Oddly I do too. It doesn't scream pop, but something about it makes me think it could do well.

It really seems to me like a slightly more electric version of Fun, so I don't think crossover would be a problem since it's probably at least going Top 3 Alt, maybe even #1 since callout is strong and sales are pretty good for an Alt single at this early stage, and I'm so burnt out of "I Am" that I'm guessing other people might feel the same way in a month or so

Am I the only one listening to the crap out of "I Am" and still loving it?

"I Am" is incredibly boring and absolutely generic. No download.

It's probably just me - if most people aren't getting burned out of "I Am", it's got a really good shot at #1 after CWK - the burn rate on RTM.com is only 9%

I don't really get the appeal of "I Am." However, I really liked "Hollow Moon," "Kill Your Heroes," and "Not Your Fault."

I Am probably wouldn't even make my top ten songs off of RUN.

Don't know if that's a good thing, but at least that makes sense.

This should be able to hit Top 5 by Sunday. "The Wolf" and "Tear In My Heart" are both falling at a fast rate, and this is within striking range. Though there is a slim chance that "I Am" could pass it up. Either way, this should, at the very least, be at #6 by Sunday.

I'm happily surprised this got to Top 5 on alternative. I never expected this to get Top 10, let alone Top 5.

I've been playing "Kiss This" a lot recently, which reminds me of the upbeat singles Jet put out from Get Born. I think it would be a solid second single.

I never would have expected this to go as far as it did on Alternative either. Very good to see.

I hope this can be a pop hits. I know it's a long shot but it's something fresh for the format.

I see. I'm not sure if it has a sound that will cross the gender barrier. The rock gender barrier is always the hardest to cross, compared to the Hot AC age barrier, Rhythmic/Urban color barrier, Country geographic barrier which are crossed over more easily.

Even if women like it, I'm not sure they're gonna want to hear it between Justin Bieber and Tay Swift - if it does have good callout with females, IMO you'll probably see it on Hot AC, since those stations mix in more rock

Top 5 on Alt. Now that's something believable and something I can support. Can't wait for thier next single; even though it might be another 3 year old song?

I used to think Mika channeled Freddie damn good, but Luke is him reincarnated. This is true 70s Glam rock. They strike me as a young Aerosmith when I watch their vids. For this to crossover to pop would be a dream come true. means more songs like this would follow and that CHR chart would once again be worth listening too. I think Active better wake up and take it top 10 as well.
