PLEASE!!!! I can see this pulling a 'Who Knew'. I was going to say that when I saw this was going to have another try! Let's hope it works as well for "Sex On Fire" as it did for "Who Knew"!

This would be a good choice if they are afraid of one-hit wonder status as Pop artists. Use Somebody is huge right now and there is nothing else on that album that will come close to breaking CHR if this isn't released again.

No. No. No. No. No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I haven't turned my XM radio on in almost a month to avoid Use Somebody. I was hoping I could finally bust it out again soon ... never before has a band been capable of sending me into a blind rage just form hearing the opening notes of a song before I can change the channel. I'm going to have to cancel my subscription if KOL stay popular.

I was wondering why i keep hearing this on 95.5 plj all of a sudden. I guess their giving it another go. I hope its a big hit this time around and if its not then they should release Revelry or Manhattan.

This song is 1000 times better than Use Somebody. Glad they're giving it another try.

'US' blew up right away but 'SOF' struggled to do anything. I'm confident this will do well the second time. Caleb sounds so sexy in this song.

To continue from the last thread...
Yes, I realize that but Use Somebody is much more CHR friendly than this song. Like I said, I hope this is a hit as I love this song.

^ Actually this is far more CHR friendly than Use Somebody, and that's currently #1 CHR, soooo...

SOF is much more CHR friendly than US. Not sure why this didn't do it the first time US did but sometimes it works that way. I have a feeling this will be a big hit!

As much as I love SOF, I find US to be catchier and more instantaneous. However, SOF is definitely the best choice for the pop follow-up. I definitely think this will do well (especially as the follow-up to Use Somebody), but I think it will be more difficult for pop listeners to accept. However, KOL seems to be the new "I like KOL so therefore I like rock!!!" band so it will probably do great in that regard.

This song is brutal, worse than Use Somebody, and it needs to flop badly and go away FOREVER

Their entire album is good, so I don't really know what to say to that- but that's my opinion.

So I take it you'd rather hear rappers rap about lollipops and taffy than this?

Normally I would say this would flop on pop, but with Use Somebody going #1, who knows how this will do. It's definitely not as CHR friendly as US though, so I highly doubt they'll get another #1 with it.

To me, this seems so much more CHR friendly than Use Somebody. I mean, this has a really up-tempo explosive chorus while Use Somebody just repeats the same phrase over and over. Hopefully this smashes, it deserves to be huge.

I agree. I mean, no doubt it will do better now that they're coming off a #1 hit, but I'm not setting expectations any higher than top 20 right now.

Thanks for the arrogance. No one opinion is right thats why i said "to me."

I think this is the most overrated band right now. Like, REALLY overrated. I truly can't see the appeal. I've heard their songs, saw the videos and still don't get it. I think they are average at best, but deep down, they are just whiners.

It doesn't mean they are overrated when they finally find mainstream success. It's so easy to brand anyone overrated nowadays. Anyone that finds success, they are either branded overrated or a sellout.

Anyone that finds success, they are either branded overrated or a sellout. Right on. It's like some people can't win either way. In the end, you can't please everyone. And while everyone's entitled to their opinion, it can only go so far at the expense of others who don't agree. It's not like they achieved success overnight. It took them years to do so and I think they've earned it. Certainly can't say the same thing for everybody.

Smartest move they could have made.
They have some absolutely great songs. I can't believe they haven't hit before this. I've been very impressed looking through and hearing their back catalog.

I have no problem with them being successful - more power to them! What I don't get is some comments I've seen calling them the best band ever since The Beatles and stuff like that. THAT is whack!
