Save Me San Francisco has some solid album tracks such as the title track, "Parachute", and "You Already Know" Thanks for the recommendation. I finally got around to buying the album this week, and I think it's one of (if not the) best albums I have bought so far this year. If this, and then the tirle track, get released to HotAC/CHR, they could have their most successful radio era to date.

Top 50 in Triple A! 60 47 TRAIN If It's Love 56 40 16 0.302 This doesn't really strike me as Triple A material. At least, not as much as "Save Me, San Francisco" does. But, considering they are Train, I'm not surprised.

Shot up to 77 on the Hot 100. I'm thinking it'll go Top 30.

Shot up to 77 on the Hot 100. I'm thinking it'll go Top 30. If it continues its ascent up the digital singles chart, it definitely will. The reason Uncle Kracker's "Smile" never made the Top 40 despite being an unmistakable hit was because they screwed up the release strategy. They let it go digitally well before it started to soar up the Hot AC chart, then after several more months finally crossed over into Top 40, then after another several months finally started impacting AC radio, and only now is becoming a sure Country hit. This single is rising up both digitally and airplay-wise simultaneously, which makes for a sure winning strategy in achieving higher chart peaks. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Another Top 5 hit in Hot AC for Train:
7 4 TRAIN If It's Love 3350 3126 224 17.011
To be honest, when this single was first released, I wasn't sure how to think this would do. Especially with "Hey, Soul Sister" still taking its time to be phased out.
My station here in Canada just promoted this song to regular rotation this week after being stuck in evenings/overnights for what seemed like forever. Glad to see that they exercised patience with this and it's beginning to pay off.

It'll be my pleasure to see this replace "California Gurls" as the next Hot AC #1. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif)

I must say I thought this was going to have success. I didn't think this would top Hot AC.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Perhaps this is what they were shooting for with My Private Nation. Similar rhythms, same-y lyrics, but a lot less stupid than most of that album (the exceptions being When I Look to the Sky & I'm About to Come Alive.) I'm still flabbergasted at the success of Hey Soul Sister (their biggest pop hit? Really?) but I'm not surprised this one is doing so well.

I'm still flabbergasted at the success of Hey Soul Sister (their biggest pop hit? Really?) but I'm not surprised this one is doing so well. "My Private Nation" was an overall atrocious album, with the exception of the two tracks you cited and "Following Rita" somewhat decent. I wish the band would dispense with "Save the Day" and "All American Girl" in concert! :/ "Save Me, San Francisco" is a decent album, though not as strong as "For Me, It's You" (though I sadly suppose it's understandable why they veered from that more organic sound due to its weak commercial run). I just happen to believe "Hey, Soul Sister" is easily the worst track on the album and I'll never get over how it could become the abominable smash it is, with this being the second-worst (not nearly as bad in that you can tell there is at least heart in-between the lameness of the lyrics including the references to "My Fair Lady", American Idol, Winger, Henry Lee, etc.........but still sadly pales in comparison to the title track, "Marry Me" and "Breakfast In Bed", or virtually anything from "For Me, It's You", for that matter). Some have wondered if I exhibit a bias to songs that use name-drops and references to pop culture in general. The answer is a resounding no. I just expect that, when such references are made, that there is some sort of emotional connect or commentary, rather than just a heap of declarative statements. "Hey, Soul Sister" lacks either, while "If It's Love" works a bit better in that you can tell Monahan has truly attained a halcyon high vocally singing of love's dawning, yet still comes across as lame too much. In contrast, the title track to their current album is effective in its cultural references because, after all, it has a sentimental, personal leaning in that the band formed and blossomed in San Francisco, and it's impossible not to doubt the sincerity of the band's love of their hometown with the throwback production and credible specific nods to the Tenderloin neighborhood and Alcatraz without overusing them and letting the longing and reuniting emotions speak for themselves. So, for a lesson on when cultural references and name-dropping in songs work or don't work, in my opinion, look no further than the three releases from this Train era. ;) Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I find that this song has BAD songwriting:
It's like he makes one line, then puts together a random rhythm scheme to make it sound good/catchy... What the F***? (same with parts of "Hey, Soul Sister")

anyone able to let me know how many units the album has shifted now ?
seems to have floated in the Billboard Top 40 for ages now
I know early on people were saying the single hadnt translated into album sales but would assume the 2nd single doing ok has seen the continutation of 10-15k in sales per week

I believe sales are slightly north of 400,000 units at this point. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

For a while it was looking like Maroon 5 would inevitably eclipse this track, but it now looks like Train is set for a second consecutive #1 hit as the momentum for "Misery" stalled.
"If It's Love" is also at an advantage in that "Teenage Dream" will siphon off spins increasingly from "California Girls", and that Maroon 5 have already announced their follow-up single. All the pieces seem to be falling into place for this to top the chart, barring a sudden implosion of its own.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

1 1 1 KATY PERRY California Gurls f/S... Capitol 2010 4287 4470 -183 94 45.6 47.6 -1.9 2 2 2 TRAIN If It's Love Columbia 2009 4192 4063 129 102 41.1 39.8 +1.3 3 3 3 MAROON 5 Misery A&M/Octone/Interscope 2010 3977 3799 178 100 39.8 38.0 +1.8
*
It looks like Train all but certainly have a second consecutive #1 (and their first ever secondary single #1) in the bag for next week.
"Misery" may be gaining slightly faster at the moment, but there's a fairly comfortable padding of over 200 spins distancing the two tracks, and I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that "If It's Love" will enjoy at least a single week at #1.
This will also give Train their fourth career #1 on the Adult Top 40 to date: putting them in a tie with matchbox twenty and Daughtry for second most #1 hits of any group (Nickelback have the most to date with five total #1 hits).
All the more impressive considering six years have separated Train's second and third #1, while Daughtry earned all of theirs in a mere two and a half year span and Nickelback all of theirs in a four year span.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

As of Aug 28 Rick Dees lifted If It's Love to the top spot, replacing John Mayer after only one week. Maybe their programming proves right this time.

Maybe their programming proves right this time. I haven't listened to Rick Dees since I moved to Portland in 2004, but it seems, from what I gather, his program tends to monitor stations that are more consistent with format history than stations that lean toward the current Mainstream Top 40 (most noted by the presence of Lady Gaga, Mike Posner, James Derulo and Katy Perry, among others) Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus
