It's been a very slow, steady climb for this song at Hot AC. Somehow I can't see it being top 10 on this format, and it certainly can't match the success of "One Thing"; but it is #1 on my personal chart right now because of its up-tempo dance-rock beat.
The ironic part is that if it didn't have such a catchy hook, I would consider it just another hard-rock song, and I probably wouldn't care much for it.

"Paralyzer" really has a good hook. I doubt if it would be doing so well at Hot AC without that club-dance vibe to it. Hot AC seems to be attracting a little less harder-sounding alternative music these days - which might be a step in the right direction.

It's still going, with what I believe is its biggest bullet yet. :)

This definitely benefitted IMO from the new radio edit (elec. guitar "down" mix) - both here and on CHR

It's def. not a dance mix - it's a new radio edit "pop/rock" version that has almost no elec. guitars in the verses, and a bit less intense elec. guitars during the chorus - the drums and vocals are still the same |

Anyone know if when they sing "if one thing really means one" are they joking on thier first hit, "One Thing"?

I never thought this would do so well at Hot AC, even though I've liked it since it came out (#1 on my personal chart for 9 weeks - if that means anything). Good catch. I'm sure that was a reference; and perhaps a dig at their critics who thought they'd be a 1-hit wonder. |

This is now top 10, leap-frogging The Last Goodnight to do so.

This is one of the most bizarre videos I've ever seen - it looks like it was shot in the 80s, and the people are dancing in slow motion, really offbeat to the song...just wonderin if anyone else has seen it - it almost seems like a really freakish dream to me

The song itself sounds like it could have been recorded in the late '70s or '80s because it has that pop-metal sound with a dance beat - almost reminiscent of "I Was Made for Lovin' You", or "You Shook Me All Night Long". Comparing it to a more recent hit - I think "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand would be the most identical comparison. Ironically, that song never hit the Hot AC chart - not the top 40 anyway. |

It's pretty impressive how this is still rising. Looks like it has a shot at the top 5... :)
