I haven't yet developed the patience to listen to this song in its full form, but it is blowing up on Hot AC.
42 34 TIMBALAND/ONEREPUBLIC Apologize 2007 Mosley/BG/Interscope 368 238 130 2.226
What do you guys think about this Timbaland single attempting a chart run on Hot AC? Will One Republic be the one to help him to get his first big hit (unless you include the produced song "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado, which hit #2)?

Will One Republic be the one to help him to get his first big hit (unless you include the produced song "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado, which hit #2)? I meant to eventually start a thread on this song, but since you did the honors Kid Pulse, I will say that I'm very impressed with the early activity on this song. Several stations have already added this song that never played Timbaland before (including WTMX in Chicago). I think this song fits the format very well, and continues the trend of pop artists releasing softer songs that perform very well at this format (ie: Justin Timberlake, Fergie, etc.). Seeing that there is no other immiment competition beneath the Top 30, this song should do very well. If this continues to take advantage of the momentum it has built over the last couple of weeks, look for this song to be well entrenched within the Top 20 by the end of November at the latest. |

LOL, that makes us three! I was thinking of starting a thread too when I heard it at WTMX over the weekend. I love this song so much so I'm happy that it's blowing up at HAC too. I wish though they also played the original version. That's one's more fit to HAC... ;)

I've never heard the original version, but the version the Mix is playing fits very well as well. Agreed though that I hope this song continues to blow up at HAC radio. |

You can listen to the original version at their myspace site: www.myspace.com/onerepublicWhat do you think? :) |

As much as I like the original version, this version has a bit more pep to it, so it makes it seem more listenable and less... John Mayer.

Yah this should have a nice run on Hot AC, but like Furtado - I still think its the other way around..even on Hot AC. Some of Timbo's beats are very Hot AC friendly. |

This has huge crossover potential. It's going to be seen as a rock song on this format, but seen as "urban" on rhythmic.

I really wouldn't have expected this to blow up on Hot AC, actually.  |

I think this will ultimately do better here than on Rhythmic.

Sorry to ask this but what does Timbaland do in this song? (Besides add cheesy 80s drumbeats)  |

^ he says "eh... eh" i think its the same tracking as on Say It Right. but that is it, the original version is better.
to Kid Pulse's original post. i dont think this is an attempt on Timbaland's part to hit on HAC, but rather since he gets the fame from Urban, and CHR, HAC will be Onerepublic's niche along with CHR, so this will be more beneficial to them.

Even if this version doesn't seem rockish enough, like Timmy said, this is going to be OneRepublic's main format. |

Yeah I think "rock" is a stretch - you really need a real drummer to be a rock band IMO - maybe "pop" IMO ridiculous to even put Timbaland's name on the credits for this single...but I guess if it hadn't been for him puttin this song on his CD no one ever would've heard of "One Republic" so it's prob. one of those "artistic compromises" I guess it could be like a "DNA Feat Suzanne Vega" type thing, but at least DNA (whoever they are) added all the music to an accapella song - this song already had music to it and all Timbo did was turn a drum machine on and off (and say eh-eh) |

Oh no, the production of the remix and the album version is significantly different. Timbo didn't just add a new beat and "ehs"

I heard the slightly more "rock" version of this for the first time while I was watchin the video...I think the only difference is that in the more "rock" version One Republic's drummer plays along with the song, and in the more R&B-sounding version they take out the drummer and Timbo adds in a "Sexual Healing"-type keyboard drum machine
Weird how drums can make the difference between "pop/R&B" and "pop/rock"

I'd like to hear that version. Either way, the Tim Man version has a very large bullet now.

I love this song, one of my favorites right now. This and shadow of a day by linkin park. Alt rock seems to be taking off big time at Hot AC

Oh okay that's good then lol Wait...that was me What I meant was that I couldn't see CHR playin this and "Broken" both in heavy rotation at the same time cause they're too similar in mood, tempo, etc. and that's why IMO Lifehouse might have gone with WIT for now and Broken later after "Apologize" dies down |

Over the past year or so, I think there's been less alternative and more pop. "Apologize" would've barely scratched the Hot AC chart if it had been released 5 or 6 years ago. Anything by Timbaland would've been avoided by the majority of Hot AC stations in the late '90s and early '00s. |

This song is really smoking! The increase in spins has been constantly in the 300-range. It looks destined to be #1.
I'm glad mainstream AC is also starting to give it some attention too.

I actually like this song. One Republic is really good and Timbaland adds some nice beats to the song.

Who is OneRepublic? This looks like a good marketing stragedy to get a new band "out there." Are these guys rock or rhymthic/ R&B more like M5. I like the song but this pairing is obviously a commercial one. We see if this band can build a career with this move (assuming this band has come out of nowhere and doesn't really have a grass roots following at this point). With that said, I'll take this singer over Adam Levine.
