Wanted to start this thread early cause I think this is gonna be the biggest hit of AK's career (and one of the biggest hits of '08)...it's def goin #1 CHR, and I think in a month or so it'll start crossing over to Hot AC and then AC - thinkin it'll hit #1 on these two formats also

This doesn't belong on Hot AC. Tons of Hot AC's play "Fallin" so don't think they're gonna have a prob. playin this song...there really isn't a lot of pop/alternative stuff out right now with high callout for HAC to play - also this is gettin huge callout with older as well as younger listeners

^Yeah, I know, and I ALWAYS change the station. Don't see what Alicia Keys has to do with Hot AC.
-But that's probably just me.

I really think if there were more current pop/alternative hits comin out right now HAC stations could opt not to play this, but there's almost nothin risin up the chart now (except for Lifehouse and prob. Maroon 5) and Hot AC's are gonna be starvin for hits after "Apologize" - I think it's gonna pave the way for Alicia Keys to fly right up the chart...she actually does have a pretty good following with adult listeners - this song isn't really my style, but neither was "Because Of You" by Kelly Clarkson or "Big Girls Don't Cry" and both were huge on HAC

Hot AC has a new Lenny Kravitz song, will soon have a new matchbox twenty song. I really hope this doesn't get too big here..

Think the new Lenny Kravitz song is pretty weak (although really well sang and produced) - The new M20 song I'm guessin will be pretty big (and also new Daughtry song maybe) haven't heard either - but those aren't gonna gain adds for at least another month I think - HAC is gonna need Alicia Keys in order to maintain decent ratings throughout the next few months IMO (except for Modern ACs which can play Paralyzer, Good Charlotte, Three Days Grace, etc. as heavy rotated hits)

I could see this doing really well here! God if she DOES go top 5 or even #1 here and at AC, then if the timing would have been better her total AI would have been MASSIVE.

She's been getting amazing requests on my HotAC station... this song shot right from nights into regular rotation on that alone. I'm expecting a huge song, especially north of the boarder!

My Hot AC station hasn't played this yet either. I heard it only once on VH1 Top 20 videos last weekend. I'll have to hear it a few more times to decide if I like it or not.

This song is very pop anyways. Top 10 shouldn't be a problem.

WPLJ actually added it this week (good sign for A. K.) - I kinda need to be in the right mood for this song, but whenever I listen to it I really am amazed at how well-written and sang IMO this song is

Agreed. I've liked every song of hers I've heard except, interestingly enough, "Fallin'." Every aspect of this song is very sub par as far as I'm concerned. First of all, I feel like I've heard the music of it a million times. It's the most generic chord progression in music today. I think it's most similar to BEP's "Where Is The Love" but there's a ton more songs that do it too. The lyrics are pretty bland as well. Alicia's vocals on this are really hard on my ears too. She has such a great voice but it sounds like she was just yelling into the microphone at some parts. I really don't get what people are finding so amazing about this song.

It's not that this song shouldn't be on Hot AC radio so much as it's not one of Alicia Keys' best songs. I can see this making a quick jump into the top 20, but I can also see this lose momentum really quickly before it has a chance to rise much higher. Besides, I think Jordin Sparks' "Tattoo" will take up a lot of plays that AK would have achieved. I think "Tattoo" is a much better song and it deserves a much longer run than "No One"

It came close (#14), but it took a while for it to get attention here. CHR and rhythmic stations were all over it long before it even cracked the Hot AC top 40. Those were the days.

^HAC is in a really bad position now IMO - it really has no choice...if it wants new hits right now (with high callout) Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift are about it

Great song, but the biggest song of her career? Bigger than Fallin'? I doubt it. This has quick rise/quick fall written all over it. I don't see it getting AC airplay like Fallin' did.

It's actually rising a lot faster on CHR than Fallin' did, and also crossing over to Hot AC faster than Fallin' did - also someone said that it really wasn't falling that quickly on Urban...not sure and too lazy to look up urban chart

My station has just started playing it. I like it, but it's not a great song IMO. And I agree that her vocals are a bit ragged on this. I don't see this having a lot of staying power.

It hasn't dropped in position that much on Urban because the top 2 were over 4000 spins for a while, and the rest of the top 10 were in the 2000s. But, it is losing spins there at a pretty good clip. And just because it is rising up CHR and HAC quickly does not make this her biggest hit. As you said, it's just part of the quick rise/quick (or moderate, however you want to say it) fall routine.

I don't see the big deal with this song. I think it's one of her weakest singles and least catchiest. It's definitely nowhere close to "Fallin" or "If I Ain't Go You."

It won't burn out anytime soon - not with its +308 in spins (R&R) this week, winning the award for the most increased plays.
Also guessing that mainstream AC will pick up on this after the 1st of the year - after they dump the Christmas carols.
