"Run" is killing this in sales - it freaks me out, though, and gives me nightmares "Run" has been in a popular Vine (I think I posted it above), and that's what's fueling its sales. It wouldn't surprise me if it becomes a Vine meme. Yupp. "Run" is everywhere. Also, #24 on Alt iTunes. ben777

^I've never used Vine in my life, but that's actually pretty hilarious.

I guess top 10 shouldn't be so surprising after the previous single was such a huge hit...but I find this song a bit underwhelming, not bad but nothing special

I loved Sail and his other songs from the last album were OK, but he's 0 for 2 with me this time. Hollow Moon wore out quick and I just can't get into this. Totally with you here. Also check out the couple years old song "In the Clouds" from Aaron Bruno's other project, Under the Influence of Giants, if you liked Awolnation's other album.

I grew tired of this pretty quickly, though it's still better than "Demons".

Still don't think this song is too great. Kind of interesting to see it on Active. Hollow Moon made since with the post-hardcore elements, but this has more of an indie pop sound. Well, Demons did nearly go Top 20 on Active, so I guess it's not too surprising.

With everything else falling, should have a shot up to at least #3.

prediction: this will be the next #1 song on Alt...agree? or do you think it'll be Could've Been Me?, Ghosts of Bev Dr?, Outside?

Both this and Could've Been Me are selling well, so I could see both getting a turn at the top, which would be alright by me. They'd be two of the best #1's of the year IMO.

I couldn't such different views on songs as I do these two. I would love "Could Have Been Me" @ #1. "I Am" going to number one would just be another crappy #1; which is pretty much what this year has offered aside from "Dead Inside" and , can't remember, but there has got to be another #1 on ALt I liked this year?

What's so crappy about "I Am"? I can understand not being a big fan, but it doesn't come across as being potentially grating to listen to. It's got a big sweeping chorus that sounds epic, and is pretty original sounding.

Just my opinion, so don't chew my head off. ;)I wouldn't put it in the "Renegades", "Ex's and Oh's" "Stolen Dance" "Riptide" pile, but it's still pretty boring. The best I can do for you is compare to another similiar sounding song in style that I also disliked. "Demons" by Imagine Dragons. It's those type of choruses that kill me. "First" also has a similar style chorus. Like, real slow and NRG draining. Hard to understand why those songs go #1. Totally the opposite of 80s , 90s and early 2000s.

It's really grating for me - the same line repeated over and over and over, until I want to punch the radio - I'm pretty sure it'll hit #1 though, unless Elle King outlasts it

I am not a huge fan of I Am. It's just boring. I don't hate it or anything, it just doesn't have any staying power for me, though. I'd like to see it go #1 though, just because I like Awolnation.

With consecutive updates of losing spins, I think it's safe to say this won't go no. 1 on Alternative.

Stressed Out should be the next no. 1.

At this point, I'm hoping anything will go to #1 (except "2 Heads") to get rid of "First", "Ex's and Oh's" and "Renegades". If "Stressed Out" is to be the next #1, so be it.

I liked this, but now it is just boring and repetitive. Still better than Elle King.
