This is so catchy, I love it. And it's selling very well without having big radio support. I don't understand why radio isn't playing it more.
It's a smash waiting to happen. I hope they realize it before it's too late.

I f**king love this. I first heard it on the radio the other night and I thought it was Justin Timberlake at first, lol. But omg this is so catchy and I love the vocals & the bridge is flawless! What a great song!

What a great song! The whole album is incredible. He is such a great young songwriter. He reminds me of a male version of a 2006 Taylor Swift. His debut album is my favorite from any new artist since 1D's "Up all Night."

The lyrics are a little young for me, but it's a nice song. I play it frequently. He's a cute kid and he has a nice voice. I'm sure he'll blow up with this during the summer!

Shawn did more of a "full band" version on the Canadian MMVA awards this week. Really good!
Also this week he will have a new version of the music video of it.

But the music video is perfect as it is? :/ Hopefully this one is the same general concept

The new video is good, simple and effective.
The label messed the release of the singles, but now all seem to go way better, they seems to let him grow his own path, and they are not trying to make him another teen idol stereotype and even better they are not messing his looks to make him hot or something like that.
Another thing that it's very good for him is the way the album is doing, he is selling enough to guarantee more albums in a future, but not on the smashing phenomenon mode that probably would make the label want to exploit his image and career in a fast pacing way. If everything goes this way, he'll have time to grow as artist without being overexpossed

28 on itunes right now. Hopefully this success in sales will help the radio airplay, because radio is still very reluctant to play him (at least in comparision to other singers with similar success)

I don't know why Pop radio is so reluctant to play teen boys but they'll play teen girls so much easier. If they have the talent and fan base, it shouldn't matter what gender they are! Once radio realizes that in all genres, radio might be worth listening to again.

I think in Shawn's case is a combination of two thing, being a teenage boy, we have sereral examples of that reluctance and even Justin Bieber face during a good while (which is curious because generally teen boys are the ones who have the more vocal fanbases) and he being an internet star (being and internet star is almost the equivalent of being a talent show contestant) By the way, the song it's at 24 on itunes, i think radio wanting it or not this song is going to happen anyway

The video is simple, but good. This is definitely shaping up to be his breakthrough single.

The callouts are good, so radio should make up its mind and start to play this.
That part of the chart it's incredibly stagnant. And curiously the songs that are receiving support are simply pushs from the labels (like Kaya Stewart)

This legitimately sounds like a #1 pop hit to me. It's catchy, clever, properly produced and well performed. All right, Shawn, let me go ahead and spend these coins on you.

I like "Something Big" better. Something big is the typical teenage song that won't do nothing positive for his future career (not even being the hit it wasn't). Frankly i'm starting to find really annoying the way the chart is moving right now. Radio is ignoring songs that are doing well (at least for the their airplay) and pushing some others that are not even top 100 on the itunes chart

This should be doing way better than radio is treating it. Same goes for King.

The thing that I found annoying is how they aren't playing the songs doing well on iTunes/Hot 100. but you know, that gives more diversity in the songs people listen to. Most people have listened to songs that chart high in Itunes/Hot 100 so i think it's a good thing :)

They are not betting in something new or refreshing, they are doing in artist that the labels want to promote. They ignore what people want (the ones that are selling) and that's the best way to be irrelevant in a near future. One thing is betting in new artist and other simple payola
