So did "Beggin For Thread" and "Riptide", but their bullets never came close to this. And Stolen Dance did get an OtV deal too and is spending an eternity on the chart. Yeah, that too. I don't think Stolen Dance and this needed the deal, though. It's clear this is getting a lot of spins on its own too, judging by the updates.

The OTV deals clearly help songs reach the 11-15 range with no difficulty, but after that I think the deal's effectiveness wears out (see Trainwreck 1979, Somebody New, Beggin For Thread, etc.).
Regardless, I really enjoy this song and wouldn't mind seeing it in the Top 10. Doesn't sound like a #1 to me yet though, but that could change.

This is such a "meh" song. I don't hate it like I do Riptide or Stolen Dance, but am baffled by that +500 bullet. Even Stolen Dance had a +307 bullet at its highest.

I'm just as confused as you are. There's nothing special or good about this at all. Although, according to earlier posts, this has an On the Verge deal, so that's probably helping it.

I predict this thread will become the new "Stolen Dance" thread.

^It's kind of eerie how the same people are lining up on the same sides saying if they like it or not. Can't wait for this thread hit 15 pages by 2016!

You're not saying I have the same music taste as Dr. Indie?! ;) For the record, I don't hate this, but it's not something I want to hear all the time once it's in the Top 10.

I've never seen a bullet like that by an act I've never heard of or anything from in all my years of watching the charts. At least I think I've never heard from them. I'm sure I've seen that commercial everyone's talking about and the moment I finally get to hear this song on the Spotify or the radio or whatever, I'll be like, oh yeah, that song. It just leaped over a lot of up and coming songs I've already established as "liked", so this better be good.

I like "Jungle" more, but this is still pretty good. The "hey, hey hey hey..." part is always stuck in my head.

Those "hey, hey hey hey"'s remind me of "Blurred Lines", which I absolutely despised the few times I heard it. The song would be miles better without those IMO.

You have something common with Cody, whose worst song if Blurred Lines IIRC.

Oh, okay, thanks. -- Good the updates have begun to slow down, I didn't want this peaking and freefalling too fast.

I don't live in the US, but one of my pop stations already added this and is charting James Bay's "Hold Back the River" in their top 20.
