why this band struggles so much to chart hits. Maybe they have always been too left of center, but it seemed like they had cleared a hurdle last year. Apparently not. It's truly one of the more perplexing Alt. careers IMO.

awesome album and they have really hit some form over the last few albums
early on I thought outside of the main singles they struggled across the full album sets however the last 2 albums have been very solid with this effort being their best overall effort to date
