The third single from her album in Canada it appears. C100 played it on their nightly battle and it won for Monday night. I predicted this would be third as it was the most obvious choice. It's a good song! I'm hoping 'Waiting For The Sun' is fourth but they'd probably go for a ballad. 'Asylum' would be an awesome choice!
Apparantly this song was originally written for Gwen's LAMB CD (where Chantal also wrote the hook for 'Rich Girl') but she kept it for herself, rewrote it and used it for her album. When she presented the new material to her label, this was the song they went crazy for (as I think I mentioned in a post in the Ghost Stories topic over in the Music News forum!)

4 spins on Hot AC so far. I'm guessing they've all come from C100 in Halifax, who were also the first to play 'Wonderful'. It also means that it got played again 20 minutes ago and is up to get played again in 40 minutes if it wins the song battle.

I still haven't heard "Wonderful" enough yet. I'm glad she will have a third single... hope to hear this on the radio soon.

I heard this tonight on a new music challenge. She's up against Sheryl Crow, and losing right now. I like it on first listen, but I think it'll be one of those songs that you need to hear a lot to really like it. So far, it's way behind "All I Can Do" and "Wonderful" to me.

Sheryl Crow? What song?
I liked it pretty much right away but I'll agree that it's not as instantly catchy as 'Wonderful'. It's miles ahead of 'All I Can Do', which is my least favourite song on her album and least favourite single she's released so far.
According to Mediabase, this has received 5 spins. I assume all of which have come from C100 so far (since the last update) since Daughtry won on the battle. Chantal won two nights and lost the third so that equals 5 spins. It hasn't been added by C100 though.
I'm hoping this song does as well as her other third singles 'Wayne', 'Souls' and 'Julia'.

The Sheryl Crow song is a cover of "Not Fade Away" that I hear is on a hair commercial. The station called it her new single, but I don't know if it is or not. Sheryl won with 79% of the vote. That's interesting about "All I Can Do"...that's actually my favourite song by Chantal. |

All I Can Do is In This Life's uglier, less-catchy sister. Wonderful and Ghosts Of You are both fantastic.

Fo sho! I've outplayed 'Wonderful' now but I still like it in the context of the entire album whereas I usually skip 'All I Can Do'. I'm totally blasting 'Ghosts Of You' all the time now tho!

Yay, I finally got the CD.  Any word of a fourth single? I never heard this song at radio... I just checked and it falls from #38 to #48 on the Canadian Hot AC chart... where did it peak? AC is still on "Wonderful", which is at #6 (pretty good, I still find it pretty fresh since I didn't have the CD until now)... I suppose they could push a new song to AC after this and skip "Ghosts of You", but I don't think AC usually takes more than two songs from one album, even from core artists. |

No word on single #4. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a new Chantal song as well on the radio charts but nothing. I'm hoping they go for a 4th though but 'Ghosts of You' wasn't as big as her previous album's third singles... well, probably comparable to 'Souls', actually.
The song peaked in the mid-20s on Hot AC. Maybe #24 or something like that. I still hear it a fair amount on C100 in Halifax. I'm surprised at how well 'Wonderful' is doing on AC, especially considering it came out like 9 months ago or something originally. I guess as long as there's still a song from her getting tons of airplay, the project is still on the go?...maybe not considering it's AC tho, eh? lol

Now that I've listened to the song more, I really like it. I can't even imagine Gwen Stefani singing something this emotional.
