Today's update on Mediabase Hot AC: 32 29 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 559 394 165 1.694 51 stations playing. The bullet is fucking huge! :o Honestly, this is doing much better than I expected. I thought this would peak between #35 and #40. Right now, I believe it has a chance of going top 20. :)

Wow, I lost track of this, but I'm glad to see it's doing so well. So many stations added, too. Wishful thinking for #1. Even more wishful thinking for a CHR crossover.

Despite being the catchiest, most radio-friendly Coldplay single to date, I would have to concur, primarily because it isn't featured on "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" but rather on a limited-quantity EP release. This release was kind of screwed to begin with for that reason alone and, had the band decided to feature the vocal version of the track on VLV, it would have been a surefit hit of the magnitude of "Yellow" and "Clocks" at least.

Sincerely, Noah Eaton Wait CHR listeners and PDs won't care if this is available on CD (as long as they can download it) - prob. is I have no clue what this song is about, and seems like no one else does either, which makes it a really long shot for CHR, where most people listen for the lyrics - a lot of Hot AC, AAA, and Alternative listeners though can appreciate the background music, though, etc., and kinda like stuff that makes them think - so hopin it continues to rise here

On the surface it may seem like the song is about a tyrannical king who is now removed from power and is now coming to terms with his new bleak life (although he still doesn't regret his transgressions) but many others have interpreted the song more figuratively as Chris Martin reflects on fame and how he perceives his own decline in fame is imminent and how fame in general leads to one's hubris ultimately. Beyond that, there are lines I'm sure are much too deep for CHR/Pop listeners. But, along with "I'm Yours", it didn't stop either one from becoming a hit. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

^Yeah I think Viva La Vida is actually much easier to understand (at least in general) - basically about having control of your life at one point, and now questioning whether you'll ever get it back, or even just losin a relationship and the sense of confidence that came with it, which is why I think it caught on so well on CHR (for a Coldplay single)
IMO seems like I'm Yours is simple love song with Mraz nonsensical stuff thrown in
Really like Life In Technicolor, just don't think CHR listeners are gonna be able to make anything out of the lyrics...plus non-Coldplay fans are gonna think it sounds just like Lovers In Japan (just a hunch lol)

Lovers In Japan is so much better, though! Coldplay has put out a lot of great songs, but LIJ is their best. I can see how pop audiences would think they sounded similar, though. Also, I read on Wikipeida (not reliable, I know, but still, this sounds true) that Coldplay considered "Life In Technicolor II" a their most surefire radio hit, and didn't include it on VLV because they didn't want to have a "safety net" like that on the album. :o So they reduced it to an instrumental version instead. Coldplay knows their own music better than anyone, so if they think the song's a surefire hit, maybe it does have a chance on pop.

I'm interested in seeing how this song has done on Hot AC so far, so I've decided to post a weekly tally.
Based on information from America's Music Charts (released Tuesday) but from final Sunday updates:
05/10/2009: 46 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 171 spins 05/17/2009: 41 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 265 spins (+74) 05/24/2009: 34 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 356 spins (+91) 05/31/2009: 32 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 449 spins (+93) 06/07/2009: 26 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 568 spins (+119) 06/14/2009: 24 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 622 spins (+54) 06/21/2009: 25 COLDPLAY Life In Technicolor II 671 spins (+49)
The good news is that it while continues to gain in spin count, it has also slowed down in recent weeks, therefore weakening the bullet. At the very least, it is charting on Rick Dees' Top 40 and was a breakout on the AT40 this past weekend. Hopefully it can rebound a little bit to reach the Top 20.

This can possibly overtake "Use Somebody" and be the next #1 in Triple A!
