With its success in Top 40 format, looks like this is gonna get a second wind in Hot AC as well. Goes for adds yet again on 26th July (Allaccess). Man, can they just please release "For the First Time"? I agree. Let TMWCBM finish it's run on top 40 radio, and release something different here. They don't need to wait to do this. I'm quite intrigued by the decision to re-release this single. At the same time, looking at the Top 40 charts currently, it does not appear that this will get as far as "Breakeven" did. Then again, we saw how slow of a start it had before finally taking off. That being said, I'd rather hear something new as well, instead of a song that already charted last year and has since gone recurrent on Hot AC. This re-release would bear a similarity to giving a song like "Sex on Fire" yet one more run in the format just so that it can be a Top 10 hit (which it did not as "Use Somebody" was taking forever being phased out). Or it could have a similar outcome to "Who Knew", a song that was originally released sometime in the summer of 2006 but only took off a year later.

The thing is, this already gone recurrent in this format. Much as I personally really, really, really love this song, let's face it that this has already reached a point wherein it overstayed its welcome.

I really doubt it. At this point, I think they'll release something from their second album after this song peaks. If they released anything from the first one, my bet would be "Before The Worst" or "Talk You Down."

Fall For Anything or Talk You Down should have been released instead of re-releasing this. I think that since it was a Top 20 hit last year, it'll struggle.

It'll do like "This Town" did for O.A.R. It'll outpeak its first run, but it won't be the smash everyone is looking for it to be.

Someone on the CHR board said that Sirius XM's Pulse added For The First Time. I know they generally do their own thing (they're playing Scouting For Girls for example). But I would love to see TMWCBM pulled from HAC and replaced with For The First Time.

^ Oh how I wish "This ain't a Love Song" goes for adds in this format. Well now that TMWCBM finally reached Top 40 in Pop, I don't care much about its chart performance anymore except just to wait and see if this will finally debut in the Hot 100.

I'm glad to see that they've added For the First time & I love the Scouting for Girls song (LOVE IT & bought it), but I think Sirius is the only one playing it at this point.

Going slowly. But will breakeven go recurrent once outside the top 10? (I think that's the rule in HAC). I think when it does, it should pick up some steam because it still is in quite high rotation (It's had quite a lot of longetivity) which might be hindering TMWCBM's performance.
