Ok, this is growing on me. Damn it. And what makes it even worse for me is that I cannot stand Tom Hanks. This is a crime.

Damn. I was down for this song but am now totally embarrassed for Tom Hanks after watching that video. Was rooting for her and all, but she's not worthy of such a high-profile lip-sync and to make matters worse he put 0 effort into it. He clearly just got a wad of cash thrown at him and didn't even bother to learn the lyrics to the song. Just totally bizarre and unseemly. It made me feel wrong.

If Carly wants to now sell albums and solidify a career she needs to be careful using star power to sell the video. The downside is that buzz will be more on Tom Hanks being a goofy character and less buzz and hype for Carly and the song.
This time around she needs to sell herself (not sexually duh) to the public, the personality, the quirks, the full tea. The music was never the issue last time. Her album was for me 7.5/10 in fun.

It'd be cool if they're going with a throwback feel to her album, to perhaps make an old school remix of it (complete with a sampled instrumental and a female rapper - may I suggest MC Lyte?) with a video?
Kinda like what Mariah Carey used to do back in the 90s.

This should be a smashier smash than it is so far. It sounds kinda like Talking Body, which I'd say the same thing about.

Talking Body? I don't see it :X I saw it too!!! The part where Carly sings "late night watching television" I always think Tove Lo will come in and say "Day drunk into the night". Also, will this song even chart this week? Do we have a sales figure? I don't think there's that many vevo views either :(

Couldn't make it through that video, so weird, and does absolutely nothing for her/the song. I think this song is going nowhere fast.

Hum, ok, so in the Behind the scenes video she explains that the concept of the video is that Tom is walking around rehearsing the moves and the songs lyrics to film the actual video, that sort of explain why he was so bad at lipping it....lol lmfao that sounds like damage control!

Maybe they want to try to go for a more organic build/don't want the song to burn out too fast, but you would think it would make more sense to blitz us with everything in the same week.

Good question, though FWIW, a fast check of the usual adds reporters (AA, FMQB, R&R) shows that currently hers is the only song going for adds that week. ETA: ...which lasted all of a few more hours.

There's something about her and this whole campaign that is painfully awkward. Yep. I still stand by the fact that this schtick of hers was suitable for a one-and-done kind of scenario, and now she's just reaching. And her age. [/broken record]

I don't know, the song is holding incredibly steady on iTunes and the video is helping it move back up again. I don't expect this to be a "Call Me Maybe" monster sized hit, but I definitely see this doing something.

I don't expect this to be a "Call Me Maybe" monster sized hit, but I definitely see this doing something. It's down to 77 and barely cracked the top 20... That's not exactly "steady." I was hoping this would be doing better, but it hasn't gone for adds yet so I'm staying somewhat hopeful.

For barely cracking the top 20 upon its initial release, it never left the top 200 (did it ever leave the top 100?) to my knowledge before the video's release. Sure, it fell, but it definitely didn't fall nearly as hard as it should/could have.

Why isn't radio playing this? Weird strategy to release the video before it goes to radio.

Debuts at 48 on the hot 100 this week "Call Me Maybe" debuted in the low-30s, so 48 is not too shabby given the lack of airplay or iHeartRadio pimping (a la Zedd & Selena). Still hoping for the best. . ...and once again, Carly, ditch the red hair for good!. I might still be crushing on you, but then again, I wouldn't dump my girlfriend if she got a hairstyle I didn't like. I think she looks better in the black-and-white promo shots I've seen on her Instagram. Those are actually pretty nice shots. But then again, it just might mask how ugly that shade of red looks on her. I know she said that "change is good" with regards to changing her hair color. But change isn't good when it looks tacky.

When's the radio adds date for this?
And are there any plans for a iHeartRadio/Clear Channel-type of deal?

I could definitely be wrong, but I'd assume the fact that the song hits radio three weeks after its official premiere date means it's not getting any sort of iHeart deal. Those deals are usually reserved for "world premieres."
