"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been," Relient K

[Chato]

Z100 has added this , hopefully this becomes a Top20 hit early next year.

[hellyes]

happy the band is getting major airplay with this one. love the song!

p.s.: is it just me or do I feel they're gonna re-release 'Be My Escape' to radio in the near future? Got that feeling. I dunno. I think it'll blow up if they do. (Remember Gavin's 'I Don't Wanna Be'.?)

[Krypton46]

Typical punk rock song that we've heard before from the likes of Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, Yellowcard, etc. I was hoping I wouldn't have to hear it yet again from another band.

[Diablo Cody™]

I didn't like this at first.

But I've grown to like it.

This is way better than "Be My Escape".

But this time its by Christians! and this song has more substance than anything by Simple Plan and Bowling for Soup.

Z100 is giving some serious airplay to this a week ago i didn't think there was a shot of top 20 but now they have a better shot. why not it's an awesome song.

Depending on how well WIAHWIB does I could also imagine this , I'll say that if this manages to go Top15 they should re-release BME .
I don't like it as much as WIAHWIB but I think it could be a good spring song for Pop.

I'm loving this song more and more. Finally heard it on the radio for the first time.

Like this a lot... always a fan of CCM songs crossing to CHR/Pop... nicely following the footsteps of Lifehouse, Stacie Orrico and Switchfoot...

I never thought I'd be uttering these words, but right now CCM songs are having an easier time getting airplay at CHR/Pop than stalwards like Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Rob Thomas, Backstreet Boys, Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne

[roybetter]

So this is #28 with a bullet over 250. That's a nice size hit for a song that I thought was going to go nowhere.

[clem]

Almost Top 20...!?

Talk about unexpected!

[John77]

^^ Yeah, nice unexpected surprise, huh? :)

[Chato]

This isn't getting any new adds now and Eminem will block this from going Top20 this week .
This also seems to have a pretty low audience for an almost Top20 hit . Might be done soon, but I think it's fair to say that this was a surprise success regardless of whether it goes Top20 or not.

[John77]

^^ It's low in audience because it has the BUOS syndrome... lots of small market stations diggin' it a lot, but the big markets aren't... sigh! Despite, I say this squeaks into the top 20...

[[upsilon]™]

Although I thought "Be My Excape" was a decent single, I think this is their best bet for a pop hit. I actually disagree with the majority here and think this is incredibly catchy, and I can see why it can potentially do better - if it isn't already - than "Be My Escape".

[Hook]

It's done much better than BME. That didn't even make the Top 40, I don't think. This is close to Top 20.

[perfectsituation]

They should re-release "Be My Escape." It will go at least Top 20 as that is much catchier and overall a better song.

[John77]

This took a big hit today with the Cumulus removal from the R&R panel... give it about a week to recover...

[clem]

Top 20! I hope it can stay there!

[Hook]

Great news! :)

[reception]

It debuted at #38 on Rick Dees this week.

[shannonk68]

I love this song!!

[roybetter]

Kiss FM in Dallas plays this song now. Unsurprisingly, it's on its way down.
