Hey just wonderin if this is doin anything (below the Top 40) on HAC...it was released months ago, but the video just came out I guess cause it's suddenly near the Top of the VH1 chart
Seems like it's gettin shafted big time...

I agree, this is a truly great song. This is one of those songs I could see bolting to #1 on multiple formats, but it doesn't seem to be getting the time of day, not sure why, I love the song.

^Yeah I really think Hot AC missed a potential huge hit here...it's like if it were featured in a TV series or movie it would rocket to the top IMO

seriously, I think he meant something mainstream. I don't think a VH1 reality show is enough to rocket anything anywhere.

Yeah, I was thinkin more like a Grey's Anatomy-type series lol...but beejus said he got low callout when he tried it so maybe it did get a fair shot - just sounds like a sleeper hit to me IMO |

I was surprised too. A few callers said it was too whiny.
I dunno. Unless it gets a BIG spike in spins... it's dead on my station.

I truly believe the duet version would have done far better.

I just don't get radio or people sometimes. This would have been a surefire hit on my radar. I don't think it can get very far, early stations have already given up on it and I don't see them picking it back up

I don't think it can get very far, early stations have already given up on it and I don't see them picking it back up Yeah I really think it's the structure of the song which is more reminiscent IMO of AOR radio...thinkin it starts out HAC-friendly, but then almost gets a classic rock sound by the middle - since most HACs target females, thinkin the female audience may have been turned off by the Led Zeppelin-like sound/structure (as the song builds) - but just guessin... Prob. is IMO retro-classic rock sound basically doesn't have a format today (unless it's mellow enough to fit into Triple A) - straight heritage Rock format is down to very few stations, and Classic Rock stations won't play anything new... Still think this could've been huge HAC hit with a different remix (and maybe vocalist) though... |
