This is the follow-up to their mega hit (thanks to Timbaland) "Apologize" but this one is more "classic" alternative sounding. It's perfect for Hot AC in my opinion. It's not doing too bad either on the chart:

^This has been out on CHR for a month or so now...it sounds good at first but then it burns really fast IMO (I think cause of their really general beat-around-the-bush lyrics)

Songs burn slowly at Hot AC it seems though. I think they have a chance to crack the top 15 here.

Oh, gotcha. I think it could have a similar run to "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's if it actually catches on.

Had no idea this was that far behind on HAC (i. e. just startin it's chart run)...prob. cause Apologize was still in the Top 10 - but this is gettin a major second boost on CHR, and still has really high callout - still think it's really boring but guess a lot of people don't lol

I think it's really catchy. What makes it boring to you? Not sure...the lyrics are really "stretched out" with a lot of "empty spaces" in between I guess, with not much in the way of background music - just don't get anything out of it except a weird vibe (prob. influenced by the bizarre video) - and the lyrics are so vague I really can't figure out what it's about |

For some reason it seems like they were high or something when they made the song. |

This song must be incredibly boring to play, because all it is is the same two chords over and over. Other than that, though, I love it.

Yeah...I actually think that might be why it sounds so boring to me - kinda like I felt about Breakfast At Tiffany's in the 90s (same three chords over and over through the entire song), only that one had more interestin lyrics IMO But glad you guys are likin it  |

Wow! #2 on Hot AC according to the latest R&R chart, jumping over "It's Not My Time" with a +152 in airplay points.
1 LEONA LEWIS BLEEDING LOVE / 3321 / +17 / 6 week(s) at number 1
2 ONEREPUBLIC STOP AND STARE / 2683 / +152
3 3 DOORS DOWN IT'S NOT MY TIME / 2628 / +67
This is a song that I thought would crack the top 10, but not climb this high. Still don't think it has a chance of being #1 since Leona Lewis is so far ahead of both One Republic and 3 Doors Down.
