Debuted this afternoon on XM as Oxygen [Feels So Good]. Decent enough for minimal rock airplay, but still wishing to hear something from Aerosmith before they're all gone.
As for Tyler, I know he charted with Run DMC, Alice Cooper, and Santana. But I can't believe this is his first shot at a solo hit as famous as he has been.
EDIT : UPDATED TITLE

This will probably get more looks than it normally would since he's reinvigorating American Idol.

Any release date? Or any implication that it'll be sent to radio at all?

^ Jeez, It was played once on radio, so surely that's confirmation enough. I don't see how being on American Idol would help him on rock.

And it is apparently called "(It) Feels So Good". Better change the name again, Artie, although I don't see the point of this thread if he's not going to chart on any rock charts.

We'll see. My local active rock station just did it as their hit or diss so it looks like it is legitimately being sent to active rock stations. All the listeners dissed it, but the DJ's all gave it hits, and they said once it's featured on American Idol, they think they're gonna get a ton of requests for it. Basically that probably means they have a deal to play the song in the works, so even though we all dissed it, they're gonna start playing it. And they're probably not alone.

It's good to know that DJs are keeping their fingers firmly on the pulse of the listening public. |

It's not called "Oxygen (Feels So Good)", it's "(It) Feels So Good". I hope Artie realizes this and changes the title of the thread.

No evidence needed, Diego confirmed the title much earlier. In those 3 days between our posts, it obviously changed. There was a little confusion on if this was actually the same song as Oxygen. According to Sony, it must be! |

You defended yourself saying it was Oxygen..., when it was (It)..., and you backed it up with saying Sirius had it listed as that.
And now you delete your previous post to cover up. >:( ???

^ To be fair, oxygen is mentioned in the chorus.
Approaching 50+ bullet... might well do something after all.

I think they legally had to change the name away from Oxygen as this was originally an Aerosmith song.

I don't think this will do anything. I feel like he's lost some cred from Rock fans for being a judge on Idol.

This is up to #18 with the biggest bullet on Rock airplay. I'd say it found its home relatively quickly.

Pretty crappy. Also, it's really selfish for talent search shows like American Idol, and now The Voice (or whatever the show is called that Nicole Scherzinger judges on), to promote new music from the judges (Tyler, Lopez, etc), whose own careers have long been washed up. The fact that this is a stale old Aerosmith b-side is proof that this dubiously legitimized hit song is of no artistic value and is just a cash grab for Steven Tyler.

Am I the only one who's bothered by the title of this song? I mean, why parenthesize the word "it"? Even if the name had to be changed for legal purposes, it looks like he couldn't make up his mind between "Feels So Good" and "It Feels So Good."

I think it gives it the appearance of two song titles, like many parenthetical listings.

I think I'd enjoy this much more if they didn't have the creepy heavy breathing parts in between verses. Makes it sound sleazy to me.

I'm just saying, the breathing makes it sound like he's trying to emerge onto the pop scene. Which bugs me. |

I do agree that Aerosmith had much more class than Tyler going solo. I don't have a problem with the breathing as much as I do him trying to be relevant without his bandmates.
