Well, if an Active band is going to cross over to HAC it would be Bad Wolves. They have a small amount of cred due to the "Zombie" cover, and this is significantly lighter and poppier than that. Anyway, I ain't gonna complain about more rock on HAC, and there are far worse choices than this out there.
I wonder how Better Noise is going to market a band with some Pantera-esque bangers like "I'll Be There" to HAC. Considering "Zombie" did do some damage on Alternative, and BN does have a major Alt artist signed in AWOLNATION, I can only think that Better Noise is going to try to market Bad Wolves as an Alt band.
(Of course, if that's the play I would expect "Sober" to get sent to Alt soon).

If this is the song that brings back guitar related rock music to the Pop charts so be it. Nickelback should be proud they melodically inspired this song.

At least theny don't have to neuter the song for the pop version like they did for the Zombie cover.

That’s way more than I expected for a song like this.

Yeah, it’s pretty much a somewhat poppier version of early 2000s rock crossovers. What soccer mom doesn’t bump “Hanging By A Moment” or “It’s Been Awhile”? Some more traditional alternative that isn’t AJR has done pretty decently on this format this year. I’m just surprised it got a Hot AC push before an Alt push. Or was there already one and I’m out of the loop?

I think the bar to clear is if this does better than "What Are You Waiting For?" by Nickelback or "Get Up" by Shinedown.

Cool that it made it. Time will tell if this will get enough traction for a top 40 finish.

I miss the rock/Hot AC crossovers of a decade ago, and wish I was aware of more songs like this. Without being an Active Rock listener, I guess I need to continue listening to The Pulse (who isn't playing this yet) or watch for new threads.
