I think once this goes top ten in the next day or so and a lot of stations put it in heavy rotation from that alone, it should pick up in spins.

The sales will prevent this from reaching a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100. Yeah its peaks aren't really matching up to give this song it's best possible chance at a higher position.

As long as this for sure goes Top 10, I'll be pleased.

I'm glad to see this reaching Top10 soon! In fact, this is barely heard in DC. I haven't heard it in our Pop station (Hot99.5), where I can see it is at #59 on their playlist (probably played at 3am?!). It is good though!!! I like the Rap over the original version, makes it more interesting (the original had a very long last minute repeating the chorus). I may even like this as much as Leavin' . That was a good song, but some of the lyrics made me irk: "shorty", "so fly", "to the left" (WHAT, yo?!) The lyrics in HDS are nice, natural, relatable. I'm also glad that it outpeaked It's Over. I couldn't stand the way Jesse pronounced some of the lyrics in that song. The bridge, the pre-chorus and the "messaGes" in the chorus reminded me of the way I learned to speak English in Peru, proNOUNcing stRonGgLY some syllables. I thought the sonh was okaaay (the video was awesome, though), so I thought its peak was just the correct. This is much better song IMO, and hope it can reach Top5 Pop... but seems hard with the competition behind him. Top10 is good enough, though. Congrats, twink!

^^ Me too, but I'm so glad for everything else. I'm so baffled how both Leavin and Sleep went top ten and Over didnt though. Did his company think he didn't need any promo? I haven't followed up closely....

Its Over was a complete mess. The beat didn't fit with his vocals. Glad this is going Top 10!

I think It's Over should have been a surefire hit really, as quite a few tracks on this album should, but he doesn't sound entirely comfortable at times for me... I think it could be lyrically improved in places as well. Pleased with the success of Leavin', but this is a decent album that should be/should have done more than it did.

This era has been truly fantastic for him. I still wish "It's Over" would have done better, but he has had some very nice success this time around. Hopefully he does indeed get another single after this.

Sales for this song should start increasing since the remix was released also. Hopefully the rerelease will do good also.

I still don't understand why It's Over did how it did for the life of me.

I still don't understand why It's Over did how it did for the life of me. Well it never got any real promotion. The video wasn't even released till the song had peaked. HDYS has at least had the advantage of a new remix to accompany it's single release, which has made it feel more like a new single than a follow up.

I prefer It's Over over this or Leavin' but I can kind of see why it underperformed.
