I think someone is using Alanis Morrissette's definitions of irony here...

This song is really starting to take off! I really hope it reaches at least the top 5 finally.

Up to 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 now.
I think with a bullet like that, Top Ten is not only possible, but expected.
This is probably because there are lots of breakups happening right now because some people don't want to deal with Valentine's Day ;)

Why is this song randomly taking off anyway?

This is one of those songs that you like more the more you hear it - I was meh on it the first time, now I love it. Gets stuck in your head. Glad it's doing so well!

^I expect it to be, depending on how long Lady A can hold to the top spot.

16 months ago in December 2008 when this song was released in Ireland (where the Script are from) it eventually only made it to number 10, and only made top 20 in UK, despite their previous release 'The Man Who Cant Be Moved' making it to Number 2. I still made 'Breakeven' my song of the year in 2008, and to this day it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when I hear it, and Ive been happily married for 13 years. I think most people can relate to the song, because at some stage in their lives they will have felt like Danny O Donohue did when he wrote it. Im pleasantly surprised that music lovers in general in the U.S. seem to appreciate this song more than we did on this side of the Atlantic.

I think this could hit Top 10 on Billboard within a couple weeks or so. If that's the case, we should definitely see another U.S. release. It's a question of rereleasing "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" or "Talk You Down."

This song is about to go to No 1 on Hot AC. I have been following the Script for a while now, and though this song seems to have been around for ages, I never tire of it. I think most people can relate to its sentiments. Brilliantly written, brilliantly sung. Congratulations to the boys from Dublin, we are proud of you, the best band to have come out of Ireland since U2.

I hope that this keeps rising. =) When I first heard the song about a year ago I could not imagine it would hit number one...After nearly one year on the chart the song is going recurrent next week :'( (dropping off from the top 10 where it spent 6 months) Gonna miss it...

Well well well, looks like after all this is gonna stay for one calendar year in the Hot AC chart. On Sunday, it's gonna be week #51 for "Breakeven". Then next week, even if Mike Posner and Paramore both overtake this one, no new song is expected to displace this from the #10 spot. (Katy is gaining but methinks she'll be #11 at best.)

That'd be a nice way to end the awesome run of Breakeven. Anyone know how many weeks it ended up spending at #1?
"For The First Time" sounds like a Hot AC smash to me, but I'm thinking they'll go with something that has more CHR appeal.
