This is top 25 on Hot AC, and I still haven't heard it.
31 25 COLBIE CAILLAT Bubbly 2007 Universal Republic 691 531 160 3.183
I heard this was a slow song. I'm wondering what the appeal is, and why it's doing this well on Hot AC.

It's the #1 song on KUDD/Salt Lake City - yeah haven't heard it yet either - seems like it's one of those songs though that's doing really well on stations that're playin it

Colbie has been HUGE on MySpace for the past year or so, topping the acoustic/folk music search. Judging from the sound of her album, I think she'll be a staple at Triple A for a long time a la KT. I'm going to guess this finishes somewhere in the Top 15 on Hot AC.

She opened up for Lifehouse and Goo Goo Dolls here in San Diego. Maybe that helped her out a little? (assuming she opened in other places as well I mean)

It's pretty catchy for such a slow song. I think it'll go top 5, but it'll take forever to do so.

Heard it on Star 94 last night - sounds like a Top 10 hit to me - the latest artist I can even compare her to is Lisa Loeb (w/o the nasally voice) - she reminds me of Edie Brickell

I love this song. I have a feeling this will be huge on Hot AC. Probably top five. Sure its one of the more mellow songs on radio now, but the chorus is incredibly catchy

Yeah, the chorus is catchy. In fact, it's just about as catchy as it was the first time around, when it was the chorus of "Superman" by Five For Fighting. Ripoff.

I'm not sure I wanna do this but I'm gonna predict this song will go to #1 HAC (and maybe CHR too) - it's got the feel of "Stay (I Missed You)" by Lisa Loeb (simple concept, unique artist) and the concept of "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol (simple song about being in love that almost everyone can relate to) - I think it's gonna have a really long chart life, and eventually gonna become a hit at mainstream AC

I thought "Chasing Cars" was a song about a girl that is out of a guy's league but he is still chasing after her. That's what Casey Kasem said. |

Colbie is on the WGN-TV news this hour. She already was on once heading into a commercial break.

This is moving up very quickly. This might just have a big leap-up on the AT20 chart on 9/9.

One of those songs where the title is only mentioned once, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it at all.
Simple acoustic song - that's all I can say about it right now. I'm not crazy about it, but it might get better the more I hear it.

This song is SLOWLY growing on me, and my listeners.
Huge buzz around it... but slow to take off with my listeners.

This discussion about how many times the title is mentioned in the song is really boring  |

I wonder if her album is good? And if she can actually sing live? And if there are any follow-up singles on the album? Ya know, I kind of agree with some peeps who say that this wouldn't get the play it's getting if Jewel or Sheryl Crow sang it. I think it has a buzz because this girl is new and fresh.... and doesn't seem like a ho like Christina or Britney. On to the next "it" artist for her 15 minutes of fame. I still think the song is pretty generic. Catchy chorus but not a great song, IMO. |
