I'm liking this song, I hope it does well. It's probably my 3rd favorite on his cd(behind 'Nothing Without You' and 'Lie...It's Alright'.

My favorite is "Remember Me". I think that's where his vocals are showcased the best. Valley of Angels and Willing to Try might do good on AC. Lie...It's Alright would probably do good on POP. Who knows? The Real Thing is an okay single.

The chorus sounds like Bread's "Guitar Man" to me. I think this was a wrong choice as a first single, and the title has just given people opportunity to take pot shots. I think "Nothing Without You" would have been a better choice. The lyrics might be a bit trite ('c'mon, c'mon, c'mon') but the music on it is really good, he sings well on it, and I keep going back to it to listen to it, which is a good attribute of a single.

I like this song. For some reason, though, it doesn't totally remind me of his performances on AI. He sounds different.

This is one is trying to sneak into the top 40... looks like he might actually finally beat Carrie Underwood in something. ;)

How is he beating Carrie in something? "Jesus, Take the Wheel" is number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. She is already TOP 40 on the official pop chart. No need to bring her into this.

^RCA lauched Bo ad on all access started yesterday. They haven't given it up. I just hope Carrie gets the same treatment for her pop release though. www.allaccess.com/The ad says.."It may be too early for great research, but it's never too early for great airplay". lmao!! it sounds like they're begging for his airplay! 3 added this week!

I guess you didn't see my wink... I'm one of Carrie's biggest fans here on this site... I was merely trying to cheer up the Bo fans... Carrie hasn't had a song hit the CHR/Pop top 40 yet... it appears Bo is going to do this before her... so, give Bo his much deserved props!!! And the Billboard Hot 100 is not a meaningful chart in this day and age... so while #25 is nice, it doesn't mean a whole lot... I'm much happier that "Jesus, Take The Wheel" is #1 on the Country charts and top 15 on the Christian AC chart and that "Some Hearts" has cracked the top 30 at Hot AC... not to mention the top 5 position she has held every week but one since her album came out on the album charts... What's truly important above everything else is album sales... and we all know where that stands at the moment... I hope that at the very least, they can get this thing Platinum before all is said and done...

Sorry..didn't want to put Bo down here, but frankly I'm not sure if he deserves this much props. TRT has 773 spins but only 2.6 aud imp. compared to Mary J. who has 880 spins with 6.5 aud imp? TRT has been played heavily overnight, and I'm sure you know what does this mean. 55 41 MARY J. BLIGE Be Without You 880 420 460 6.576 47 42 BO BICE Real Thing 773 628 145 2.695

I've heard that his video is being shot this weekend. Boy they are really going to need to rush it out if they want it to actually have an impact on radio play.
And yeah, it's definitely weird that a song almost in the top 40 would have only 2.6 million audience impressions.

I call this a serious case of BUOSitis + overnightplayitis. :( One of my favorite bands, Blessid Union of Souls (BUOS) would always have no problem getting almost all of the small market songs to add them... the medium market stations though were more difficult, and it was like pulling teeth to get the big markets to play them... The large markets always tend to play the CHR/Urban stuff first (ala Mary J Blige) while the mainsteam pop stuff (like Bo) is not added (if at all) until much later... So as a result, you see Mary J with lots more AI than Bo despite not that many more spins...

^^I know you’re trying to give Bo some probs, and I have no problems with that. But can you do it by not to bring Carrie’s SH here? Because I don’t think it’s fair. He’s been added to Clear Channel stations, but none of that for SH. Evidently, RCA is pushing TRT much harder. I don’t know why ppl like to bring Carrie in the conversation to make Bo look better. Carrie cannot be the indicator of Bo’s success forever. Bo needs to be on his own and compared to other artists in his genre. Are Bo fans gonna be happy with the small success he has over Carrie, but look ridiculous in the industry? Everybody who understands the mediabase chart knows what’s happening here. It’s not something you can brag about. It’s rather embarrassing and imo we should let it slide into the top40 quietly. Hopefully this doesn’t sound offensive, cuz I know you’re such a huge Carrie fan. Man..I read a lot of your payola posts when George Strait’s song appeared to be the strong #1, so you’re really surprised me here. I have problems with R&B/urban dominate the CHR/Pop too, but let’s use the same standard, R&B or not, Mary J.’s BWY deserves to be the top40 song. I can’t be biased toward my favorite. Goodness when Clay’s Invisible peaked at #15 with 659 spins but the aud imp was 8.324. RCA just launched the TRT ad on allaccess, we’ll see how this will help him & good luck.

i'm just shocked that RCA is actually putting money into payola for Bo, period. I would've thought they'd given up on this song already and went onto another single, if not recording a new album entirely. it seems like a lot of the larger markets are wary of this song, too. it's not bad, but i'd prefer Mary in there too b/c I love that song. lol, is that good or bad?

They're shooting a music video for this song! It looks like the label actually is going to support this one. Maybe they're planning to send it to Hot AC when the video is released.
Here's the info:
BOOKED: Bo Bice - Ryan Smith, director artist: Bo Bice song: "The Real Thing" label: RCA director(s): Ryan Smith production co: Merge @ Crossroads rep: Labuda Management

Picked up 27 more spins today... looked dead a week ago, it's very much alive and has a good shot at the top 30 with L.O.V.E. and "Crash" falling out this week and no worries anytime soon of anything from behind catching it... this is VERY unusual:
35 32 BO BICE Real Thing 1333 1155 178 7.266 47 33 SHAKIRA Hips Don't Lie (f/Wy... 845 527 318 9.231
A near 500 spin gap between songs this far down on the chart is highly out of the ordinary...

It looks like TRL is really helping this song. A month ago its bullet was in danger of being gone and now it's healthy (+220).

WOHOO!! I hope the song keeps growing and it will finally be played by NY and LA... KIISS played him but thanks to the AT 40 show but it's time they add it to their playlist
chartfreak it's helping, the song entered the top 100 songs on iTunes, that song has never seen that chart, he's #95 right now, let's hope it keeps climbing!

It's interesting to see how this song is doing. When it was dropped, I have the feeling that a lot of large market stations immediately said "hell no" and didn't give it a chance. Almost every non-Kelly Idol song that became a decent-sized hit has started out in smaller stations first, likely because of the bias there is against most contestants. The small market stations that have been playing it are probably getting a good response, and combined with TRL/AI exposure stations like KISS and Z100 might be giving it a second look. (The AI performance was ass, but I've noticed in several cases that the actual quality of performances hasn't mattered as much as the exposure of the song) Of course, RCA could just be sending out their "independent promotion", but why did they wait so long?

#93 now, I hope this can save the album a little bit.
Not a bad song I thought it was dead if this goes Top 20 it'll be one of the biggest turn arounds in a while, surprised they waited so long to do the promo.
