Another European hit crossing over: #1 in Germany and the Czech Republic, plus top-ten peaks in Australia, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland. Signed to Columbia here, this goes for pop adds March 31, according to FMQB.

Just outta class so no listen yet...but a Euro song having a title like that already has won me over  

Edit: Just as hot as expected

[Rocky]

In a perfect world this would smash...

[Au$tin]

Awesome! I just discovered this. I hope it does well.

[Juan Carlos]

Yay! I hope this finds some success in the US too and, as a side note, this could lead to finally unblock the music video in my country

[howardessex]

This will be his first hit in UK .getting heavy airplay and big sales for pre order . He has had huge hits in Europe , especially France and Germany , but first time in UK . If he can crack US as well he will be a happy chappy in 2015 ! .

Ooh, this is nice! Add me to the 'hope this is a hit here!' pile

[Juan Carlos]

And the UK could be added to Marlon's top-ten peaks around the world, since it debuts at #7 there this week.

Well, this is not yet on the south of europe (not in Portugal, not in Spain either).

At first listen i kind of like it. It has some atmostpheric sound that it's hipnotic, and this kind of songs usually grows with every listen

[Juan Carlos]

The impact date has been pushed back to April 21 according to AllAccess.

The Dave Audé mix is the most radio-friendly. It's the mix I hear on Dance Factory Radio in suburban Chicago, and I hope it's the mix Top 40 stations play, like how the Mike D remix was the radio mix for Gotye's smash. The original mix is just too slow.

Nine adds this week, including Z100 in New York City.

I like it too.

I'm very surprised (in a good way) that this is taking off in the US so far. It's very European.

[Linnethia Monique]

I love the Matoma and Samuel remixes to this. Perfect summer time music.

[Mirago]

It only took one listen for me to purchase this track - hot tune!  I'm excited to check out the remixes you guys have pointed out!

He seems super cool.
1) I had no idea he used to be part of Mattafix. Their song "Big City Life" was HUGE in Europe back in the day, so he's already had one foot in the door as a soloist.
2) The Caribbean influence was too subtle for me to detect at first, but now that he's mentioned it, it's sooo obvious.
3) He grew down the street from my former neighborhood in London :o

I like it.

[anafan]

Great song

[Mirago]

Any updates on how this tune is doing with radio spins and sales?  Still kicks.

[allow that]

I was wondering too. This pulled in some top tier stations a month ago then did nothing it seems.

[Ky]

I think it was at #51 at one point too. I was hoping it would slide into the top 50 this morning. Based on quick cut data, it has at least 373 spins with LA at the top of the list. Hopefully it can do something.

My sister just showed this song to me and I like it.

Sometimes it's very difficult to understand why some songs become hits and other don't. This failed in USA and was a decent hit in some european countries, and then you have something like Cheerleader (which with all respect is very very far from having the same quality) became a hit everywhere.
