There's no doubt in my mind that OneRepublic will be The Fray of 2008 (quite an amusing comparison in that both bands are from Colorado and both rose to national attention through Internet communities like MySpace). Expect "Stop & Stare" and "Mercy" to both become major hits. Sincerely, Noah Eaton I'm sure you're right about their hits but couldn't possibly imagine The Fray writing/singing "Apologize" (the One Republic version) - they're def. much different styles of music (pop/rock vs. pop/alternative I guess) who must have had very different influences IMO

IMO their lyrics are really general though and so pop that Triple A would never touch them...couldn't imagine Coldplay or Augustana singin Apologize or Stop and Stare either (sorry to keep disagreein with these comparisons) - thinkin the closest band to them musically is prob Maroon 5, and even that's a stretch

Those two versions of Apologize should be counted as one. Another dumb move.

Yeah R&R is combining the 2 versions which is good because this definitely deserves to be a #1 hit on Hot AC.

Well, it hasn't actually happened yet, because the original version of this song is actually still charting and rising...amazing.

The song continues to be a #1 at Billboard/R&R, now standing at 4 weeks. And it's ahead by a pretty overwhelming margin (2952 spins VS 2627 for #2 Santana and 2600 for #3 "Bubbly").
The One Republic version must have been incorporated into the total. As an aside, "Stop and Stare" is up to #30.
"Love Song" seems to be the next one destined for the Top.
