I love this song, but I don't think it will do much.

Pop has not been too kind to Alt crossovers for some time - not really since ID's Night Visions, and even that band is struggling here now. The biggest crossovers have been having medium-at-best success over here, and I can't say I'd see this song doing anything to break that trend.

I would love for this to do something, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll take a top 40 appearance on Hot AC as a success.
I've said it a few times now though, this becoming a minor pop hit wouldn't be completely unheard of. In 2004, the thought of Float On crossing over was just as ridiculous, and it did anyways. We'll see.

Oh this is a nice surprise. Agree with Cody - if it gets touched on HAC I'll be content.

Whoa. I didn't expect this at all, it never struck me as pop-friendly much. I don't see it doing better than the #29 (or was it #32?) peak of Float On, although I'd love for this to be a hit like Shut Up And Dance, or even Riptide.

The biggest crossovers have been having medium-at-best success over here, and I can't say I'd see this song doing anything to break that trend. I disagree...Alt music is still crossing over..."Take Me To Church" Smashed hard..."Centuries" is a bigger hit then it's peak would have you believe..."Shut up and Dance" seems to be turning into a sizable hit...I'm not sure if Tove Lo is alternative or not...as "Talking Body" Does not sound too Alt to me...but my local Alternative radio station played "Habits" quite a bit...and they are not an alternative radio station that ever strays outside the alt genre....just to name a few of the more recent alt crossovers. That said...I would still be pleasantly shocked if this crossed over.

I'm surprised that they're pushing this at pop too, especially since "Dashboard" never got a push. This doesn't strike me as the type of song that would've done well here even at a time when lots of Alternative hits were crossing over. It has a somewhat poppy beat, but it's not too pop-friendly otherwise. I'll certainly be rooting for it though, as it's one of my favorite songs right now.

Wow, I checked this out of sheer curiosity and I love it on the first listen. I'm not sure if this can do anything on CHR though.

10 is 10 more than I thought this song would ever get.
This needs to crossover.

Just don't see this happening here. Womp. Pop has not been too kind to Alt crossovers for some time - not really since ID's Night VisionsI read this as 1D's 'Night Changes' and was all ......

I don't see this doing anything on Pop and I'm totally okay with that.

I don't know why this, Long Way Down, and (probably) Begging For Thread will get completely ignored by Pop. They all have that non-Pop friendly sound, but they were all released around the same time to Pop. That should have brought some attention to them...
