I agree - but I actually think it's going to go Top 20 on Pop too - sorry to the posters who will die if this happens Some of the bigger market stations are increasing spins and Z100 in NYC has been testing the song recently, so TRT's not finished at pop radio yet.

TRT has jumped to #36 on iTunes, the highest it's ever been, let's hope it keep rising!

Cool about iTunes! I wonder how much iTunes impacts the total digital downloads sales numbers.

Z100 officially added TRT this week. It's #32 on their top 100 playlist!

That is exciting news about a June release. I noticed last week that the sticker on the CD cover said "Includes The Future Hits, "The Real Thing", "U Make Me Better", "You're Everything and more! and wondered if UMMB would be the next release. RCA seems to be supportive of Bo and with the success of the single TRT, I would expect UMMB will just skyrocket to the top of the charts. IMO, it is a much better song.

Congrats doctorluke, that's one of yours, isn't it. Did you get an insider tip about this?
It is a great song, I love the guitar riff.
But really, what's with the U?

I love UMMB, but I was expecting You're Everything to be the second single.

Oh wow! I much prefer UMMB to "You're Everything" - except the "U" which just makes me crazy.
This is exciting news. I hope they shoot the video on time this time.

Cool! I was expecting "You're Everything", but I actually prefer "U Make Me Better"...it is one of my favorite songs off the CD. I think it will be better for radio...I think the opening guitar riff is a better intro than on "You're Everything" which starts almost immediately with vocals.

U Make Me Better is a really great song. I like it a lot better than You're Everything.

Thanks, doctor L. That's great news. I heard Bo perform this live and it was amazing. He really put his heart and soul into it. Really glad to hear it's the next single as it is one of my favorites off of the cd.
YE, though catchy, is not one of my favorites. Don't like the lyrics. I also think UMMB is much more interesting musically.

Yeah Bo loves that song. In his concerts he always introduces it as 'one of his favorites' and he did a kick-ass version when I saw him.
For those posters planning suicide when TRT hits Top 20: you might want to start getting your affairs in order ;) It moved up to 22 today and it looks like it will be Top 20 by the end of the week.

a year ago, if you would've told me that Bo would have bigger success on the pop charts than Carrie, i would've laughed in your face. great for him though!!!!!

wow... I'm in shock... this is going to be top 20 by the end of the week unless something crazy happens - most likely will end up at 19 or 18 if everything falls into place...

He should sing country-rock in the vein of VanZant or Keith Anderson . I doubt he'll have another pop hit after this .

Or did you mean after this album? The next single to be released is U Make me Better, and that will most likely chart higher than TRT. I like TRT but UMMB is a much better song. (well, in my opinion) And after UMMB, they'll probably release You're Everything, also pop-rock. :)

I'm not saying UMMB will be a huuuge hit, I don't know that, but to make a prediction that Bo won't have another hit is a bit premature.

I'm not saying UMMB will be a huuuge hit, I don't know that, but to make a prediction that Bo won't have another hit is a bit premature. No kidding! Especially since everyone panned TRT and said it would never be a hit. I seem to remember lots of people saying that RCA was just trying to torpedo Bo's career by making him release such a bad song. Instead, they have worked the single really hard and Bo has worked like a dog to promote it in every big and small town that will have him. UMMB is a great song, and all the schmoozing Bo has been doing will hold him in good stead when it's released. btw - I saw an interview where a fan asked Bo if it's true that UMMB will be the next single - word gets round fast, huh? He said "I have no idea. Ask Clive." Ha ha.

Hey Dr. Luke - be ready to hear your name dropped everywhere Bo goes. I've noticed that on every tv show, interview (radio/tv) he always mentions the names of the writers and producers - I must have heard Marti Frederkson's name a 100 times - b/c anytime someone would ask about TRT he would say" This song was written by..." "produced by..." even with comments on the video on mtv and vh1 - when someone would compliment the video he would say "yes, its great - it was produced by Ryan.... "
He's very good about giving credit where credit is due

Yes, Bo is very careful that way, very gracious.
Ratethemusic has just put up a special Bo Bice survey, asking for opinions on U Make Me Better and Nothing Without You. I do hope RCA isn't thinking of NWY for the next single. Its not nearly as good as UMMB.
I've got my fingers crossed that you were right when you said it was definitely going to be UMMB, doctorluke.

RIP, those of you who think TRT is the worst song evah. It's at #19 on MediaBase this morning. Do you plan to stab yourself with the pointy corner of a cd case? Or just listen to the song over and over until your head explodes?

Yay, for Bo making the Top 20!! I mourn the loss of those who have died so that Bo may enjoy a top 20 hit. Why would they consider "Nothing Without You" as a single? ??? I am hoping this is just a way of testing UMMB against another song, because NWY just sounds like bad Bon Jovi. Bo has never even played it in concert once.

I do think UMMB has great potential and am really looking forward to it being the next single. I'm glad RCA has done a good job promoting Bo and he has totally worked his ass off, so, to me, it's a well-earned top 20 slot. And, I will admit, TRT is catchy as hell.

Hopefully for Bo's sake people on RTM will vote for UMMB and not the other song.
