I really like this. I love the lyrics and how it connects to the story.

I donno how I'd feel about that. Meg Myers is a 90s alt/pop chick wannabe. Ask yourself, would Alanis, Sarah, or Sheryl sound good singing it lol? I'm really not sure what I'd expect from that haha. Sarah from Phantogram? Cause I've been pushing for her to sing it this whole time. I've only heard "Desire" from Meg Meyers, and that's not too far off from "Closer" and I think she sounds sexy, scary, and seductive. I think she could pull off "Closer". No, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan, and Sheryl Crow lol.

I think this will have a similar debut to Muse's "Neutron Star Collision"

And the Lorde payola train rolls on.
Anyways, for me this is behind "Team" but far ahead of the godawful "Royals" and "Tennis Court".

Some of you are just relentless. This new song of her's even has a bit more of an edgy Aleternative beat going on and you still shit on her. For me this new single shows me, she would rather maintain loyal Alternative rock fans , than frivulous fans just waiting for the latest ring tone. I think she is being smart. She might have a Mainstream Pop burnout, Which wouldn't affect me in the slightest, because that audience would be the ones missing out,but she won't have an Alternaive Rock one. Not yet. I'm hpoing a good run for her on the Alt charts.

Breaking records already: (Actually, any idea if this had an hourly deal? I know AllAccess has versions of the song with 5- and 30-second intros of Lorde introducing/discussing the song, which made me wonder. Didn't see any radio stations mention it on Twitter like country and pop stations did for Carrie Underwood and One Direction this week, though.) Per a post on Hits Daily Double, I believe the record is in reference to adds. It looks like one of those discrepancies we occasionally see between what's posted on All Access (30 adds) and how many stations are actually committed to it (apparently 53). We'll probably see the additional 23 in next week's All Access report, but I guess they're being treated as first week adds by the industry.

Anyone talking about a "Lorde burnout" can probably go eat their hat now.

I was Lorde burnedout (burnouted?) after several months of "Team" but since I never got to hear much of her last two singles, which were pretty great, I've wanted more non-"Team" Lorde hits for awhile now, and this is coming along at just the right time.

But pop can't be alternative. Says you. Seriously though. Pop is mainstream. Therefore, an alternative to the mainstream cannot be pop.

Well if Lorde shouldn't be on alternative, neither should Linkin Park.
"In The End" is clearly a pop song, never shoulda charted on alternative.
In fact, it's one of the biggest pop songs of the new millennium

I like it, but it never struck me as an Alt song when I first heard it. But it is New Wave, and that's basically what Alternative was.
