Rachel Platten is newly signed to Columbia and her debut single with them, "Fight Song," is approaching the top forty on HAC and will be promoted to pop soon, according to this week's Columbia promo newsletter.

Wow, her voice is gorgeous. I don't know if this anthem style song will get her a hit, but its a good effort.

Like I said in The HOT AC thread, I love this song, and I love 1000 Ships, which never charted on Pop, did it?
Anyway she has a beautiful voice and she is very talented. I hope she can make an impact on Pop Radio.

It would be nice for this to do something on Pop. Rachel having a hit on Pop radio would be awesome.

Since my last post went missing without a case, I am posting it again. Obiviously someone here thinks he owns everything and consider himself as the sole source for radios and singles plan. She's signed to Columbia records and "Fight Song" will impact Hot AC and Top 40 on 4/27. This song is also on AllAccess cool new music now.

I love that ad! So shady! lmao
She did 1000 Ships from a few years ago, right? I liked that song.

She opened for Andy Grammer when I saw him in Anaheim last month. Pretty lovely voice, but wasn't sold on the song then. I'll give the studio/radio version a listen and see if it grabs me this time!

I was in a similar position - I first heard it when she self-released it and two other tracks in December, and I liked it enough to repost it on SoundCloud, but only now has it really grabbed me and I'm really starting to enjoy it. Hoping this is another hit for her, at least on HAC. (Oh, and yes, Max, "1000 Ships" was her first single.)

All Access now showing the song impacting pop radio tomorrow (3/31)!! That's a month sooner than the original impact date of 4/27.

I said this in the HAC thread. Loved her song 'Begin Again' from Pretty Little Liars last season. That was great. This is too. She is a very talented girl and is actually really sweet too. I wish her the best!

Hmm..."Fight Song" debuted on Pop radio today, and only gained four adds. Hopefully that will pick up as she continues to advance on Hot AC.

It has been doing well at Hot AC, but it's not yet smashing there, and I'm not aware of it having any other monster source of momentum. Plus, what would be the point of moving the date up anyway? It's not like radio needs to wait until the adds date to start playing super hot songs (look at the last two Taylor Swift singles). Let the momentum do its work now, and then use the next month to make sure you clear the panel on impact day. I'm assuming the new date was probably On the Verge related...but I don't know exactly how.

Top 40 on iTunes! (#39). Also, now in its third week on CHR, it picked up 7 adds yesterday, which is a nice gain compared to the 4 adds it received in each of its first two weeks.

This is going to smash. It's slaying way too effortlessly without promo (outside of radio) for it to fail.

I am in love! I am seeing her live in July when she opens for Colbie Caillat and Christina Perri.
I can't believe this debuted and seems to be doing good. I'm going through tough times and this song is really helping me!!!

This feels like the Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) of 2015. Very easy hit.

Is there a promotion going on for this that I haven't noticed? #15 on iTunes and still climbing gradually. The only thing it has going for it is that it's almost Top 10 on Hot AC, but that can't be the only thing.
