Is this an April Fool's joke or...?

This looks more legit than the other ones, I must admit.

Genuinely would not sound out of place on Alt.

Honestly, if you blind test this without the artist name, in a sonic sense, it doesn't differ much from a lot on what's on the Alt chart.
Do what Q101 Chicago did back in the day with Hanson's "This Time Around" Play it but don't say who it is for a while. You may be surprised at the results.

Several Alts also gave spin to "Great Divide" (two albums later), which was really rockin' compared to "This Time Around".

Is this an April Fool's joke or...? Can confirm from All Access, this is indeed under CNM for Alternative and Triple A. Glad it is. The moment I heard it I thought Triple A would love this and that Alternative might want to try it.

The bridge to this sounds very much like the bridge of James Bay’s “Pink Lemonade”

Completely agree this could crossover as it can easily be played next to similar songs like Wet Legs' Chaise Lounge. That and if Halsey went top 20 with You Asked For This last year this equally has a shot

Wasn't this guy from a boy band at one point? Anyway this isn't bad at all. Would he be the first ex boy band wonder to cross over into Rock world?

Harry has charted on AAA anyways – "Sign of the Times" went top 30 there. I believe we even ranked it in the year it charted?
I'm all for this charting here. I'm a sucker for this kind of sound. This gives me Dayglow over a Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever production kinda vibe. Wish it were a bit longer and fleshed out more though.

Harry should have sent "Adore You" and "Golden" from his last album to AAA. That type of catchy upbeat soft rock should be an easy sell on the format. This is more solid stuff from as well.

This got 9 adds on Billboard AAA this week (including 3 Billboard-only stations), so this is happening on AAA. Half of those adds to my knowledge did not add Afterglow, to solidify this.

So far, this song is the first one of 2022 to be liked by everyone in our house - myself, my 13 year old daughter, our 17 year old German exchange student and my country music loving wife.
