"Untouched" might be my favorite song of all time. It is so fun to sing along with, the video is hot, and the song is just catchy and creative!

I don't actually think this was the best choice for the US lead-off single. The song never really grew on me, to be honest, despite it being a hit here in Aus. Even with radio adopting a more dance-oriented sound right now, I think this was too radical a departure from the status quo that radio didn't really want to touch it. Something like 'I Can't Stay Away' or 'I Don't Wanna Wait' with a little bit more rhythmic bite to them could possibly have worked better, or even 'Hook Me Up' if they wanted to push the electro-pop sound.

I think "Take me on The Floor" would really establish them honestly.

I think they'd need to get a foothold before they tried that one in the US. It seems to be taking off fairly well for them here in Aus, but then again here they're coming off 3 hit singles. :)

I think "I Can't Stay Away" or "Someone Wake Me Up" would have been perfect lead singles. They scream HIT to me at least, I'm surprised they weren't even released in Australia.

They're coming off 3 hits and what's shaping up to be a 4th, so I'd say there's room for at least one more single. :) Unless they wanna pull a P!nk and release 7 singles down under.

I wouldn't be surprised if they got 6 singles in Oz.

"Untouched" is on Fuse's playlist now. :)
Anyways, I think "Take Me on the Floor" would've been the perfect first single choice in the US. I mean, look at "I Kissed a Girl". Katy's breakthrough was a real raunchy very WHOA! song. "Take Me on the Floor" has that same appeal to it. Listening to it the first time, I was like WHOA!. "Take Me on the Floor" could've been "I Kissed a Girl"'s match maker in the US. Then "Untouched" or "I Can't Stay Away" would've made good second singles. Plus, too, "Take Me on the Floor" would've been popular in US and Aussie at the same time, making it destined for the World Chart. "Untouched" actually had a really good start and peaked on iTunes inside the top 60, but then an EXTREMELY popular artist came through (I can't remember who. Miley maybe? Jonas? I don't know, they were popular, though.) and kicked them off the top 100. It's been hovering between 80 and 40 on iTunes Pop for a long time. Now, it finally cracked the top 40 on Pop and it even made it onto iTunes Top 120 again, but it's fallen off AGAIN! :( Now, it's being added slowly to more playlists, like Z100, and Fuse. Hopefully, it can get more exposure since the physical album release and we can at least see them back on Billboard's bubbling under. I want it to beat "4ever"'s peak at #116. (Actually, I want it to be a major hit and a huge smash and land at #1 for weeks on end, but it won't happen. :() All we can do is hope and request.
twentyontwenty@xmradio.com - Please e-mail them and ask them to at least put "Untouched" on their voting list. If we can get that, we got it in the back. We'd just have to keep voting for it until they start playing it.

I don't know if anything they would've released here would've been a hit. "Take Me on the Floor" wouldn't be as big because of "I Kissed a Girl" [no need for two ~raunchy genderbending songs~ on radio at once], "I Can't Stay Away" is a lot like "Little Miss Obsessive" which bombed, and "Untouched" wasn't even a hit despite being universally acclaimed.
These girls just won't make it in the US it seems, sadly.

Their music is still great IMO. And as long as they're a hit somewhere (Australia) they'll keep making music. So I'm content. :)

91 Spins on POP! Highest audience it's ever had as well, I think.

Thanks to CammyCan, in your posts above re "I Can't Stay Away" and "Someone Wake Me Up" -- those two songs are my absolute favorites from the whole album too! Singles or not, I still lile 'em the best -- both by genius team of Billy Steinberg and JOsh Alexander. (''Too Little Too Late" by JoJo, as well as another Veronicas smash, "When It All Falls Apart" from first album.)

This should so be a smash. It actually is on MTV Hits - not that that really matters in the grand scheme of things.
