.... for "Cradlesong": #1 BB200 with ~300-350k ...Something To Be debuted at #1 with 252k, I'm pretty sure that given it's been 4 years since his last release and the downfall of album sales, it'll definitely be less than 150k. Although, Rob has a fair amount of fans, so you never know. Yeah, given the year the market has had, I'm revising my opening week prediction for the album to around 100k.

Anyways, after feeling pretty lukewarm on this since it came out, I've had it stuck in my head for the past few days, so that's a good sign that I'm liking it more.

Yeah, I think 110-125K would be doable for Rob's opening week. Hopefully, that will be a top 5 debut but I think the Jonas Brothers are releasing an album 2 weeks prior to Rob so they'll probably still be #1. Rob just isn't out in the public eye enough to pull in those superstar numbers. All the stars were aligned with the release of STB and he had a pretty good hit with LNM. I just don't see that happening twice for him. Hopefully, though, the album will have some longevity and at least sell 500-750k. I can't wait to see the video. I think it's going to be creepy like the album cover for Cradlesong.

Yeah I'm convinced this a grower...just that all these new pop/rhythmic stations aren't gonna touch it Kinda wish pop/rhythmic separated into its own format (or merged with rhythmic)...then Rob would have a chance -

"Her Diamonds" video directed by Dave Meyers. The girl is Alicia Silverstone. I love it. Goes along so well with the song. Makes me appreciate the song even more which is what a good video should do. Only complaint...not much Rob screen time. ;) www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?artist=1241405&vid=380630

I like the video. Kinda edgy. Much better than Rob's & MB20's recent efforts IMO. Still don't like the choir at the end of the song though.

I almost didn't recognize Alicia. But I love the video! It's very different.

That's Alicia Silverstone? It's been a while I've seen her! Great video. Very different from everything out there.

Yay! Daughtry will leapfrog over Rob probably tomorrow but I'm still hoping this can reach the top 40...maybe even top 30 if downloads are decent for the song. :)

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but in the radio edit the choir is cut off. (3:48 length vs. 4:40) I haven't actually heard the edit though, but it'll be on the Promo Only CD for June

^Yeah Q100/ATL plays this and def. can't remember a long choir-like ending...maybe just 15 seconds or so of female background singers at the end

The 3:48 version goes: bridge, one repetition of the chorus, short choir section, quick fade. The 4:40 version goes: bridge, two repetitions of the chorus (the 3:58 version only keeps the 2nd one), slightly longer choir section by about 12 seconds, no fade of the instrumental (which keeps a final lyric from Rob "I can't take these diamonds falling down", then an instrument fade except for the drum and one guitar, then a cold ending. www.imeem.com/robthomas/music/mY76c3CU/rob-thomas-her-diamonds/

Matt, have you watched the video yet? It must be the shorter version of the song without so much of the choir. I've heard Her Diamonds on the radio a few times now and it just seems to end abruptly or a commercial or DJ cuts in. I don't know. It's like here's a really good song with an awkward ending.

Yeah, I think the video uses the same 3:48 version that's up on AllAccess. I prefer the longer version myself, but would think it even better if the album version didn't have the extra chorus toward the end.
