Is it possible to hate a song even more after seeing the Music video? man, this is more "cheese" than a quesadilla can have. LOL!

I still like this song, but yeah I'll agree that the video sucks. It's a stupid premise that they don't do anything with, and the lead singer has no stage presence (though he is kind of cute).
Side note: What are sales like for this?

92ZEW has been playing this lately and like I don't hate it. There have been far worse offenders on alt lately than this song, it's dumb but at least it's listenable.

Yeah I don't think this would be getting as much hate as it has if it wasn't by AJR and if it wasn't being sent to a format that it doesnt fit

It's the music and song that I loathe. I never even heard of AJR until this year.

I'm starting to like this, but the video is mediocre. I agree with Anna, their vocalist is cute but without a presence.

Fuck this was a possibility I wasn't prepared for. I thought it should at least lose its bullet around this point since it's so old, idk who's buying this, and I can't imagine this getting good callout, but I guess I shouldn't give much credit to the same format that sent TIAB to #1...

I'm sorry for all the shit I gave "No Roots", I'd rather that spend 10+ weeks at number 1 than this get a single week at number one.

It's #223 all-genre on iTunes, and the album re-entered the Independent Albums chart two weeks ago (though it's gone for now), so there's somehow an audience for this song, as much as it pains me to say it. The last time callout was released, it also had the third highest positive and fourth most favorite.

They play guitars, bass, and percussion; this fits fine on Alternative. Even songs that don't have those instruments get played on Alternative too. This song isn't really an outlier on Alternative (e.g. Twenty One Pilots - Ride, Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah, Hoobastank - The Reason)

Drink the "No Roots" juice with me, Cody and whoever else has it at #1. ONE OF US I'm there with you, I'd have No Roots be #1 for the rest of the year if it meant this song completely disappeared. This song doesn't belong on Alt. It doesn't belong on Pop. It just....doesnt belong.

3 3 AJR Sober Up 2915 2911 4 10.416 D I E They play guitars, bass, and percussion; this fits fine on Alternative. Even songs that don't have those instruments get played on Alternative too. This song isn't really an outlier on Alternative (e.g. Twenty One Pilots - Ride, Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah, Hoobastank - The Reason) Yeah but the song structure, melody and production is quite poppy. By that logic Maroon 5 and One Republic fit on alt too.

Yeah this will likely not reach #1 unless they suddenly push this one harder, since "Whatever It Takes" looks to already pass P.TM by the end of the week.

Even if it happened, Maroon 5's only alt charter actually fits the format fairly well and was before their CHR days, and One Republic's charter was really just a fluke due to a HAC/Alt hybrid having it in heavy rotatation. Also most importantly, neither of those made it anywhere close to #3. I don't think I'd care if this scraped the top 40, hell Katy Perry scraped the top 40 once.

Back then "I Kissed a Girl" needed a heavier rock mix. These days it'd need a lighter alt mix.

damn Maroon 5 has gone right into the crapper with that song. I haven't kept up with them for a few years. I remember liking "One More Night" and "Payphone"(the HOT AC version without the Wizard guy), but if "Sober" is here to open up the door for shit like that, then we are fucked. >

tbh OneRepublic had some Alt smashes on their last album like "Wherever I Go" and "Kids". Some Miike Snow and St. Lucia-styled indie pop.
Hell, even "Oh My My", "A.I.", and "NbHD" fit the landscape of Alt.

I think it would be better if AJR quit EDM-Jon Bellion type sh*t and just switched to alternative.
