IMO Over My Head was way catchier...glad this is doin well (cause OAR's def. up for finally havin a big hit, esp. CHR crossover), but it doesn't do much for me for some reason - just seems kinda there, fillin a pop/rock gap, kinda like Howie Day did with Collide

It's a difference in musical taste, which proves that not all Hot AC/Triple-A fans think alike.

I tend to like the catchier, and/or more "melancholy" songs, even if they're just filling a void - which is why I really like "Shattered", and also "Collide" when it was released a few years ago.

Then there are the songs that aren't as hookish & take a while to get used to - many past releases by Coldplay fit that category. But they often turn out to be some of my all-time favorites based on how long they last on the chart; whereas the instantly catchy stuff might rise faster to high chart positions, but doesn't last as long.

Yeah I need to retract that post...this def. has a loyal following
