Maybe it was too early to give up on this! After seeming like it was totally dead, it's showing new signs of life. This is among the greatest gainers at HAC right now, finally! I think it may even debut on the chart this week.

I wonder what happened. Why the sudden change although I'm happy.

WLTW, NYC's #1 radio station has added this to their rotation. I heard it today at work and was pleasantly surprised.

I wish they would release the music video for this here in the US. It's a great video! I'd love to see VH1 playing it.

I too am somewhat surprised this hasn't gotten more attention here. I figured he'd prosper off the recent success of Gavin DeGraw.
This is a generic-sounding track, but Powter's vocals have that genuinity, and all in all, this is a quite listenable track.
My station is playing this track quite frequently.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Too bad this song didn't get the attention it deserved.
In the UK the 2nd single is Free Loop and it has a video. In Sweden the 2nd single is Jimmy Gets High.

I heard this song constantly when vacationing in Ireland in August. It's so catchy -- I'll always remember it as the soundtrack for my holiday! ITunes gave it away as a free single back in September. Also I get several music surveys on the phone and the internet. WLTW is one of the surveys I do. "Bad Day" was on a few times and I always gave it a high mark. I like to think I helped the song.

Can someone tell me what the deal is with this song? I see posts dating all the way back to the summer. I understand it was an international hit first? Has it peaked on Hot AC yet? Has it been serviced to Pop?

I'm not sure what it is doing at Hot AC because they only show the top 20 at mediabase and R&R currently has the year-end charts where it was #98 for the year. According to FMQB this is suppose to go to Pop this month, but a date has not been set yet.

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this song. I just saw that it's entered the Top 20! VH1 has also shown the video a few times. I thought it was done a while ago, glad that it's not.

I just completed a radio survey today for my local station and it was on it. It is still going.

Well this song is officially the #1 greatest gainer on the format, and #4 on AC. I find this to be really, really surprising. Does anyone know when this went for adds? I swear I had this song back in July because I remember seeing the girl from the OC in the video, which is a well made video. Not to mention, I've heard she is coming back to the show, which simultaneously when this song is really starting to explode.
While this was a complete smash in Europe, I think this song has a chance to pull a Natasha Bedingfield on the POP Chart, and for the first time in a while, POP is going to have to look at Hot AC for possible crossovers, not the other way around.
More or less, it's great to see another UK act breakthrough on the charts. It's a possibility that we have more coming with Unwritten, and I believe Talk has just broke into the Top 20.

Powter is Canadian. ;) Still, I'm also surprised that this song is continuing to climb. I thought for sure it was over when it was being played on the biggest-market AC station in the country (WLTW) and not a single other station was taking notice. That was last summer. I'm so glad programmers and the record company have been patient on this.

It's a great video, and I'm glad VH1 is playing it. You're right about Samaire Armstrong. It'll probably help the video once she's back on The OC, since she'll be recognizable to people who watch the show and then see the video.

I requested it on my KISS radio station, hopefuly they will play it! I also saw him live when he came to Cleveland. He had a free concert downtown, and I got to meet him. He signed the single for me, it was pretty cool. They play him alot on our AAA staion. They should add him to VH's " Artist You Oughta Know." They put James Blunt on it, and he is doing pretty well.

VH1 has also shown the video a few times. It's about time. I like the song and the video. I'm glad this made the top 20 and has a decent shot at top 10.
