"Pretty Vegas" seems to be getting the Nova Scotian support on both C100 and Q104 Halifax. I've heard a few times on both the last couple of days

I wonder if it qualifies for CanCon? Prolly not unless it was produced by a Canadian or something. It's still weird that a Nova Scotian is the new lead singer.

I heard he helped write the song with one of the brothers, which would qualify it for CanCon.

Since Cancon is definied as MAPL - it could be two parts Cancon if JD contributed to both Music and Lyrics.

They're about to have their first Hot 100 hit in twelve and a half years. Top 10 on iTunes.

I didn't really like this song when it was on the show and I'm still not a fan of it.
The way it was potrayed on the show was that INXS wrote the music and melody, then JD added the lyrics, and then both sides collaborated from there.

Who is downloading this song? It is so awful, one of this year's worst serious rock attempts.

Surprised I havent heard it in Australia yet. Most stations had a TON of promotion regarding INXS all during the ROCKSTAR series.. and the Triple M network here even ran competitions to get you in on the show. Dunno why they havent pushed this one.
Yet to hear it, can't wait tho.

I like INXS and this song has grown on me. It's at #18 on the Mediabase "A2M" chart and is gaining some momentum.

I think it's catchy as hell. To be honest, I prefer it to most of their old stuff, but then I was never a big INXS fan.

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm a very big INXS fan, and I'm really not a fan of this song. I really don't think it sounds like vintage INXS at all other than the way the vocals are arranged. But I'm guessing that was sort of the point. |

INXS wrote the music and arranged the song for the cd, I'd assume. JD wrote the lyrics during the show. The song did sound different on there than the studio version sounds.

It was the sure shot on the Rick Dees Hot AC chart this week.

This song is picking up MAJOR momentum here. I'm glad to see that. Would love to see this a success on Pop but that may be hoping for too much. A top5 here would be great for the band though.

I don't like the song anymore, not sure why. The chart run for this song on my chart was short, but it did make the top 20.

I've been hearing it several times a day now. I didn't want to like it, but I do.

It is catchy. It's on the verge of being overplayed in Canada, though.
