Picks up 2 adds on Alt this week, and more than likely the second single from Hold My Home and the follow-up to the unfair low peaker, "All This Could Be Yours". Also a music video was released a few weeks ago. ETA: Sent to Rock formats via HitDisc.

Impacts alternative on February 17 per All Access. I don't expect it to do much, though.

I like the melody, but I'm not a fan of his vocal tone and I'm getting tired of this style. Musically; it's borderline minimal to my ears.

Hang Me Out To Dry was great & then they kinda sucked for awhile but this album is a big step in the right direction. This song is not as good as ATCBY but I'll definitely chart it.

im liking the look of the update today smash alert It also picked up 7 adds this week.  I hope this does do well just for the sake of them getting a well deserved hit. I mean it deserves it, but so does like every other single they've released. |

Chorus sounds so much like Shinedown's "Breaking Inside".

This has already outpeaked "All This Could Be Yours". With a decent bullet, The Black Keys, Incubus and maybe Matt and Kim crashing, a possibility to pass Uma Thurman and only Panic! At the Disco and maybe Neon Trees as their competitors, I can see this easily going top 30.
21 24 BLACK KEYS Weight Of Love 582 702 -120 2.089
...
27 28 MATT AND KIM Get It 492 524 -32 0.978
24 29 INCUBUS Absolution Calling 447 564 -117 1.743
...
31 31 FALL OUT BOY Uma Thurman 426 417 9 1.428
37 32 COLD WAR KIDS First 405 332 73 1.483
...
96 41 PANIC! AT THE DISCO Hallelujah 252 36 216 2.096

Glad this is doing well so far, they may very well finally get themselves a top 20 hit.

I'm genuinely surprised at how well this is doing. I can see this hitting Top 20 as it is still gaining adds each week. Such a great song. I wish Cold War Kids were able to go Top 10 with each single lol. They're that good.

This is #1 material for alternative. I even see CHR potential.

I'm obviously in the minority, but this isn't one of my favourites by them.

i'm with you Pipa...while i do like the song, its nowhere near as good as ATCBY or Hang Me Up To Dry. This is VERY pop sounding to me, so i agree that it has crossover potential.

Miracle Mile is the best song over their career for mine so far...

I like Hang Me Up To Dry and Hospital Beds a lot better, but this is probably an easier sell for radio

Debuting this on my chart next week...first time they'll have charted for me since "Hang Me Up To Dry" in 2007...that's quite the gap.

I somehow doubt an indie rock band that have been together for over 10 years are trying to sound like Shinedown in any way, shape or form. Pure coincidence, although you're right in that the songs sound similar. |
