Saw an ad on NBC, saying that Bo will be appearing at the Macys July 4 celebration, along with Nick Lachey and Lionel Ritchie. This is a excellent. Hope Bo does UMMB!!

Sorry you don't like it, but promo-squad hit predictor disagrees with you.
BTW It is not my absolute fav. on the cd, that would be 'Hold on to me". But I'm not the one who makes the decisions I leave that to those who know hit music. The reaction to this song has been more positive than negative. A lot of people hated TRT when it was first released, and it became a top 20 hit. So I am going to have a positive attitude, and hope the powers that be know what they are doing.

Somewhere around 700,000. He's been off the top 200 the last few weeks, so there is no way to know the exact current total. Not too shabby for a debut cd from a guy who was working at a guitar store 2 years ago.

This is horrible. Finally heard it yesterday and this is a big flamning pile of barf. Absolutely no offense intended, because each to their own, but looking at your avatar and screen name, if you and I liked the same song, I would be shocked (and probably check myself into some kind of clinic). So I feel encouraged that you hate it so much. Meantime, it seems to be doing well in the cage match spin things on various stations so I think it's going to do really well. I saw Bo last night and he played this last before the encore. He's getting good at the self-promotion because he asked everyone to call in and request it. The show was sponsored by a station that's been playing UMMB for 2 weeks and the crowd really responded well. Lots of kids ran down the aisles to the stage when they heard it start.

Well that was an insult and I'm allowed to have my own opinion. I just don't like this song. I don't find it radio-friendly at all or to be as catchy as The Real Thing. I just don't see this doing well. It doesn't have any sort of catchy parts. That's what a Pop song needs.

I love this song! sorta does a falsetto in there towards the end... heard this song on my local station today - I really, really, really like it! the DJs were talking it up, too they like it so much better than Real Thing they said this is much more what they expected from Bo I think I heard this too, I believe it was on the Ace & TJ show (syndicated show in the southeast)

I know! I think I'm going to have to check myself into some kind of clinic if people don't stop insulting each other in this thread - gives me a headache! Last I checked, you could have whatever avatar you wanted and still like different artists and different kinds of music. But then again if a song made me barf, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go to that thread and say so. I'd probably just change stations on the radio. lol
I do think UMMB will do well. I agree that it's probably not as catchy as TRT and some other pop songs, but what I really like about the song is that it builds in intensity. Anyway, I hope it does well b/c I like Bo, and I'm sorry if it makes some people barf! Maybe you can sue Dr Luke for stomach medication?...

No sueing involved here emily4. I think Bo's next single UMMB is great and to everyone who thinks not, whatever to each his own.

Hee. It actually wasn't mean to be an insult - more an observation of fact. I would be surprised if Britney's #1 Fan and I like the same song since our tastes are obviously so different. That's all.
It would be a dull world if we all liked the same music.
I've been tracking this on Mediabase and it seems to be doing better than the other songs released on the same day, with the obvious exception of Sean Paul. Hopefully early research from these small stations will be positive.

Bo is entering a much more packed field now than when he released The Real Thing. People have to press the radio stations that much harder to play it because its a great song and different than a lot of the other stuff being released right now. We need to get a major station on board too.

I remember TRT stalled for about 2 months in the 50s. I really don't want that to happen again. ???
Bo has told fans there is a video in the works, but no details. I wish they'd get it out soon.

According to Bo's official website, he'll be performing UMMB on Regis and Kelly on July 20th.
Fans have reported radio radio interviews all over the country in the last 2 days, so I'm hopeful the promotion is kicking in.

This is actually my favorite song on his cd, so I'm glad it's his next single. I'd like it better if they spelled 'You' correctly, but I won't nitpick. I think it does have a hook to it, and it's catchy. It's a good song to sing to in the car, and that's a good thing. I think it will do better than the Real Thing as long as it gets some decent airplay, even though I liked that song as well.

It's actually not that bad - July 4th is a slow week. DanG82 posted this week's R&R chart in another thread and here's the Top 5 New & Active: AFI - Miss Murder (#54) Bo Bice - U Make Me Better (#57) Ciara Featuring Chamillionaire - Get Up (#58) Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most (#60) Teddy Geiger - These Walls (#61) This song is going to do fine. I feel it in my water btw - weirdly enough, at exactly the same point after release, TRT was at #54 too, but it stalled in the 50s for a long time.

When did they release the video for TRT? Was it in the 50s at that time, or had it gotten higher? I mean, did the video end the "stalling"?

They didn't release the TRT video until Feb or March (3-4 months after the song hit radio!) I think Bo's illness delayed the video though.
TRT was Top 40 by then, but had lost its bullet. The video did really well on TRL and that turned the song around.

I hope they make a good video for UMMB. The TRT video is ok, but I hope they make one with more of a concept behind it for his second single.

This is one of my favorite songs on the CD - I'm really hoping it does very, very well on multiple formats (POP, A/C and Hot A/C)
