R. E. M. "Supernatural Superserious"

[atlantaboy]

Wow this board is really dying down lol...this is already prob. gonna be one of the biggest Triple A hits of the year! It still sounds like other R. E. M. songs, but I'm likin the slightly heavier edge to it (kinda like What's The Frequency, Kenneth IMO)

I liked "Leaving New York" and "Imitation of Life," but this song finally takes them back closer to their roots, and it's about time. Should do very well at Triple A and Alternative.

[atlantaboy]

^Yeah...it's already #3 on Triple A, and it's only been out for two weeks!

I'd love to see this go for Hot AC adds. I think it could go top 20 there.

For this song to do well on Hot AC, it is going to have to depend on gold-based 80's and 90's Hot AC outlets to pick it up for adds quick. My guess is it will have to hit Top 20 before the Adult Top 40 leaning stations will pick it up.

^Yeah doesn't really sound like a HAC record to me (thinkin it's the lyrics and title)

[radiobrett]

Yeah, but name recognition will definately get it some brief spins for some stations.

It's going to take a LOT of the 80s/90s leaning Hot ACs spinning the heck out of it for the Adult Top 40 and CHR leaning Hot ACs to touch it, IMO. It's those 80s and 90s leaning outlets that still pump out Losing My Religion twice daily that will add it first.

I actually like this. I haven't paid attention to REM in a while, but this is pretty good.
