3rd US single & follow-up to the big hit 'That's Not My Name'. Fantastic choice and I can see this scoring another Top 20 hit for The Ting Tings.

I would rather see "Shut Up And Let Me Go" have another attempt. I don't think anything else on the album would work at all in American radio, but I'd gladly be proven wrong.

YES! I'm glad they are doing this. But I'm trying to stay realistic here... I at least see this hitting the top 40. I'm not going to ask for much more with the Tings. ;)

Terrible idea. If they really wanted to stick with this album, they should've given "Be the One" a shot. It would have shown a little diversity, and it also has the advantage of being one of the many tracks on the album that isn't "Great DJ." I doubt this will catch on, since even Alt rejected it cold, but if it does, it will pigeonhole them and leave them without much of a solid fan base whenever album two drops.

A re-release of "Shut Up And Let Me Go" would fare far better than this song.

Um... is there any confirmation of this song being sent to pop? I know it has an adds date for alternative, but I've never seen one for pop.

It was released with a video, and was free single of the week on iTunes back in early spring last year. Then Apple used "Shut Up and Let Me Go" in their commercials and it took off. "That's Not My Name" came out later, climbed for months on end to get to the top 20, and now they're re-release "Great DJ," but officially.

I previously didn't know there was a guy. I think old promo photos they had hoods and I just assumed it was 2 girls.

In about 3 days this has become a total addiction. The first time I heard it I was very "Meh" but later on it was just jammed in my head I had to listen again and it became more and more addicting until I just couldn't have enough!

This was the first song I ever heard from The Ting Tings...back in April of last year when my station added it to their playlist, dayparted to evenings/overnights. It only lasted for two moths before "Shut Up and Let Me Go" took over for the rest of the summer.
