Currently #43, the song went for adds this week on this format. It actually just passed All Around Me's plays on this format...could they get a hit here?

This is actually currently getting more play on this format than the new Maroon 5/Rihanna and Flyleaf's All Around Me.
It's not like it's FMLYHM.

I really like this song myself I think it can go top 20 at least, and probably have longevity too.

I figured that title would have belonged to Fake It. Fake It seemed like the better song mainstream wise to me...it was catchier and a little bit more dance-y. Although this is one of my favorite songs that they've ever put out.

I loooove this song. It has been a hit at rock radio for a couple of months. I love seeing it spill over to HOT A/C. IMO, Seether is the young rock band with the most potential. They write some songs that are not that great, but the best ones will be played on classic rock stations in 10 years, IMO. This one is a great one.

Here's the thing about that though, casual fans really don't think of that song as a Seether song because of how popular Amy Lee was at the time and still is.
It's a BIG deal for Seether to get a hit on their own and this is the song that should do that.

I figured that title would have belonged to Fake It. Fake It seemed like the better song mainstream wise to me...it was catchier and a little bit more dance-y. Not really too mainstream. I liked "Fake it", but it seemed a little too aggressive for most Hot ACs. Mix 96.9 in Phoenix spun it late at night, but only on occasion. Although this is one of my favorite songs that they've ever put out. "Rise Above This" is even better than "Fake it" - has more of a melody that would appeal to an adult audience. It's somewhat more mellow, so I can see why it's charting higher at Hot AC than "Fake it" did. Funny thing is that despite its more mainstream sound, "Rise" is getting almost all of its airplay from the modern ACs - KCLA in Reno, KMXB in Las Vegas, KOSO in Modesto, and KUDD in Salt Lake. It's definitely a big hit at many Hot AC stations in the west that lean alternative.

Current Peak: #18 on Hot AC A #18 peak may not seem very impressive, but if you look at the # of weeks this song has spent slowly climbing the Hot AC chart, it will likely earn a decent-sized ranking on the end-of-year chart. I'm not surprised "Rise Above This" had success at Hot AC. This is one of Seether's more melodic songs, even though it's not a ballad. "Fake it" was a little too intense for many Hot AC outlets, but "Rise" fits in well with the format's variety. It's been 1 of my favorite songs this year!
