Taylor Swift "Teardrops On My Guitar"

[atlantaboy]

Just realized that no one's started a thread for this here - this was basically "broken" by WFBC/Greenville SC a CHR which played it 80+ times a week, prompting a pop remix and now what looks like a huge CHR hit! A few HAC's are adding it, but it'll def. IMO become huge on the Hot AC chart really soon -

Still surprised that CHR is on this before HAC, but I think that's cause WFBC really did "create" this pop-crossover hit

Most HACs will prob. play the pop remix, which is twice as fast as the original (they put the drumbeat in double-time), and makes it sound almost pop/alternative

[JCMF3]

This song sounds like ti is straight out of the 90s. I mean, it's an OK song, but it sounds odd on CHR at least. I'm not sure what HAC will do with it, but I could see it going top 20.

This song hasn't taken off for me, probably because people tune into my station when they don't listen to my Country sister station. Country-ish songs are iffy for me, but sometimes work (like Rascal Flatts)

Most CHRs are playin the pop-remix version that sounds IMO just like Jordin Sparks, Katherine McPhee, etc. and actually not that different from "Bubbly" I don't think - anyway it's gettin huge callout scores at CHR so it's gotta be a "sleeper hit" for Hot AC as well I think

I haven't heard this yet, but it's making a splash.

I agree. It's a nice song that will fill the void once "Bubbly" runs its course.

And it's nice to see a station actually break a song. That's a rarity these days! :)

Latest survey shows +192 in spins. Not bad for a country-crossover.

It's hard to believe she's only 18. She's very attractive, and looks very mature for her age.

But enough of her beauty. I'd really like to hear the re-mix version. Country ballads like this usually don't do much for me, with the exception of "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain - another hottie, btw.

Biggest bullet on the chart! :)

I think this is going top 5 on Hot AC.

Go KP! Not sure where she lives though...you might have to relocate

This could be a #1 but there are a lot of Modern AC stations (esp. out West) and not sure this is gonna "fit" their Alternative-leaning playlists...I'd say def Top 3 Hot AC though, and pretty quick crossover to AC

I think it will compete for the #1 spot....I guess the "slow" version could be a hit on AC, and the poppier version could hit on Hot AC?

I just watched part of the video, so I don't know the difference yet...

Yeah the "slow version" almost seems like a different song so u prob. haven't heard it yet - not sure which one AC will play but I'm thinkin the pop remix is much more upbeat which kinda fits AC better

It was the sure shot on Rick Dees this week.

[shocker]

Musically speaking, I'd really like to hear the re-mix verson of "Teardrops" if anybody has a link to it. So far, all that's available online is the slower country-AC version, which I don't care much for.

But musically and aesthetically speaking, I certainly don't want to be accused of robbing the cradle, so I'll stick to someone closer to my age - Shania! I still like her brand of pop-country.

And she can pop my country any time!!!!!!

Shania is okay IMO but is more of an AC-type artist on most songs to me. I did like that "don't impress me much" song, though.

My only question is Why??????? Now every time I turn to a different station, I hear her again....I mean, kudos for having sucess, but why is she crossing over?

Why not?... It's not like the song is so out there that it doesn't fit in with Hot AC, and it's getting great callout on Pop and most likely Hot AC as well.

Stream WSTR/Atlanta or WWWQ/Atlanta and listen for a couple hours you'll def. hear it...can't believe it's not online - they've def. gotta put it out soon

Did she write this song herself?

She co-wrote it with Liz Rose.

[reception]

It debuted at #32 on Rick Dees this week.
It debuted at #31 on AT40 this week.

I hope this hits top 5 on Hot AC.
