I remember reading a few weeks back this was going for adds on HOT AC.
I just happened to check on how it was doing today...
MEDIABASE - Quick Cut Info
10/6/2008 1.677 (total airplay) 252 (Hot AC spins) 9/29/2008 1.454 194 9/22/2008 0.548 112 9/15/2008 0.312 065
Looks like it might be doing something :)

The Goo Goo dolls are in my opinion one of the most underrated bands out there. They endured a number of years before recognition, then got overrated where everything was hitting #1 on pop for no reason that I could tell, but just as quickly fell off with only moderate success most of it on this format. I think they put out quality stuff, their last album was great and I look forward to this.

I agree. Hot AC has really shunned them since "Better Days." Since then their singles have done really well while impacting but it was a struggle to reach the top 10, with the exception of "Stay With You" which hit the top 5 but didn't quite achieve the level of success I anticipated. I'd be shocked if this even made the top 20.
The new rule at Hot AC seems to be, if Pop isn't playing it then neither are we. 17 of the top 20 songs on Hot AC have been top 30 Pop hits and a majority of them have also hit the top 10 at Pop. I'm all for having some songs spread across formats but this is ridiculous.

Yeah, I 'm not too pleased with that trend. Although it's nice to see that Higher and Broken can get played and even OAR was rising fast and first at HotAC. I guess I'd like to see more of that.

The new rule at Hot AC seems to be, if Pop isn't playing it then neither are we. Yeah def. seems true, but kinda thinkin that's cause there really haven't been many Hot AC-exclusive "staples" releasing hits lately (i. e. no solo Rob Thomas hits, Train, Collective Soul, etc.) - if this new Goo Goo Dolls song gets high adult callout (or even decent callout) IMO HAC's gonna be all over it, just like they are Lifehouse and Matt Nathanson Kinda seems like the opposite to me IMO with Hot AC and Pop...like a lot of CHRs are makin sure the HACs they're competin with don't have many "exclusive" hits (playin O. A. R., Gavin Rossdale, Jason Mraz, etc.)

Arggh this track is really mediocre (and the GGD are one of my fav. bands)...sounds like somethin they might've done in the early 90s before they became big - even the recording quality sounds "cheap" IMO
Was hopin for somethin much better - doubt this'll even do that well on HAC

I'm a huge fan and own 8 of their albums, but this is by far their weakest single to date. Even most of their album tracks are stronger than this. I think this flopped for multiple reasons though, including: lack of promotion, it's mediocre, and Hot AC appears to be in a major transition mode.

^Yeah hate to say it, but it's just a really weak song - agree that they have tons of CD tracks (non-singles) that're much better than this
Almost sounds like an amateur recording of Let Love In IMO

love the goos sucks they never get any love Naw they had huge CHR hits from '95-'99, and huge HAC hits through their last CD IMO the only reason this song's floppin on HAC is cause it's a weak song that sounds just like their last charting hit
