Yikes. (For those who don't visit that forum, this is "coming soon" to HAC - pretty quiet so far on if there will be a pop push.) Haha just wait. This is ID we are talking about. CHR is currently busy helping out in the comeback of the spoiled brat. A. Spoiled brat? I don't get it :/ B. I wouldn't count on it, with "I Bet My Life" having stalled out early there. (I think this is better, though.)

Just wondering if anyone else has heard this on a car radio, cause it sounded pretty bad when I heard it today, almost like the radio couldn't handle all the sound coming out of it - it sounds great in hi-def on my computer, but I think they need to remix it and make it less cluttered if they want it to do well on radio

It sounds ok when I listen to 91x live on my P.C.. I mean the quality of the song, not the song itself.

Pretty weird timing, but there's a new "Shots EP" out today (at least I think it's new) with a remix charting on ITunes for the first time - EP has two pop remixes and one acoustic version - can't believe this happened right after I made that post

The "Broiler" remix? It's a definate improvement to add an indie pop vibe to the song . I like the part with the synths. The only thing is; that the chorus sounds a little rushed when heard in this style.

^Yeah, I don't know what to make of that remix bc it sounds all out of order (and too fast) now that I've been listening to the original for months - maybe to pop listeners hearing it for the first time it'll work?
BTW this got 14 adds at Hot AC yesterday, and the new Third Eye Blind song got 6 Hot AC adds - I'm getting mad at the Alternative format for bailing on my favorite songs - the thought of them being mixed with Taylor Swift makes me shudder

This is probably done on Alt, but it's blowing up on HAC right now. I think this has a chance at doing better on CHR than on Alternative. It's a fairly poppy song anyways.

^Makes sense to me, this song is much friendlier for the Pop and HAC formats compared to I Bet My Life, which would have done better as a crossover in 2012 but didn't really fit for a crossover in 2015. (though had a pretty good run on HAC despite struggling on Pop iirc)

I expect Panic! At the Disco and Royal Blood to pass this by the end of the week.

I saw them tonight at Barclay's in Brooklyn. Had floor seats and besides them having annoying as FUQ drunk and mollied young fans, WHAT. A. FUCKING. SHOW. Dan is such a professional and brought a fan who has seen them 3 times in a row (including tonight) onstage to hug all of the guys and lead a chant in his name. That guy must be geeking out so hard right now. They seem like SUCH great guys and the stage setup was so cool. Dan spent most of the time on the catwalk or in the middle of the crowd. A+ show AND they did Hopeless Opus which they didn't do during their last show. I was expecting them to skip it. I almost cried.

This is now higher on Hot AC than its peak was on Alternative, and it looks like it's going to go much higher...

I'm still really confused as to what the problem was on Alternative - yeah, it was poppy, but IMO not any more than Shut Up And Dance

Alternative has abandoned this group as much as if Creed put out this song. I am pretty sure they are the "cool band to hate" right now.

When they figured out they were considered "lame" they dropped them, look at recurrents, almost dropped as bad as This Summer's Gonna Hurt...

^Wow - good to know Hot AC doesn't mind playing lame bands lol That's actually VERY and has been true for a while. Hot AC is aimed at an older demographics, you seem to be a smart dude, not too hard to figure out. I freaking love Matchbox Twenty and that's why they are still relevant there.

The Alt panel is actually pretty split now - some stations target younger, some target older, same ages as Hot AC - but Hot AC has way more women

Absolutely agree.
Now, back to rooting for Molecules to get a negative bullet, and Robert DeLong start rising, but "Long Way Down" is still Top 15 in recurrent so it has a while yet
