W. T. F?
On All Access, they have it playing as "NEW This Week!"
The song's been out for 2+ years and the song could have been a Hot AC crossover then. Why now? ???
If I see an add date for this song, I quit this format lol.

I thought Amber did go for adds back then. I mean, I wasn't really following the new releases back then, but I could've sworn I heard it on WPLJ.
I'm all for First Straw crossing over though...I think that song got shafted at Alternative, so I'd love to see it succeed somewhere.

While we're at it, let's try and get "Creatures (For A While)" on this format.
LOL!

It sure is a strange marketing strategy.

It sure is a strange marketing strategy. I think they are just trying to promote their Greatest Hits album. Still, I don't see why they don't just release First Straw - I think that song is every bit as HAC-friendly as Amber. I don't expect this to do any better than it did the first time around. |

A lot people believe in this song, I did! It was the song of the year on my charts 2 years ago and I still play it from time to time. You know this song alone was what got me hooked on these guys, for real!

This is from last week's R&R:
"The current single, "Amber", is off the From Chaos album, and it was worked at Hot AC more than two years ago. The song was truly ahead of its time. This laid-back tune, with 311's reggae flavor, has a vibe similar to Los Lonely Boys' Hot AC hit "Heaven" and would enhance the music mix at any Hot AC. If Los Lonely Boys are working for you, you can bet 311 will too.
Says KDMX/Dallas MD Lisa Thomas, "311's 'Amber' was a missed hit for the format." Just as memorable as the melody are the lyrics: "Whoa, amber is the color of your energy/Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally/You oughta know what brings me here/You glide through my head blind to fear/And I know why."
I recently heard the song for the first time in about three years, and I can attest that its dreamy melody has been stuck in my head for days. "Amber" is going for adds at Hot AC Sept. 27."

It looks like Hot AC is not ready to give this a second chance. It's not in Jump! or Taking Off.

I don't blame them. I love "Amber", but why should they re-add a song that already went to #25 over two years ago.
