It Is What It Is or Falling In (hehe) would work much better ... hopefully one of them will be single #3. i hope they both get to be singles! :) i'd go with "It Is What It Is" as #3 though after 2 uptempo's

all true but i have seen cases where a song might be in the teens trying to climb and by the time the second half of the panel gets on it the first half is starting to slow down, so having station support helps, especially for core artists. It's on 100 stations monitored and Sirius Xm's The Pulse has a huge audience that doesn't get counted. I know what your saying and i'm not being technical, but in the case you had a song rocket to top 10 status and fal off fast compared to a song that battled it's way to say #12 for like 6 months, which is bigger? That shouldn't happen for Hot AC core artists though - and I think it's pretty rare on HAC in general - it used to happen a lot on CHR, especially with rock songs that half the panel waits for the other half to play first, but I think it's pretty rare for half the HAC panel to wait on a song for months while the other half plays it Yeah your right it doesn't happen that much anymore and it's usually not on a core artist, your right...but i'm hoping this one gets top 10 but it's audience at one time was bigger than #10 song,so i hope :)

"It Is What It Is" is crying out to be the next single, it's so perfect for the job. (it should've been #2, but oh well). Hopefully "All In" still hits Top 10 eventually.

I'd say it's in good shape to make the Top Ten. I can't see "Home" teetering around the rim of the Top Ten forever before collapsing, and multiple singles are on the descent. They'll get leapfrogged by Taylor Swift, but that's about it. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I loved "Halfway Gone," but find this one incredibly irritating. "I'm all in for life" - WTF, is this some sort of 'let's band together to fight cancer' theme song?

"All In", to me, sounds like "Spin", except sandpapered, acoustic rather than electric-guitar driven and lacking the epic construction. The repetition and cadence in the song's chorus sounds exactly the same as "Spin" in particular. That said, "Spin" is a much better (and underrated) song, where I especially like the thunderous outro (I wish they'd do things like that more often musically) Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

^IMO to really be a "hit" on Hot AC you gotta hit Top 10, just cause spin counts aren't as high as they are on CHR, and songs that peak in the teens on HAC (and are HAC exclusive) really still get limited exposure If a new HAC act peaks in the teens IMO they got their name out there, and their song heard, but I think if a HAC staple peaks in the teens, that's pretty much a disappointment LIFEHOUSE All In 247 112 at #8 almost #7 and climbing! I knew it was a hit when it was #15 ;)

I knew it was a hit when it was #15 ;) It's interesting to see this explode all of a sudden. It was certainly radio-friendly since the first time I heard it, but nothing about it necessarily makes it stand out either. Is this being featured on some upcoming movie soundtrack I'm not aware of? I can't think of any other reason this would suddenly accelerate when 1) it isn't enjoying the same effect at the Mainstream Top 40 format and 2) it had been struggling for a good month and a half prior, virtually wrestling for its life against Taio Cruz, Taylor Swift, the Goo Goo Dolls and Enrique Iglesias for a Top Ten position. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus It's also start to speed up on CHR too; it suddenly started to increase in spins acouple of days ago for an unknown reason. It's currently at #66 with no adds date or promo for CHR.

11 7 LIFEHOUSE All In 3004 2699 305 17.106
Give it a few days and "All In" will be at #5 which will probably be its peak. Right now there's a difference of 471 spins between #7 and #5. Awesome haha

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus i just feel the hot ac format is starting to get more competitive, especially the top 20 and that's a good thing! more exciting right? ???

I know there was one that was like a hybrid of the two, but leaned AAA.

Also, if I recall correctly, didn't "Halfway Gone" peak around #16 or so on AAA? I think they're of an equal stature to Rob Thomas as far as scope of appeal on this ever-evolving format. Where garnering a Top Ten hit will be difficult, but nonetheless also benefit from having robust spin-totals from even a small handful of stations that have Hot AC-leanings. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I believe if i remember correctly Rob carting with "Her Diamonds", "Someday" & maybe "Mockingbird" for a week or 2 and then i think "Streetcorner Symphony" and M20 charted there too a few times!

Is there any official word on single 3? "Falling In" or "It Is What It Is"?

Nothing that I'm aware of. The band themselves is leaning towards Falling In but of course that doesn't mean much. I hope it's It Is What It Is. So much better.

^"All In" followed by "Falling In"? IMO wouldn't be a good move - people would think it was the same song
Besides It Is What It Is is a good song - not sure why they keep holding off on it

People would get confused easy with both ending with 'In' and Falling In is just fluff. It Is What It Is is far more interesting.

That one is Hot AC leaning, although not nearly as bad as it used to be. I know they had "You & Me" in heavy rotation and for awhile they were even spinning "Sk8er Bi" & "Let's Get It Started"...

I wanted "In Your Skin" to be single but I know that won't happen since they already released 2 upbeat songs from this album.
