This is definitely my favorite single from Rob. I hope it's big!

I can't get to the chart in mediabase anymore that tells you which stations are playing a particular song. Does anyone know if many non-Cumulus stations are playing HD?

I'd say that's a rather good start considering overall audience for the song is only about 17 million and he hasn't had any appearances to promote the single or album in the US yet.

FINALLY it's on iTunes! Bought my copy today. Usually, I wait until the CD comes out so I don't buy the song twice, but I just started using the "Complete My Album" feature on iTunes... epic win.

I can't get to the chart in mediabase anymore that tells you which stations are playing a particular song. Does anyone know if many non-Cumulus stations are playing HD? Could only get stations playin Rob in their Top 30... KACZ/Salina KS KCLD/St Cloud MN KIXY/San Angelo TX KMXV/Kansas City (Wilks Comm.) KQXY/Beaumont TX (Cumulus) KRBE/Houston (Cumulus) KZIA/Cedar Rapids IA KZMG/Boise (Citadel) WAOA/Melbourne FL (Cumulus) WHHY/Montgomery AL (Cumulus) WHOT/Youngstown OH (Cumulus) WIXX/Green Bay WI WJYY/Concord NH WKZL/Greensboro NC WNDV/South Bend IN WTWR/Toledo (Cumulus) WWCK/Flint MI (Cumulus) WWWQ/Atlanta (Cumulus) WWXM/Myrtle Beach SC Really hopin the download #s get more CHRs to add Rob cause right now only non-Cumulus stations in decent market size I could find were WKZL/Greensboro and KMXV/Kansas City

This could be a surprise hit. He's a good guy and I think radio responds well to it. I hear Meltdown is a real smash but I don't expect that until the Winter as I really believe he'll put out a slower song this fall which apparently compares to "If You're Gone".
Rob = This generation's Phil Collins.

Rob = This generation's Phil Collins. Yeah agreed...(not sure if u knew) but he's actually compared himself to Phil Collins a lot in interviews, and cited PC as one of his biggest influences (IMO Rob's a lot better lyricist though ;))

Rob = This generation's Phil Collins. My guess the song called "Someday" that was on rate the music. The minute clip I heard was excellent. Of course, the minute clip of "Her Diamonds" I heard was excellent but then he threw in that choir at the end. LOL! Still not a fan of that. But, "Someday" sounded awesome! Having said that, there are 11 songs on the album that we haven't heard anything on yet.

Thanks Atlantaboy for that list of stations.
I think I've asked this before but has anyone seen an actual add date on pop for "Her Diamonds" or does that not really even matter anymore. I was reading the Daughtry thread and someone commented that his song was already top 40 before the official adds date. That's what made me wonder again about a date for Rob.

I heard a song called "Give Me the Meltdown" (I think) during the NBA game the other day, it sounded really good. I like this one too, I've always been a MB20 fan but I really didn't like Rob's solo stuff from the last album.

45 41 ROB THOMAS Her Diamonds 698 563 135 2.756 +9 spins -14 bullet -0.009 AI Not a great update is it. I think if we look at that list atlantaboy provided, it's mainly the Cumulus pop stations playing this song. I honestly doubt this has even been pushed to the format yet. Hopefully, Atlantic Records will push it at least a little bit as the album release date approaches. There's 200 spins from #41 to #40. Plus there's a few songs coming up behind this one. Then you'll have the new Linkin Park and the AI song. So who knows. I'm still hopefully though that it can hit in the 30s.

I wouldn't be worried about it, it hasn't been pushed and its doing pretty well on iTunes, I can see this song taking a little while to take off, but once it gets in the Top 40 it will gain more attention. I really think this will end up going at least Top 20, Rob has a huge fanbase.

^Yeah agreed that the I-Tunes rank is a good sign...for some reason Clear Channel really doesn't like adding Rob's tracks, but if it's gettin a lot of downloads IMO all those Southern CHRs w/o Hot ACs in their markets are gonna be under a lot of pressure to add it I think (Greensboro and Myrtle Beach are already on, hopin others will follow pretty soon)
Also watchin stations like WPRO/Providence and WSTW/Wilmington

This track is actually really clever IMO - just noticed the off-tune instrument in the background sounds kinda like tears fallin (and I think they turn it up durin the parts where he sings about tears)

I briefly read about it in an article. Little off-topic but Her Diamonds jumped from 51 to 9 in airplay in Australia this week. Rob and MB20 have always done really well there...better than in the states actually. www.aumreport.com/amr100.html

I dont understand why they released this on I-tunes the week of the Idol onslaught.
This would get lost in the shuffle.
And why did he not perform this on Idol?

For instance, it took listening with headphones to hear the subway car noise on Unwell. So much thought and effort goes into every little sound decision and we usually miss 90% of it. Oh, just remembered I got the single in the mail yesterday. Will have to listen to it with headphones when I have some time.
