Blue October with an 80's vibe. Is this a first for this band? I don't think his vocals really fit this style. This is more for Billy Idol, but I do like the song overall.

This is the best song I've heard from them in quite some time. Love the retro vibe. I've been kind of disappointed in their last few releases, so this gives me some high expectations for this new one.

Yeah this is quite solid. It's no "Hate Me", "Dirt Room", or even "Bleed Out" as far as lead sIngles go but I can get behind this sound for sure.

This is selling really well, and I'm quite excited about that. This is a great song. Sounds like they were listening to some Future Islands when they went into the studio.

To answer people’s questions on why this is doing so well digitally: it’s the first week of release and it’s the fourth track on Hot Tracks – great promotion for it.
Up to #32 now.

I never knew this band had such a poppy side to them. "Into The Ocean" is another one I just discovered form 2007 ,that I really liked.

After listening to some of their other songs for the 2006/2007 alt rankdown, this is strangely optimistic for them.

37 36 BLUE OCTOBER I Hope You're Happy 382 356 26 1.186
Consider the sales and the fact that this is by a semi-established alt artist, I was hoping this would be moving faster :(
Edit: Just found out that Bleed Out was actually released a couple albums ago and nothing was pushed to radio off their last album. Anyone know why this is? Could be impacting their success on alt a bit tbh.

"Home" from their last album was pushed but only went top 50. It fared better on HAC where it spent an eternity there. |

I'm just not feeling this song. I wasn't super into their last album either, minus a couple songs. Sway, the album before that, I quite liked as a whole. Even still, I'd like them to have some success with this leading into their album.
I enjoy how much Justin follows the charts though. He posted a few weeks ago that I Hope You're Happy is the band's 11th (I think) top 40 hit. He posted about Home when it was top 40 too... on Hot AC. He combines all the radio formats though lol, but his joy in sharing that news is kind of heartwarming.

Download? Check. Might as well grab the good 80's vibe stuff while we still lucky enough to have it.

I like the music video, and I love the story, but I think they could have come up for a better concept for the song's cover art?  |

So I'm loving the way this pulls me back to 1985. Easily one of my favorite songs of 2018.

Haven't commented about this song in this thread yet, but this is one of my favorites on the alternative chart. Glad to see it doing well.

Have I mentioned, that I was hooked the first time I heard this, by just that drum intro alone?
