You just get random followers just from tweeting random s**t that pertains to a certain topic, interest, or demographic. As I've mentioned probably more times than people care, I'm a diehard Florida Panthers fan. Probably 3/4 of the crap I Tweet is Panthers/hockey-related. I ended up being contacted by the main editor of a major sports site in mostly Europe to write hockey articles due to him being impressed of my knowledge of the game. You never know who reads what you're expressing about.

Dammit, it's never a good sign when a song you dislike hits the top 50 before its adds date :(

I didn't like this at first, but it's grown on me and I love it now. I'm glad it's already top 50.

I like this but I would still be surprised if this was huge on alt. it's a departure from the Bastille and Lorde songs that were inescapable throughout the year.

I like this as a AAA song, not an alt one.

I feel like "Budapest" would be a grower, despite it being boring during first listen (not "Riptide" boring, but still). It took a while for this to peak in the UK, so maybe it will do the same here. I just don't want it to become another "Sail".

Ewww... All jokes aside, I fear that this song will end up taking forever to chart on Billboard, thus making it inescapable to those who were exposed to the song enough.

I could see this song hitting #1 on AAA, maybe going Top 10 on Alternative and peaking in the Top 20 on Hot AC and 20s on CHR/Pop over the course of the next 6 to 8 months.

This song doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same encyclopedia as "Sail"

Debuts at #35 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart this week - to my knowledge this is the first song this year to do that without reaching top 40 on Mediabase since ADTR's "End of Me" a couple of months ago.
