1000 Ships was a lot more catchier than this. I have no explanation to this songs success other than something to do with being a strong female (which I wouldn't understand, being a male), or really good promotion. There is nothing groundbreaking about this what so ever, seems like a Sarah Bareilles unreleased album track from the late 2000's.

It reminds me of Let It Go for some reason. Maybe because some kids were singing it at daycare pick-ups yesterday. I'm not a fan of the song but can see where it would be inspirational to many.

I loved 1000 Ships too. It was too bad POP Radio didn't pick that smash up. Fight Song is good too, but 1000 Ships should have done something, just like Fight Song is now doing.
1000 Ships did chart on HOT AC, though.

Taylor Swift probably bought 50,000 copies So this could beat her own song? Doubt it.

This sucks lol. That comparison to Sara's "Brave" is criminal.

Haven't hear this yet but whenever I see the title I'm like "This is my fight song an I'm gonna play it"

I like the verses, don't like the chorus except for the "I don't really care.." lyric. Possible #1?

God I hate that this is getting big. No not you too Selena. Your rooting for IRLY in the Carly thread was refreshing and awesome. What about this song don't you like? I can try and convince you to get on board haha.

God I hate that this is getting big. I don't hate, but certainly I don't understand the draw to this. It's very basic. Now what SHOULD be threatening the #1 position is "Talking Body". That's a great song.

I wonder if part of the reason this is taking a while to take off on CHR/Pop has to do with the fact that this woman is 34 years old. I know she doesn't look it, but how many female artists of late have had their "breakout" single released that late in life?

Still 3rd on iTunes. Never hit #1 on iTunes, but it came as close as .04 away at one point.

I was at the Taylor Swift concert in Philly on Saturday where she brought Rachel out to perform this. She seems like a sweet girl and looked great but God I wanted to gouge my eyes out at the soundtrack-level lameness of it all.
The other 3 songs on the Fight Song EP give me hope for her though and that she may not be as basic as this song is.

I noticed this song is in a commercial and is included in a womans video that has gone viral with over 40 million views. At least when they showed the womans video on "Good Morning America" it was being played. Those two things are probably helping sales out as well as it's continued gains in airplay.

love her and glad she finally found success on mainstream radio. On the other hand the song wasn't my favorite of her like everyone had mentioned across the board.

It definitely sounds like something you'd hear in a commercial. And I too am very surprised at how successful this song has been.
