this song somewhat reminds me of the band SAVAGES - now there's an awesome female-fronted band that can rock with the best of them

Suddenly this is trending up with a +161; greatest gainer in the top 50 among artists without a one-letter word in their name (2nd greatest gainer overall).

Their debut album My Love Is Cool just came out, anyone else listen to it yet?
I enjoyed it quite a bit, the band doesn't really stick to one song structure or sound, and Ellie Rowsell's vocals are really strong throughout. Hopefully this single can keep up enough momentum to grab a Top 10 peak, and then open up an opportunity for a second single like Giant Peach or Bros to build their Alt cred.

The whole thing is really solid but especially "Bros" that should definitely follow up this one as soon as it's done charting

89.3 The Current (Minneapolis) has been playing "Giant Peach"...i've only heard snippets of other songs but Freazy & Bros both sound like potential hits to me.
Anyway, this should finally cross into the Top10 tomorrow as its only 18 spins away:
7 10 MUMFORD & SONS Believe 1424 1634 -210 14 11 WOLF ALICE Moaning Lisa Smile 1406 1302 104

Looks like the fact that this didn't sell too well throughout its run caught up with it on its descent.
-417 bullet, and it's lost over 65 spins two days in a row. At least heavy recurrent play of this song won't be able to hurt a second single's chances. Either Bros or Giant Peach should be the next single imo.

My Love Is Cool is one of the best albums of the year and the best Alt debut since Crosses(or Pure Heroine).

the fact that sales are a factor into what radio should / should not play is maddening

I think radio stations needed this song to balance out their sound, but it turned out not to be something that not a lot of people were gung ho about
IMO if you want to balance out your station's sound with stuff that sounds like 90s grunge, just play 90s grunge...
BTW Pipa, I bet you Halsey's negative bullet is gonna be a lot worse than this

I doubt it. There's been a lot of hype around her upcoming album and Capitol is doing some promotion for her song. I think Halsey will unofrtunately, be the next Lorde, in that she's a pop singer disguised as an alternative singer.

^I'm not a big fan of X Ambassadors, but for me the lyrics make sense, and I can listen to it when it comes on the radio without getting really sick of it - IMO completely different than Halsey

Well I could do without having to listen to niether Halsey or X-Ambassadors on Alt radio...oh wait a minuit; lucky me, that's right; I listen to 91x. They play niether of those two They do give big spins to "Moaning Lisa Smile" even as it's falling off the Alt charts with a bullet. Lucky me again. ;)

I don't particularly mind this song falling fast, never was a huge fan in the first place. I think that's why it's going to completely collapse after it peaks - IMO way too much promotion for a song which I think Alt listeners will get really sick of really fast Please tell me you're right; it could be an X Ambassadors and spend 10+ weeks at #1 or a PRIORY and collapse after entering the top 10. Top 10? I hope that song stalls and collapses before it reaches Top 20.
