Out of the Box: Train-Ordinary

[95-7 Ben FM]

Great song! It's one of only three songs I like from the Spiderman 2 soundtrack (Vindicated, Ordinary, I Know You Know)

CHR Pop:
50-50-49-48-45-43-41*-38-38-36-34-33-29-28-28-27-36-40-47

* indicates highest bullet outside the top 40.

Weeks in top 40:  9
Peak position:      #27
Year end rank:    #100


"And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time"  Train-Ordinary

You never know. This might be a surprise hit. Remember Calling All Angels?! That was a big hit for them. I like the song...not their best song, but it deserves something. I say a peak at number 29 on Pop, but it will fair much better on Hot Ac and Ac. Pop with either eat this up or never give it a try.

if you ask me, I think that is about what i would pick for tjhe song as well.

Sorry, but you give some of the most unrealistic chart run predictions. Rising for 16 weeks and not even going recurrent?

This deserves to be a big hit, but I don't even think it will go for adds at Pop.

I think this will go top 10 at Hot/Modern AC, BUT at Pop it will either go like top 70 on the strength of those handful of TRUE POP stations out there or POP will embrace it along side the younger than 25 audience and hip hop leaning chr stations.

If it goes for adds at POP- #25-32 range
If not- much like "When I Look To the Sky" did #60's

They should make a CHR straight up traditional pop stations that plays the hits regardless of how old a band is and leave most of the urban music to urban stations and concentrate on music created within the genre and take chances on new upcoming singer/songwriters...... WAIT, HOLD ON THEY ALREADY DO!! HOT AC RADIO does that as does MIX XM which is a Hot/Modern AC Hit station on xm radio for all the demo's...........

What was the chart run for "Falls On Me"? That song had a slow rise and a fast fall.
