This is starting to gain ground on AAA (and it's Top 10 on Alternative) - seems like the kind of song that could do really well on Hot AC three months from now, just cause it's so freaking catchy www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ36 33 FOSTER THE PEOPLE Pumped Up Kicks 90 66 24 |

I really can't see why this would do well on pop or HAC.

It's probably too intelligent for CHR, but there's no reason this couldn't go to #30 or so on Hot AC... I could see it having a "1901" style run, where a handful of stations carry it and give it decent airplay.
Musically, it reminds me of the Black Keys, whose "Tighten Up" SHOULD have been played at Hot AC, but wasn't.

A song about blowing people's brains out too intelligent for pop? I don't think so.  If pushed, it could do just fine on pop...maybe Top 20. Hot AC...ehh, #30 or so sounds about right. I'm surprised it's charting on AAA at all. |

I really like this guy's voice. It's unique. I don't have high hopes for it on HAC. I think that it might be a little too left field for the format.

Yeah, if anything I'd expect it to peak in the 30's.

I think that it might be a little too left field for the format. I know it's pretty left field, but so is Closer To The Edge, so I'm hoping maybe this can have a similar run |

.I wonder if Death Cab has ever charted on Hot AC - Yes, they did. "Soul Meets Body" and "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" both made it into the 30's, and "I Will Possess Your Heart" made it for a week or two as well. |

I just checked at Billboard.com, and "Possess" did peak at #40 on their Adult Top 40 chart. |

I can see this doing well (top 20). Its a really cool song. It took two listens to "get it", but now I kinda love it.

I can't wait for this to hit the Ryan Seacrest show, so that we see how they edit it. All instrumental?

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, better run better run, outrun my gunMichael?
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, better run better run, faster than my bulletthe others?
...or something like that. I'm shocked this is doing so well on AAA, but still fully expecting this to be a pop hit. Ridiculous lyrics have never stopped anything from charting over there & I don't see why the distortion would make it unfit for pop as long as it's catchy.

All the edited versions do is edit out the words "gun" and "bullet." I heard it on the radio for the first time this past weekend on Rick Dees and that's the edit they played. Same with VH1.
