I've finally been listening to the whole album and Like I Can is uber catchy. It's an easy smash. Honestly surprised it wasn't second, but this song is a hit too so it doesn't really matter. Leave Your Lover should be fourth, then close with the riskier Restart after he's had 4 hits in a row.

Just listened to "Like I Can" and the beginning reminds me of "Rolling in the Deep" until the chorus of course, it's great!!! <3

Yes, it's perfect for third single, it's very different from the previous sinlges, it's uptempo, it's catchy and it's very far from being as risky as Money on my mind

New peak at 16 on the billboard hot 100, Stay with me it's at 10. Curiously this song dissapeared from the Urban AC chart after a couple of days on it, i think it was played too much on first day, and it can't support the 8 day effect. Hopefully it'll be back soon to that chart (Stay with me continues to dominate Urban AC)

Bad update on pop, on a positive note it's top 10 on itunes again. The poor song was trying the whole week to come back to top 10, but with the myriad of Taylor Swift songs, the new releases of Imagine Dragons and 5th harmony it was almost mission impossible

Restart would work in the UK but I think would struggle in America.

It does have a similar sound to "Stay With Me" and upon first listen I practically couldn't tell them apart, but now that I have listened to it a few times, I definitely hear the differences... It's a great track!

It sounds like a slightly better version of Stay With Me. I love them both though.

Sorry but both songs are totally different. Yes, they are slow (they don't have even the same compass), but that's what they have in common. Stay with me has a godspell vibe, while I'm not the only one is way more jazzy. And the chorus have nothing in common

Sorry, it's not you, but since i started to read this forum i get tired of the "ballads all sound the same" and "ballads are boring", generally from people who are totally excited about the last copycat dance song. Maybe it's not your case, anyway both songs have very little in common

The way the verses end in both songs is very similar melodically. You can't deny that.

Not a good week in terms of airplay. Pop updates are decent but it slowed a lot in Hot AC, rhythmic and Ac, and still not top 50 on Urban AC after dropping last week (in that chart Stay with me is still number one, and with good updates, maybe that's the reason I'm not the only one has such problems to rise). AT least it went top 10 on AAA

And what a better way to end the week with a negative update -2.
Really weird updates lately (but this is not the only song getting that kind of weird updates). Right now it doesn't seem it's going to even get near the success of Stay with me, but at least i expect a top 10

Number 7 at itunes. With a little luck updates on pop will be better from now on. Probably will lose a position because Love me harder is climbing fast, but it'll be ok as long as it gets decent updates again

Another week on UK's top 10 By the way, Like i can is 10 right now at itunes UK, this is not the release week but I'm not the only one was on the charts some weeks before the proper release. I think he will need to do some promo to make their following singles top 10 hits

Poor song spend the last two weeks trying to climb on itunes, only to be passed by a myriad of new releases (two weeks ago it was Taylor Swift trolling the itunes chart, now it's One Direction).
He made the cover (one of the covers) of Out magazine as breakout of the year, and frankly he looks better in that leather jacket than in the flowered jackets he use to wear
