I need this to tear s**t up on radio for months and months, and I'm 100 percent sure that's exactly what's going to happen. Unfortunately. Radio loves to kill good songs with overplay.

I would actually be shocked if this became a big pop hit.

I would actually be shocked if this became a big pop hit. I'm leaning towards agreeing with this. This is based on a style that was never all that big at pop radio to begin with ("Word Up" which went to #10 is probably the most similar that went Top 10), although it was very big on urban radio. It's the same reason I knew "Take Back The Night" would underperform despite being by one of the biggest acts of the past 15 years and following a major hit. It's a throwback to a sound that didn't even capture mainstream audiences when it was at its peak (and that peak occurred when today's average pop listener's parents were still in grade school). I could see this getting a lot of initial hype since it's Bruno and then returning poor callout scores.

#2 Most Added on pop with 60 adds. (Whoops - I wrote "bop" instead of "pop" at first. Not wrong.)

Sooooo funky on my 5th listen. A lot of variation, and it sounds so fresh on radio.

I hope radio continues to support this. Variety has been embraced this year instead of just generic pop like previous years, we are getting a lot of different sounds, and I love it! Let's see if we can add some TRUE funk to this year's mix!!! <3

There is a radio edit version of this that is 3:57 in length. Thank God. Although even that seems longer than it needs to be. Absolutely love the song - one of my favorite releases in a while - but nothing of note happens in that final minute or so.

Well, i didn't like the song at all at first listen (at least i didn't hate it like i hated Bruno's Treasure). Maybe i get used with more listenings but i never was a fan of that sound

There is a radio edit version of this that is 3:57 in length. This radio edit almost gave Mark a heart attack. Someone messed up the radio edit at the last minute. So he was on the phone at 5am w/ his mastering partner in New York trying to fix it.

For someone who typically dislikes the bulk of Bruno's songs, I'm shocked that I like this.

I love this! Reminds me of late 70's/early 80's funk.

Wow, this really does sound straight out of the early 80s. I predict that this will have a quick rise and fall to #10 or so. Bruno's name and the fact that it's catchy and unique (to 2010s radio) will allow it to fly up the chart, but it strikes me as the type of song that pretty much everyone will tire of quickly.
I loved Mark Ronson's Version album and gave it quite a few plays back in 2007/2008, so I'm happy to see him finally appear on the Pop chart, even if it's almost entirely thanks to the featured artist.

I need all those 1D instagrats gone and Bruno to rise into the top 10 on iTunes. Love this and hopefully it'll be able to go top 5.

I hope the video is a throwback too. Knowing Bruno and Mark, I'm sure it will be. This has been on repeat this week!!

I wish this didn't remind me of "Walk the Dinosaur". It's all that's keeping me from liking it to loving it.
