LOL actually true story, I saw the topic for that song on CHR/POP and being a big fan of "Nothing on You" I decided to youtube Airplanes and when i typed it in it suggested "airplanes bob featuring haley from paramore" and I was like "AHH s**t" LOL, she is credited in the song as feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore. ;) i listen to alot of hot ac radio,and have been a fan of top 40 since the glam days of the mid 80s but sadly i have no idea who Hayley Williams is and isn't Paramore like an underground chick band?

Hayley is a fantastic vocalist from the Alternative band Paramore. Paramore has had several top tens on the Alt chart including Decode, Misery Business, and Brick By Boring Brick. I wouldn't say that it's a chick band, she's the only female in it. I suggest checking them out, they are really talented. They've had two CHR top twenties, Misery Business and That's What You Get.

Paramore is an alternative rock band from Nashville. They have had a couple of pretty big hits and get played a ton on both KROQ and 98.7 FM here in L.A. Hayley, who is just 20 years old, is the only female in the band -- so no -- they're not an underground chick band (whatever that is)

I was looking on yes.com today and saw a lot of spins for The Truth on a variety of stations -- including a couple of Top 40 stations.
Also, Kris's publicist tweeted in response to people asking about a music video.

#To tell you #TheTruth @krisallen has not been in one state long enough to shoot a video! 35 minutes ago via web
That response seems like they are planning to shoot one, but need to find time when Kris is in the same place. He's been traveling all over the place, but should be in L.A. for a few days in a row sometime during the next couple weeks before his tour kicks into high gear right after the AI finale (5/26). So hopefully they will film this soon

Hopefully the video won't portray him breaking up with that dude from train.

I'm not familiar with this format. Is it usual for a song to break the Top 50 in its 2nd week of official adds?

it will probably get more adds after he performs it on the AI finale next week. It's already #45 on the Hot AC chart, despite got getting a ton of adds.
It is picking up a few spins on the Pop chart as well

up to #44 on the Hot AC chart. It's only 9 spins behind the song at #40, so it seems pretty definite that it will crack the Top 40 by the next official chart
It sold slightly more than 8K downloads this past week. That number should jump after he performs it on the AI finale next week

The Truth is #41 on the HAC chart today. In a few days, Kris should have 2 songs in the HAC Top 40.

Look for Kris's new single to be in the Top 40 on the Hot AC radio airplay chart tomorrow. It's at #41 today and is only 5 spins behind Taylor Swift's "Today was a Fairytale", which is rapidly losing spins.
Having two songs in the Top 40 at the same time? Not bad. Not bad at all...

Go Kris, despite my reservations, I still want this song to defy expectations and do very well. It is a beautiful song and if it can break thru the summer jam even if it's somewhat a ballad, it can do good. What's working against it, is basically the reason why it might exceed.

Nah he has a show that night. Maybe if it's on Tuesday or if it's pre-taped, but both are doubtful.
