Don't get confused. I gave the MV a like for Dolph's appearance only. ;) The song sounds worst than it did when I heard it this morning on 91x. Actually I just heard the intro and changed the station to Rock 105.3.

I can't believe I'm saying this but this song has really grown on me. It's not the best thing ever or anything but it's solid, I enjoy it when it comes on, and it's waaaaaaay better then their last lead single.

This would be better if the chorus didn't suck

This burned on me really fast, and I hate this now. Iil give them one thing though, they make cool music videos. I Bet My Life's music video was pretty cool, and so was this one.

Every time I see the title to this song I think of the far superior American Authors one. And I don't even like that song.

The callout for this is very polarizing. Though it has the highest positive and favorite numbers, it has the 2nd highest negative number as well (only behind "Fire Escape"). It also has the highest burn rate surprisingly for a song that's only 11 weeks old.

The lyrics in the chorus are really hard to understand - thought he was saying "Knock me out, knock me out"

Part of the reason for the high burn might be the huge spin numbers on this- it has about 3300 spins, 600 spins more than the song at #2
Don't #1 sings usually have around 2800 or 2900?

Anyone else surprised to see this immediately dominating the chart despite the Alternative format's reticence toward playing established artists with multiple crossovers in years' past? I mean, this is already outperforming "I Bet My Life." Not bad for this deserving band. I am hoping for more.

...boosted by a few additions to the Alt panel a few days ago, but the record is notable nontheless. Hope Revivalists can hang on for the #1, they're making good progress but it would be a shame to have 3200+ peak spins and somehow miss the top.

It concerns me that this has been such a giant hit, when something epic like "Shots" couldn't crack the top 10 for them.

It's also a lot more subtle and arguably less poppy which don't exactly help songs become hits. I wish that would have been bigger, but I like this one too so I'm perfectly fine with this breaking spin records.

I remember back in 2013 when Numb's record seemed impossible to top. That was only four years ago.

i don't get how this is so huge & just won't die...& on almost every format too (top 10 on Hot AC now) ... i didn't think it was that good to start off with but with all of the over-exposure, how can people not be sick of this already?

People have been asking for a big Alternative crossover hit for months, and now that it's actually happening no one wants it

People have been asking for a big Alternative crossover hit for months, and now that it's actually happening no one wants it I think the subtext is they wanted a good big Alternative crossover hit. I'd take anyone else currently in the Alt Top 10 as a crossover hit over this. I didn't mind it at first and it even grew on me after a bit, but the overplay has highlighted the glaring flaws of the track. (lyrics, shrill chorus)

I feel like pop listeners like overplay and they like repetitive choruses- if people are waiting for a subtle nonrepetitive Alternative song to cross over to pop, they're gonna be waiting forever

What's even more surprising is how well its doing on Pop radio. The chorus is essentially screaming at the top of his lungs. I just don't understand how "I Bet My Life" did so poorly at Pop while this is doing well. They have very similar styles.
