The Band Perry - "If I Die Young"

[mrclimbfall20]

This is a really good song and I think should be a decent hit on Hot AC. It's a former #1 country song...I'm surprised it's charting so late here. Four stations are playing it with 3 adds this past week.

That's a healthy bullet for a new band to the Hot AC chart.

Looks like it's starting to take off again. I hope it becomes a top 10 hit.

No, not at all! A lot more discussion usually happens in the Pop/CHR forum, though.

I hate the pop mix for this song. It makes it lose some of its poignancy, in my opinion.

The original, however, is beautiful. The understated acoustic arrangement is great. This should be a top twenty hit at worst here.

I love the song. I even like the pop mix....it's nice to listen to once in a while for a change. I'm glad both of my local stations are giving this a lot of spins already.

Yeah this song is really taking off. I wonder where it'll peak at..

[Kurt]

YES: SiriusXM The Pulse finally added this! I'd like to think it's because I requested it on their little Mediabase form a few days ago, hehe.
