my buddy (who i co-run my internet radio station with) seems to hate this song for what he claims is an obvious over-use of auto-tune...i don't know, sometimes my ear isn't sensitive enough to tell...i like the music anyway...who knows, maybe the guy can't sing w/o a computer <shrug>

It really doesn't even seem like a song that people would have a reason to hate - do you know these guys personally?

As it's also against the rules, consider this a final plea for the repetitive negativity to end. (It's fine to dislike a song - expressing that dislike repeatedly veers close to trolling.)

I've downloaded this one about 5 times. Each time looking for a better sound quality. That's how much I LOVE this song.

26 23 ATLAS GENIUS Molecules 706 668 38 1.809
This has kind of slowed down... top 20 is still possible in two weeks when Dead Inside goes recurrent, if it manages to escape the triple-trio-threat that is, Foals, Foo Fighters and Muse early (Robert DeLong and Halsey are also threats). It'll also pass Moaning Lisa Smile in a few days' time, and Crystals will be recurrent this week.
This is kind of sad because I thought among the three singles, the production of this song was the best.

This could still go either way I think - familiarity scores on RTM.com are still really low - so are sales, though

It's just taking it's time. It'll probobly gather alot of weeks before going top 10, but it will get there ;as most songs that I like ,usually take their time climbing the charts. I actually prefer a nice steady climb; than these 4 week climbs to the top 3 and then stuck on stupid for eternity.

Hey, as predicted earlier it's the "song of the summer" at +23 bullet right now. Sorry, I know it's trolling, but it's too funny.

Sorry, I know it's trolling, but it's too funny. you know what the difference between the people that said it was the "song of the summer" and you (saying it's not going to be)? They only felt it necessary to post their opinion once, instead of over and over again without contributing anything useful whatsoever.

Doubt it, delusional posters had high expectations, ridiculing me saying I had no idea what I was talking about, sure enoughbI was right. Just pointing it out. Nothing wrong with a "I told you so".

Come on, what's the use of predicting things if you have to be right in order to predict anything...
The reason you're trolling is that you keep posting unconstructive, nonspecific comments over and over that don't offer any insight into the song - only that you think it's dumb and that it sounds like other songs, and that you hope it fails, over and over through the whole thread - the fact that one person thinks it's dumb and not original IMO is really not useful information

I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing. Do I agree with him? No. Do I find it annoying? Yes. A little unneccessary and tiring? of course. But it's not trolling.

BTW I'm sort of afraid to post this in case this flops, but don't Atlas Genius songs take forever to climb the chart? When I looked it up, Trojans had a 52-week chart run (meaning the run was cut off after the 1 year limit), and If So took 25 weeks to climb and descend from #8

1. Yes, Trojans and If So took a while to rise, great songs. 2. Top 30? Pretty sure I settled with Top 10, but we'll see. Could have egg on my face could have not. 3. No insight? Learn how to read back pages, but I can say it again, sounds like four other songs released in past year, total rip off of Magic Man- Waves, completely unoriginal and for that matter lazy (repeating lyrics, come on). Zero pop potential, did say maybe a Hot AC peak in the lower 20s...that's not too rude.
At least I'm being realistic. I just get so tired of posters who think just because they really like a song, that it's a hit, and it will be huge, etc, and then going on to say if so,some says the opposite, that they are a troll and more or less clueless.
To sum it up, lazy, lazy, sophomore effort by Atlas Genius, IN MY OPINION. Not the song of summer, not even close, to even think that you should be banned on stupidity alone. It's selfish, and even more useless when people are unrealistic,
Rant over.

Nothing wrong with a "I told you so".There's nothing wrong with a single "I told you so". There's also nothing wrong with sharing your opinion. There's something wrong with shouting "I told you so" from the top of a mountain and REPEATEDLY shouting "I told you so" until your throat becomes coarse from all of the shouting, while all everyone else wants you to do is stop shouting, because we heard you the first ten times that you shouted "I told you so".

Most stations playing this are holding it in light rotation - a couple are increasing spins, one station is dropping it, but they're also dropping Sedona, Ghosts Of Beverly Drive, and Empire
This happened at one point to The Wolf, Crystals, Cecelia And The Satellite, First, Hallelujah, and prob a lot of other songs climbing the Alt chart
IMO it could be done, but way too early to tell, especially since this same thing most likely happened to Trojans and If So, judging from the length of their chart runs
Most Alt stations aren't like HAC or CHR - the normal pattern is to hold a song in light rotation for a while, then increase to medium for a while, then increase to high etc.

It's selfish, and even more useless when people are unrealistic, Rant over. can we stick to critiquing the music & not the critiquers? calling other boarders "stupid" is rude & unnecessary - let's not lookup to Donald Trump as a role model, ok? & a little unrealistic fantasy never killed anyone - Dr Indie does it all the time & it just makes me smile - he makes Pulse fun it's fine to point out that you think someone's opinion is unrealistic, but you want us banned for overly wishful thinking??? - but who gets to decide what's realistic? this is all subjective & guesswork - time will resolve our debates (about chart performance anyway) I say, let's try to be friendly & respectful & let us please heed administrators warnings btw, I'm wondering if my post here is completely hypocritical - even if it is, I'm just trying to call for us to raise the level of our dialog a bit & if that makes me a hypocrite then so be it

You guys are good people, seriously. Love the thread. Just sticking up for people who pan or are negative who are made to look like fools when realistically, they know what's up.
