Just so you guys know, this song is taking off on mainstream Pop, so it's bound to be around for a while. Probobly go #1 and maybe even knock out Modest Mouse

I think it will be a close fight between this and Mumford & Sons for the next #1. Though I want Robert DeLong to get a week at #1 too.

He's performing on SNL on March 28th. Probably performing this and "Blame It On Me".

Blame It On Me is fine, but good god does this ever just get worse and worse and worse.

I don't think this is going to hit #1. AWOLNATION is already outpacing it, and Mumford & Sons should overtake it soon enough, followed by any number of the core acts flying up the chart now. It has already spent 180 days on the chart, so I'm sure some fatigue exists, even with Alternative's tendency to keep hits around forever.
My personal opinion: I enjoy this song. I think there are better cuts from his album but this one is fine, and perfectly fits the format in its current state. Blame It On Me will be a decent followup, and overall I much prefer his material to Vance Joy's at this point.

If it's worth anything, the bullet for this has been shrinking a bit every day, hopefully it'll be in the negatives soon enough. ;) I don't absolutely hate this (it beats "Riptide" and "Stolen Dance") but I cannot stand his voice and how he pronounces some of the words in the song. Yes, as Cody said "Ah di bi doe" (although it's actually "I'd leave it all". Or, "I'd lose it all".)

It's enjoyable enough for me - a pleasant trifle, not much more than that. Better than Vance Joy, definitely better than Milky Chance, and definitely better than that garbage new Better Than Ezra single that my alternative station has been playing as of late.
Don't really mind the accent either since I can at least make out most of what he's saying and it works well with the minimal sound of the whole track.

You'd rather get a vasectomy, get kicked in the nuts, and get punched in the nuts over listening to "Stolen Dance"? A bit overkill, don't you think?

This song isn't that bad. I'd rather it be #1 than "Lampshades On Fire" but "Long Way Down" and "Hollow Moon" deserve it more.

I've always heard "ah di bi doh" since day one. Still can't hear "I'd give it all" or whatever it is. If you want to say "I'd give it all" properly, George, take some lessons from Tim McIlrath here.

I thought I'd be so super sick of this song by now and it started the burn on me toward the end of the year last year but since getting the album and watching its rise on these formats, it's kind of renewed for me! Plus, I enjoy how much more you guys melt every time it gains a position or airplay on Alternative. Go George!!

This will in no way go #1 here. Its bullet is down to 5 and it's dropping pretty hard (-26 for today). Doubt it goes any higher than where it is now.

I don't think this will reach #1 with its bullet continuously dropping. That said, this is a guilty pleasure.

I said.
Looks pretty crazy on paper. Anyway, I was on facebook with a couple of "Stolen Dance" haters and that's how that post came about, but seriously I think "Stolen Dance" is one of the most undeserving number 1 songs on Alternative charts ever. and yes it looks like "Budapest" is also here to stay for as long as it can piss off Alternative fans.

Funny thing is that Billboard didn't even classify his album as "Alternative". Hey, wait..... if this starts to plummet, then Stolen Dance will move up one slot :(

Not really getting the hatred for this song here. It's probably one of the least offensive songs I've ever heard (maybe that's the issue?). I don't think it's bad at all. It hasn't gotten a ton of radio support around here--I know for sure that 89x has never added this--but I'm starting to hear it in all sorts of other places besides radio. Usually in stores that are known for playing music that is ultimately a lot worse than this, making it sound better and me relieved to hear it whenever it's on.

My idea of a voice that's terrible is something more like this one time alternative rock darling: but, to each his own! I think his voice is fine. He definitely doesn't look like somebody that has a voice like that, though. On that topic, he looks just like that d-bag Todd Alquist from Breaking Bad.

I find this song boring & borderline irritating < Milky Dance < Riptide < TMTC
I'm sick of all 4...I like my alternative music to be fun (b-52s) or depressingly gothy (depeche mode) or at least rockin w/ a good beat (muse)
