I think this is a great choice for the third single :) perfect for Winter. They're releasing the title track of their album as the thid Australian single. I hope that'll be fourth in the US.

Even though I like the title track more, I think "Marry Me" makes more sense as a release in that three up-tempos with quirky lyrics would be overkill. Up until this era, Train were more known for their emotive ballads than their uptempos. I think that's shifted this era, but regardless Monahan is just as effective as a crooner, and this track spotlights that well. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

There's now a "First Dance Remix" of this song being sent out which adds a drum beat underneath. I like it better than the original.

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus It had zero chance on CHR and very little on HAC without adding the drumbeat - the mix actually makes it a competitor on the chart - I hope they added keyboards too

whats the album sales so far ? is it GOLD yet ? Pretty close - I think it's around 450K right now. I'm surprised that it's already top 50 on HotAC, though they are having a great run with this album.

Seems to be off to a brisk start to me! And I'm even hearing the non-remixed version here! ;)
I'll have a review for this single published on American Noise within the next couple of days.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

This song could've been written by an 8-year-old
The remix can push it up Hot AC (especially cause they're coming off two #1 hits), but IMO no way this is doing anything on CHR

"Marry Me" is a beautiful love song from the opening guitar to the final note. It's simplicity works a million times better than anything forced. This will be like a Howie Day "Collide" on chr, but again chr sucks at playing pop rock music so i only really follow the core format. HOT AC and it will no doubt be huge at AC as well and VH1. But if it sounds to you like an 8 yr. old wrote it, then it would actually fit right in at CHR in that case lol. Justin Beiber watch out lol

I can see this peaking in-between their previous two singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With "Shake Up Christmas" also boosting Train's visibility in the couple of months ahead (I don't like this song but it's clearly going to make an impression as there's already a major effort to get it to #1 in the United Kingdom as a Christmas hit, similar to with Rage Against The Machine's hit last year) these two releases together will help "Save Me San Francisco" go Platinum by mid-spring.

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus Yes i did argue it's impact at first, because i thought "Parachute" was the obvious single choice. But your posts actually made me listen in a fresh way and see the honesty of the track as that of "Collide". Then the remix just made the song for me especially the ending where Pat sings in a more powerful voice to end the song!, i actualy made an edit 4 my station which starts out acoustic then goes to the remix after the first chorus on :). But at no point would i ever say that anything Pat Monahan wrote sounds like an 8 year old. That is just someone hating on a song ;)

But at no point would i ever say that anything Pat Monahan wrote sounds like an 8 year old. That is just someone hating on a song ;) The lyrics are simplistic, sure, but simplistic doesn't always mean it's juvenile. It's one thing to pen lyrics that many can surely think up, but it's a whole other talent to set the mood over them. Besides, I'm sure there are eight year olds who could pen something like "Beg, Steal or Borrow" or "Dog Days Are Over" if they wanted to (the most famous classically-trained pianists were even younger when they made first impressions). Age is almost always irrelevant to musical quality in my view. This is that kind of hit that's meant to evoke a mood rather than ignite that bounce in your heels. I've already compared this to Howie Day's "Collide" and Lifehouse's "You & Me". It's that kind of destined hit that doesn't try to be an earworm but becomes one anyway because of its emotional appeal. I do agree "Parachute" stands out as one of the more obvious single contenders on the record, even though I think almost any track would work well at radio besides "Breakfast In Bed" and "You Already Know". Given this is already charting well and Monahan has had his hands full touring this record and not having as much time to record the follow-up, I can see a fourth single being released and though I'd prefer the title track, I agree "Parachute" is more likely to be a hit. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I see your point about "If It's Love" peaking at #18 vs #1 at Hot AC, but still don't agree CHR plas pop rock songs cuz they don't except when they have a void to fill and Train got lucky this cd. Rob Thomas, Goo Goo Dolls, Bon Jovi, Lifehouse...i could go on and on even Daughtry and Nickelback can't compete with Justin Beiber and Flo Rida lol. Now if u can honestly tell me Justin Beiber, Flo Rida, Far East Movement are better pop songs than Train's or Rob Thomas's then i better retire at age 32,i'm too old 4 music then. I mean Selena Gomez and Miranda Cosgrove had easier times getting top 40 tahn Rob Thomas, what the hell, he was the backbone of the format from like 98-03/ But back on point, "Marry Me" might not go any higher than #30 on chr but then again "Mockingbird" by Tob Thomas didn't even chart at chr, so with all the pop rock hits chr misses, i've really stopped caring if they get one right now and then. So who knows, from now on i'm sticking in the hot ac forum where i belong lol,i'm too old for chr :(

^Yeah right now there are so many "pop-rhythmic" stations reporting to the CHR panel (and there are new stations being created every week it seems) that following pop/rock on the CHR chart is getting to be ridiculous - the new trend is for cities to have two "CHRs" - one mainstream, and one pop-rhythmic (i. e. Rhythmic, except it plays Katy Perry, Kesha, and Lady GaGa, so it calls itself pop) - check out the thread in the CHR forum about the new CHR station competing with G105 in Raleigh NC - that's basically what's happening in more and more cities across the country (someone posted the playlist, and it's completely rhythmic)
IMO until they figure out how to sort all this out, the CHR chart is gonna be a mess
