That was expected, although I didn't think it would be that fast. It was only last Monday when stations started spinning the single.
Now we just need to see how long "Get On Your Boots" can stay at #1. Unless "You Found Me" rebounds or The Boss is able to push for a few more spins, then I think it could stay there for quite a while.
As for U2's prospects on Hot AC, I don't think this song will be enough to crack the Top 10. Top 20 maybe but more likely a peak in the 20s. I could be wrong though.
Does anybody know how they did on Hot AC with the singles from their last album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" in 2004? I figure "Vertigo" was their biggest single of the era. I'm not sure about the rest - "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" was also a popular single in some markets.

#1 debut at Triple A, probably similar standing on the Indicator chart. So far, I like "Window In The Skies" better than this...I had my fingers crossed on a completely innovative sound after a 4+ year "break," but GOYB simply seems derivative of Vertigo.

In any case, I hope I'm wrong here, because "Original Of The Species" is one of the five best singles they've released in the past twenty years (the other four being "The Fly", "One", "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" and "Mofo") Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Wow I've always been a pretty decent U2 fan but IMO this is really bad...maybe it's that IMO there's nothin sexy about a woman's boots (kinda like askin a girl to put on her sexy gloves...)
Hopin they've got a better follow up...

I always thought boots made a girl look like a hooker...
Anyway I was kinda disappointed in how this one turned out. I think it could've been a bigger hit.
