It's logic, release right now it will be absurd with the freeze coming.
Why are you americans so obsessed with Christmas? Here you never start to hear christmas songs till mid december

I don't know, Christmas is a huge marketing opportunity here in the US and Christmas music comes along with it...

Adds date bumped back to 1/20. Probably smart since the first couple weeks of the new year usually seem pretty quiet for adds.

I don't know, i'm on the verge here. Yes, Christmas is not the best time to release the song, but waiting too much is a problem, the song is already on the top 100 of itunes (for a good while). It's going to make billboard hot 100 (probably this week), i wouldn't wait till the end of january. Anyway, it's climbing on hot AC so maybe it'll be very high when the release to pop.
I think the big risk is the song burning up before even reaching its potential

Wait - so what exactly is driving the sales volume for this song? This was performed by the contestants on last night's "The Voice," which, as far as I know, would have been its biggest exposure yet, but it didn't really move too dramatically on iTunes. So it must have a strong preexisting sales draw.

So it must have a strong preexisting sales draw. It got help from a proposal video in October, which helped the song a lot. Now it's $0.69 on iTunes and The Voice is also help..

Weird song in the sense that I never know how much I'll like it in the end as I tend to love it after one listen, then shrug it off after the next...repeating that cycle.

I really like the song now, it's the perfect song to rise your spirit when you are down.
Hopefully it will do some damage this year (it's doing well on Hot AC which is a good sign)

This is doing well on itunes even without the airplay, so i think it'll do great once radio is on board.
Probably will be back to the top 50 on the sunday's update (after the purges and recurrents)

Hopefully this will be a good adds week. This needs to start to rise, it's a catchy feel good song and it's selling well so radio needs to be on board

In my opinion they are waiting too much. Of course the song is still climbing in other charts and selling, but this could end backfiring. And the song is in the top 50 wihtout a big push, that should be enough to get a good bunch of adds. When a song spends too many time in the 40-50 part it's not rare that end not performing as well as people originally thought (and we have recent examples of that)

Adds date pushed back again to March 3. However, that makes a little more sense with this piece of news: they're an upcoming iHeartRadio On The Verge artist for HAC. I'd guess they're looking to make it an HAC hit, then cross it over to pop.

Hopefully it will be the last delay. The song is top 50, is doing well on Hot AC and it's top 100 on itunes. If they keep pushing the adds date it will look old which it'll be a pity on such fresh song.
Hopefully it will get some airplay before the adds date, right now the number of spins needed to chart on top 50 are very low
