it doesnt have very much audience, i hope z100 adds this soon, maybe we should all start requesting?

Actually, it has pretty good audience compared to the songs around it.

#60 - 2.078
#61 - 0.428
#62 - 0.721
#64 - 0.422
#65 - 0.355
#66 - 0.650

So between 60-66, it has the second highest AI number. Which is really good! Sirius and XM already spinning the song are really helping it. And yes, requesting at Z100 is key! Z100 needs to add this along with KIIS.

This is good cant wait! The only one of their songs i dont have in my revolving playlist haha, but im usually for their mellow/breakup songs anyway ha. Can someone tell me how Untouched got so popular in the US? I feel like someone mentioned something a while back about how there were a group of fans (alot of them) who requested Untouched on the radio, and purchased Untouched through itunes on a specific date? Or did it just randomly take a rise? I have a feeling TMOTF will either be really good, or way below the charts like Untouched.

I see it as that 3!0h3 song Dont Trust Me...

[Az Paynter]

Just randomly rose, I think. It didn't start taking off til like 6 months after its adds date where it was originally DOA. Didn't even get another one, it just took off!

[MyLastView]

I requested this on Z100. :) I will continue to do so. This deserves to be a big hit.

This is from music wikia...

The album was digitally released to US iTunes on May 12, 2008, and "Untouched" was released to US radio in April 2008 and again re-released in May 2008. However, the song failed to go anywhere on pop radio. The album was released physically on August 26, 2008. "Untouched" slowly began to pick up on pop radio. However, it started to downfall. Fans of the band who were members of the official forum were tired of The Veronicas' unsuccessful US attempts and decided to take matters into their own hands. Their strategy has never been attempted, but it proved to be extremely effective. They swarmed the stations that were playing the song with requests until it got big enough to catch another station's attention. Eventually the long process began to work. The song found its way climbing up and being added to many stations week by week. Eventually in late December, Z100, the biggest station in the states, caught attention of the song and the song zoomed up the charts. It peaked at number 12 on the Mediabase Pop 100 Airplay chart, number 17 on the Hot 100-making it the band's first ever Hot 100 charting song, number 17 on Billboard's Pop 100, and the song was even able to sell over 1,000,000 copies in the states, certifying in Platinum. The band was the first Australian act to reach the top 20 on the Hot 100 since 2002 with Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Outta My Head". They were also the first ever Australian act to sell over 1,000,000 copies in the US. This lead to the band letting the fans text into them picking what the second US single should be. "Take Me on the Floor" won and the song has already started making its way onto many charts.

I wrote it myself for music wikia. I just used it since I didn't feel like typing it again.

I'm a member on TVMB, I'm not sure the fans requesting really did much of a difference or it could have we will never really know.

All I know is many people worked hard requesting Untouched. Untouched started taking off again around October. I remember it would go up and down for months.

Anyways I'm going to call it right now. This will be one of the biggest songs of the summer. *knocks on wood*

[Au$tin]

^September is when they started doing it, and it kind of coincides with everything that happened with the song. So I'm going to stick with the thought of the fans helping the song become a hit.

[Az Paynter]

LOL it wasn't released in April then re-released in May. ;) The original adds date was in April, but then it was moved to May. Either way, the adds date itself was ineffective.

[lakita]

untouched has dropped so much on itunes :(

i wish it had more staying power like lady gagas just dance

[lakita]

i would LOVE an update *wink wink*

This is not taking off as fast as I was expecting it to.

[Az Paynter]

I think it's taking off quite nicely for them. :) It took ages for 'Untouched' to finally take off, and once it did, it never made it to super-smash status on CHR, so while I think stations are now more open to adding TMOTF because of the success of UT, they wouldn't be falling over themselves to jump on it.

[Mpol]

But with a hit under there belts you would have thought it would have taken off faster yes? I hope this is bigger than Untouched!

[vinyl]

Untouched didn't make the top 10; listeners aren't avidly awaiting their new single. Patience will be needed. ;)

[Az Paynter]

That's exactly my point. Enough people heard and like UT to make it a top 20 Hot 100 hit (it did go top 20, didn't it? That's what I recall) but since it wasn't like a Top 10/5 radio smash or digital monster, casual fans wouldn't be jumping at the bit for a new one yet. The success of UT was just enough to make US audiences more open to their presence. ;) :)

[Choco]

I agree, Untouched barely made the top 20 on the Hot 100, (#17 for a single week) so this is doing fine, is not like they had a #1 and then this flopped. This is already doing better than Untouched at the time. UT needed MONTHS to make the top 40...

[picklerclarkson]

YAY #96 on Pop I tunes!

This is doing really well, since Untouched wasn't huge.

I really love the acoustic version of this song.

[stereofidelic]

YES!!! Cracks the itunes pop 100! I'm officially pumped now. Cant wait to hear this on my radio station. Hope z100 picks it up real soooooon.

[David]

They need to go do some promo!

[Gray.]

Yay! Now if only Z100 would add this.
