I can't find anything about this online other than the listing that it's going for AAA adds on May 14. You probably know them from their 1994 breakthrough hit "Run-Around."

:O New Blues Traveler. These guys are legends, as far as I'm concerned. I don't expect this to do much, but I'm mad excited. This is by far the best year for new music in my lifetime.

I would be pretty surprised if this didn't do reasonably well at AAA unless it's completely radio-unfriendly. I still hear quite a few of their songs played regularly, although, admittedly, not usually anything from the 2000s. Actually, looking at their discography, at least one song from four of their first five albums seems to get spun pretty regularly: "But Anyway" from the self-titled, "Mountain Cry" from Travelers and Thieves, "Hook" and "The Mountains Win Again" from Four (don't seem to get "Run-Around" much on radio; not sure what my station has against it), and "Most Precarious" from Straight On Till Morning. Curious to hear what they have to offer now. I'm more of a casual fan. |

Their last lead single "You, Me, and Everything" was very radio friendly. I have no idea how it did airplay-wise. I know the music video garnered more YouTube views than I expected.
I think for bands like Blues Traveler that have lasted past their heyday, the best promotion is outside of radio. Getting your music in TV and film is crucial. Music videos are more important now than they've ever been. I would assume the majority of the AAA demographic doesn't listen to terrestrial radio anymore. Getting on Sirius is more bang for the buck.

Wikipedia (being the pinnacle of accuracy that it is, of course) says they haven't charted on any format since 1997's "Most Precarious" (#25 on Alt). |
