Goes for Hot AC adds August 31 according to All Access.
Its best showing to date is #3 in Australia and #10 in Ireland, while barely missing Top 20 in the UK.
Follow-up to The Man Who Can't Be Moved, which managed to reach Top 15 on Hot AC in the U.S.
Not sure how this one will do but upon hearing it several times, I actually like it.

I still can't get over the fact that TMWCBM didn't go Top 10 in Hot AC and missing a chance in the process to improve its CHR chances. With that song underperforming, I don't know if any of their other singles will fare any better. Nonetheless, I still wish this single perform well enough to serve as leverage for "Talk You Down" or "Before the Worst" to get released.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved got shafted.
Maybe this one will let them "breakeven"

In the Cool New Music page of Allaccess, the title of this song is "When a Heart Breaks, It Don't Break Even". LOL.

I think that the music is too happy sounding for the lyrics. I like it though...

The Man Who Can't Be Moved is a better song, but this one will be a bigger hit, I think.

Well I'm glad that they finally broke into the Billboard Hot 100, Pop Radio's Top 40 and I'm now rooting for this to go Top 10 in Hot AC, although it breaks my heart a bit that TMWCBM didn't accomplish this. Oh well..

It'd be nice if this song made it to the top 10 or maybe even top 5. It doesn't look like that'll happen sadly haha

I still can't get over the fact that TMWCBM didn't go Top 10 in Hot AC and missing a chance in the process to improve its CHR chances. With that song underperforming, I don't know if any of their other singles will fare any better. Nonetheless, I still wish this single perform well enough to serve as leverage for "Talk You Down" or "Before the Worst" to get released. It's ironic, because "Breakeven" is less catchier than The Man Who Can't Be Moved, and "Breakeven" is outperforming it.

If "Breakeven" was a last-minute add to the album, with no intention of it ever receiving airplay, and it wound up being their biggest hit, THAT would be ironic.

The irony is that you would expect TMWCBM to be the bigger hit. It barely missed being number 1 in the UK. Breakeven didn't even reach Top 20 over there.
Should I insult you by reading you the definition of irony?

Should I insult you by reading you the definition of irony? No, but you are insinuating that just because a song is catchier, it is by definition more likely to become a bigger hit.

Well, usually if a song is catchy, the hooks are stronger, and more people are likely to remember it after it is done playing. That is why songs have a chorus. If the chorus isn't memorable, then the song is going to suffer.
