Not absolutely confirmed yet, but it looks like Interscope may push this to pop radio following its digital success. After reaching the top ten there, Interscope has it listed under the pop format on PlayIGA.com, their Music Meeting site.

Love it. Never thought I would say that about a Lana song. This one has proved me wrong, though.

Watch this be a multi-week #1 smash on the Hot 100, pop, hot ac, and ac! Realistically though, I could see this hitting top 15 on multiple charts.

Pretty decent song. It's the first single I've liked from her since "Video Games". Can definitely see it getting Hot AC and AAA play, but not so much CHR.

Of all the Lana songs they could have sent to pop, they choose this?  |

I'm not a fan of hers by any means, but I absolutely love this song. I bought it on iTunes as soon as it became available. I would love to see this become a big hit!

I really hope her label takes notice and promotes this. It has some good exposure right now so it wouldn't hurt to try. I would really like this to be a hit for her.

Where I live Video Games and Born To Die were big hits. They both sold loads (more than some #1 hits) even though they weren't on the radio that much (I heard them every now and then, but not a huge amount). I think the US is basically the last place she needs to get a chart hit now lol.

This is the first Lana del Rey song I may like and I hope it's the only one.

I still prefer "Video Games" but yeah this is definitely top three out of her catalog for me. Absolutely gorgeous.

Video games, Born to die and Blue Jeans are great songs, and pop didn't touch them (Video games was huge in some european countries).
But now pop chart is a lot more diverse, a lot of alternative songs found success, and maybe there is a chance that a Lana del Rey find some love in a pop chart

I think most pop listeners would find it dreary and boring regardless of whatever the song is, unfortunately.  |

I really hope this goes #1 now :) Oooh from genuine and inquisitive, to sassy and sarcastic. I'm in a tailspin. - This seems to be the least polarizing release from her so far. In that, reaction online, iTunes, media outlets, blogs... seems overwhelmingly positive. I mean it's the reaction I think 90% of her catalogue should be getting, but it seems like the wind is blowing in her direction this time around. |

Now #3 combined and tonight's Lana converts not even in the theatre yet. Well done, US public. Better late than never.

Quite frankly I still don't understand why she still hasn't one hit in the US.

Really loved that one. I think the whole SNL backlash made everyone in the industry weary for a bit. This is OK. |

I LOVE this song and Lana is like my religion so I hope the US finally takes notice of her; well, the album has already gone gold but it wouldn't hurt her to get a radio hit as well. The reason she hasn't had a hit in the US yet is simply because none of the songs were pushed. I hope that if this succeeds, they go for National Anthem next, then Blue Jeans and Summertime Sadness as the 2014 summer smash.

I don't even know where this magical idea of her voice being all that much of an acquired taste came from. Sure it's distinctive, but no more stylized than say someone like Adele. It certainly isn't harsh or abrasive enough to prevent people from playing her on Pop radio. I think just because she hasn't had much airplay, it's easy to assume it's for a specific reason. Maybe it just has a bit to do with a lot of different reasons.

Lana's whole vision is just out of this world whereas Adele is just a phenomenal voice with heartbreaking lyrics. |

WOW. This was unexpected. This song is really no better than anything on her absolultely spectacular album and EP, but the right exposure is going to get her what she deserves. Born to Die is at 600,000 sales, and Paradise is at 200,000. Now we get to see what she can do with a real hit.
