I had a feeling but I thought I'd ask anyway. Yeah, that guy does seem to get around. Maybe he's seen better success as a songwriter? Totally uneducated guess so I suppose I should look into the band more. BRB.

^ It's just because she hasn't got any singles charting currently. In February she'll be added back to the list

Ah that's how you did it. I'm sure from recurrents she still has more total plays on CHR than anyone. Well, maybe not given CHR stations play their currents 100+ times a week.

Haha. Zing.
Unfortunately, I have a 13-year old brother who listens to a Top 40 pop station at night and the sound travels through the walls. The one night they were playing songs from over 6 months old and started wondering if this was the equivalent to a rock station doing a 90's segment. Bad joke, I know. XD

My pop station actually does a 90's show. Granted, it's mostly R&B, but it's still pretty cool.

Any airplay this song gets is a gift. I don't think it's bad, but it's too familiar.

Any airplay this song gets is a gift. I don't think it's bad, but it's too familiar. Ditto. This band has the same issue that I was commenting on over in the HotAC forum about the GGDs. Their new songs aren't bad but they aren't memorable either. So the result...old fans are okay with the music because it's what they are used to from the band and probably what drew them to the band in the first place. However, this song sounds like it is from 2000 and not 2011. Brad's vocals are nice but the song is processed to death. The first single doesn't give me any indication that this album will do any better than the last one did.

Well, the point was that this song sounds just like something that would have been recorded 10 years ago from this band. And I'm sure people who were fans then will like it. Apart from Brad having a very nice voice I've never cared much for this band's music. I don't switch the radio station when one of their songs come on but I can't say that I've ever gone, "Wow, what a great song." Well, I take that back. I did really like one of their songs now that I think about it, Time of My Life maybe? Is that one of their songs? I don't even know the names of their songs...they all just blend into one another but there was a more acoustic song that was a big hit for them that I did really like.
But, hey, they are nice guys. Brad seems like a really nice simple country boy that has done pretty well for himself. I don't have anything against the band.

I was being facetious when I wrote that. And Time of My Life isn't one of their old songs. It's a new one off this new album.

^ More likely to be "Here Without You". +2 to 2000 being a great year, also.

Haha well done. I got done in by the "BIG hit" line. "Here Without You" performed stronger. I do prefer "Be Like That" too, though.

I love Let Me Go. The Real Life and Changes are probably my favorites though.

Just heard this for the first time. It sounds about what I'd expect a 3 Doors Down single in 2011 to sound like. It's not bad, but not great either.
