I can't really see a song being a hit with that title.

Why are there 2 separate topics posted here for "Say"? Is this what's known as "Say it twice"?   |

I can't really see a song being a hit with that title. It actually sounds like a huge HAC hit...wait til you hear it - it's gonna bring John Mayer back onto CHR too I think |

I haven't heard the song yet but it does look like he made a video for it. Added to VH1's playlist.

I've heard this song a few times now. I think this song is a lot weaker than his past few singles. I certainly don't think this will do any better than his last few songs on Pop. Top 5 on Hot AC is possible but I think some more recently released songs (even M5) might keep this out of the top 5. I much preferred his latest single over this.

This certainly sounds like a hit.
The question, though, is whether Columbia is willing to push this in earnest, given that this is NOT a track from a new album, and "Continuum" has already charted for over a year now and is more or less finished given where its at on the Billboard 200 currently.
Thus, this single may be unfairly victimized by the lack of drive by Columbia Records to promote this when it isn't promoting something new that would be lucrative for them.
I hope this doesn't happen, and this becomes the hit many are predicting here, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if our high hopes are shattered in utter disappointment in the end.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

^IMO Columbia is def. gonna promote it cause the video has already been shot before the single (I think) has even been released to radio (and the video's pretty "intense") - Hot AC is really starving for male pop/rock right now so don't think there'll be any prob. with stations adding it...I wouldn't be surprised if this gets an insane amount of adds on Hot AC its first week
Can't possibly imagine this charting lower than Dreaming With A Broken Heart cause this is much more of a radio-friendly song IMO - I'm thinkin a Top 3 peak (cause it is a little repetitive so thinkin it'll burn too much to hit #1)

It's a pretty craptastic video with just a lot of scenes from that Jack Nicholson movie. Columbia hasn't put that much in. But this definately needs a push. Then John can release Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. |

Wow sorry to disagree but this is one of the strongest videos IMO I've ever seen from John Mayer (even if it's a matter of editing scenes from the movie)...and by far the strongest song I've heard from him since Waiting On The World To Change |

Anyone know if this has an adds date? The adds date is Jan. 28. I like this song; it should continue John's hit streak. The only thing that really bothers me is the re-release thing. Enough already! But it is a good song. |

But the video of his scenes is just bland and forced. And I do agree that this is the best single in the past 3 singles since WFTWTC. |

My Hot AC station played it tonight in a contest between two new songs. I have to say that I wasn't too impressed on first listen. Very, very repetitive lyrics and the melody wasn't very strong. This is on first listen though and I've often changed my mind after multiple listens.

This is decent. It's better than his last couple of songs. I still would have liked to see "Belief" and "I Don't Trust Myself" become singles.

I agree that it's a decent song, but the chorus is too repetitive -
"Say what you need to say" over and over and over. Good melody though.

Seems like the repetition was done on purpose though cause the line has a lot of meaning to it...that definitely makes it more pop though compared to DWABH, Gravity, etc. Still wonderin if CHRs without HAC's in their markets will pick it up...worried that the theme really relates to older listeners, kinda like 100 Years by Five For Fighting |

Largest bullet on the chart! Hope it gets on Triple A or CHR though cause we don't have a Hot AC here...
BTW the Hot AC chart is dead...the only songs with any significant bullets are this one, Feels Like Tonight, and Whatever It Takes (and Realize has a modest bullet) - #1-#8 on the chart all have negative bullets today...
