Goes for adds on May 11 according to AllAccess.
Hopefully this has a better shot of doing well on Hot AC and perhaps CHR, considering how poorly "Sex on Fire" has done so far and has now been losing airplay.
Both songs were huge on both Alternative and Triple A, but this has more crossover potential.

I'd love for this one to cross over to Hot AC. I think it might have a shot. We'll see.

I'm taking this means a Top 40 add would be happening too? This is a much better fit for the Top 40/HAC than Sex on Fire.

There's no adds date on Top 40 as of yet, but I think they should follow soon since Sex on Fire isn't doing anything there either and it's already lost considerable spins like Hot AC.

Already #2 in Triple A!
3 2 KINGS OF LEON Use Somebody 498 483 15 1.788
Hopefully this manages to squeak in at least a single week @ #1 there. Wilco and Green Day (21 Guns) are trailblazing at the moment.

Wilco and Green Day (21 Guns) are trailblazing at the moment. I'm surprised Wilco isn't going even faster, to be honest. I thought a new single from them would be huge here. "Use Somebody" may have a shot if it doesn't pick up speed.

I don't know if 21 Guns will make it there given how Know Your Enemy just kinda stopped at the Top Ten. But then again KYE was more of active rock than Triple A.

This song is horrible. The singers voice is obnoxiously whiny.

It's called "emoting". I take it you don't care for the blues too much either?
At any rate, this song is doing what I would expect. I never really paid attention to this group until Sex Is on Fire, and then this song prompted me to actually buy something from them.

^ I know right! It's such a pity seeing this song stall at the #2 position, with "Funny the Way It Is" not really making a significant stride to break away from the rest of the songs in the chart. I get my info from Allaccess. ;)

And I can't stand 'Emo' music either

I was surprised as hell to hear this on my Hot AC station a few weeks back. It's really grown on me. I remember listening to their early album a few years back and while the songs were interesting, the vocals bugged me. Just soooo out there and raw. Reminded me of early Rolling Stones.

I dunno what I think about this being on Hot AC. I heard it after Cyndi Lauper and it seemed strange to me.

Out of curoisity, are there any stations playing this song with parts cut out?
My station appears to have added it to their playlist, although it skips the entire bridge, which makes the song a lot shorter than it actually is.
Just after the second verse, when the singer repeats "Someone like me" a couple of times, it then changes to "Someone like you" three times and then wraps up.
I also notice this with the abrupt change in the progression of the sound with the electric guitars in the background, where it's supposed to reach a high note but instead is low.
Also, it seems as if the audio quality of the song on my station is not that good, either.
Normally, the AT40 will tend to cut out parts of songs on their chart, but at this point, even they are doing a much better job playing this song in its entirety than what my station is doing. Frankly, it's disappointing how they can take such a great song and just pretty much ruin it.
