I'm surprised this isn't in the Top 10, for all the buzz it got and the fact that it made the charts three months ago. But then again, alternative radio almost looks like AC at times. In 2001 and 2002, I remember thinking that the lack of chart turnover and abundance of 30+ week charting songs would be a trend that wouldn't last, but seven or eight years later, the longevity and lack of turnover still dulls the format. Lack of ratings. Poor album/song/artist promotion. Out of touch program directors. Alternative sources for music. Yeah, we get the idea......

This song has grown on me tremendously after basically hating it the first few times I heard it. I guess hearing it in (I'd assume an iPod commercial) and on NHL2K10, that probably helped.

I know that it's in a car commercial, but I can't remember what kind. I haven't seen the iPod commerical yet. I like the song well enough now. I thought that it was annoying when I first heard it.

I don't know how many people here remember the single from last year, but I used to confuse this with "Countdown" by Jupiter One. They both have pretty similar rhythms and are a bit new-wave-ish.
Every song I've heard from these guys I actually like more than this one.

I never thought of it before, but yeah Jupiter One's "Countdown" is EXTREMELY similar to this. That's the best comparison I could definitely give.

Well, this is appears to be jumping into the Top 10 sometime next week and is currently the biggest mover on the chart...this has to be one of the longest runs I have seen since Anberlin, as I am pretty sure this song was released (or at least I had it) as far back as March, can anyone confirm? Either way, prob one of the best songs on the alternative chart and looks like it'll be there for quite some time.

According to the first page, it started charting at the end of June. But as for the release, March sounds about right. It was first released in late February as a free download on their website. Some indie-leaning alternative stations picked it up almost immediately after that (completely bypassing the actual first single from the album, "Lisztomania"). So yes, around early March would be accurate.

I'm not sure where you got Lisztomania being the first single, 1901 was released as the first single in February, like you said, and then became a physical single far before Lisztomania did with a release in July. But even saying that, those were UK release dates. 1901 was always the first radio single in the US, Lisztomania hasn't even been released with an adds date in the US yet.

But even saying that, those were UK release dates. 1901 was always the first radio single in the US, Lisztomania hasn't even been released with an adds date in the US yet. There does seem to be confusion online which single was the first single: this batch of google hits points to "1901"these google results say "Lisztomania" was , including this Guardian article from May talking about the "Lisztomania" video, describing it as the "first single". The video for "Lisztomania" was released months before the one for "1901". Promo Only's April 2009 disc features "Lisztomania" - of course this means very little since it took until the November disc for "1901" to get on one, well after it entered the Top 40 of the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. My theory is that the band and/or Glassnote Records intended "Lisztomania" to be the first single, then saw the response from the internet and radio that they got from the "preview song" available for free download, "1901", and decided to change radio singles at the last minute.

Maybe now my Alternative station will bring this over from the HD station. Oh wait. They won't. They'll ignore it because it "doesn't fit their sound." Just like that Franz Ferdinand Top 10 song from earlier this year. Just like they could barely be bothered to play Paramore's "Ignorance" (though they played "Decode" a healthy amount back when it was a hit).

If this gets to #1 next Sunday (2/7), it'll break "Feel Good Drag"'s record for longest climb to the top.
"Feel Good Drag" Debuted: 9/14/08 Hit #1: 4/19/09, 32nd week on the chart
"1901" Debuted: 6/28/09 Hit #1: ?
1/31 will be the 32nd week for "1901", and it's looking very possible that it will hit #1 on 2/7. Unfortunately, this will probably do the same thing to "Lisztomania" that "FGD" did to "Breaking".

The obvious million-dollar question is...
Will it reach 1901 spins?

I know that it's in a car commercial, but I can't remember what kind. The ad is for the new 2nd generation Cadillac SRX luxury crossover. The car is selling very well in the states, coincidentally.

Well I thought it was "Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' until I decided to look up the lyrics and see that it's "Fold it"

The first time I heard it I thought it was "Fallin,'" but by the second chorus I realized that wasn't right. Then I heard the song again and picked out "Fold It." But "Ballin'"? People are stupid.
