The Rasmus, "In The Shadows".

[Diablo Cody™]

I really love this song to death, does it go for adds? If it does will it chart? I hope it does.

[msanoja]

I hope not. It's so bad. Though not as bad as that Kevin Little "Turn Me On" s**t.

[billcs]

This is just punchy enough to crossover here. I've been waiting, it got to #6 on my chart earlier this year.

[Unexpected]

It's extremely catchy, but the only thing that may hold it back on CHR/Pop is its darker lyrics.

[No Brake$]

I had this last summer, it is a great song, I don't know if it'll make it here though, I hope so.

NOW THAT AMERICAN IDOL IS OVER, PLEASE JOIN THE FUN WITH SUPERSTAR IDOL, THE SEMI-FINALS ARE ALMOST OVER! JOIN AT THE POLLING BOOTH.

I love this song, but I don't think it'll be a hit in the U.S.

Same here. This was huge in Italy when I first got there in January, so I'm assumming it was a hit last Fall before I got there. Its really catchy but the image of the band jus doesn't fall into place with the USA Pop scene. They sound a little bit like Backstreet Boys but look like Marilyn Manson... ummm, that my friends and I never got.

[BlahBlahBlah]

I love this song.

It's already Top 20 in Canada, so I wouldn't be surprised if it can be a hit in the US.

[Crushcrushchris]

Upon first listen, I didn't really like it, but it quickly caught on.

I like the 80s vibe of the song and the video is fun, too.

About their unconventional image, well it hasn't stopped Good Charlotte from being really successful last year.

I think that the image is fine. They actually remind me a little bit of HIM.

[Unexpected]

33 spins, 19 of those spins in WAKS in Cleveland. I really think that this could be the darkhorse hit, the all around catchiness will overshadow the darkness of the lyrics.

This is on R&R Going For Adds Radio for CHR/Pop.

[JCMF3]

I saw the album at Walmart for $8.64! :)

But I still haven't heard this song yet.

I like it.

This surprised me here by getting off to a great start, but now it already appears to be done. Hopefully it can still at least crack the Top 50.

Not enough audience to keep the song going

If they got played by more mid-high level markets, I think the song would have gotten into the 30s. It deserves higher though.

Forget Modest Mouse's 'Float On' (I always knew that one would crossover), The Rasmus' 'In the Shadows' is the surprise crossover hit of the moment (dare I say it, of the year) because the song didn't do well on Alternative, this group is downright creepy, and it sounds so euro-trashy. THAT'S WHY I LOVE IT!! It's currently just shy of the Top 50 & I see it easily breaking Top 40. Love it or hate it, it had the most awesome opening of any song this year (the first 10 seconds, sounds like a spacecraft landing fading into the music or maybe it was some bad weed I don't know ) Anyhoo, If u wanna vote for In the Shadows, check out my site www.rayato.com, and vote in THE VAULT PEACE.
