When songs are this huge, there are usually some surprises. You see, Evanescence's "My Immortal", 3 Doors Down's "Here Without You" or Maroon 5's "This Love" don't sound like typical AC fare. And yet they are making some waves there. And really, AC radio needs to get with the programme, if it still wants to stay relevant. ;) "My Immortal" and "Here Without You" are good examples of AC-friendly songs. "This Love" is probably borderline, but I probably would give it a chance if I programmed an AC station.

"This Love" is a horrible choice for AC. It just isn't the place for lyrics like "keep her coming every night" and "so hard to keep her satisfied". Even the sound of the single has a seedy carnival feel to it. Unless AC radio has evolved radically this past year. I don't even think the fact the single was massive at #1 at multiple formats should have let this crossover. "With You" would have made a much better candidate. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

While I have nothing against your post or disagreeing with me, I think we will do just fine not opening up this can of worms.

lol, this is one of the most replied to topics in the AC forum and the song hasn't even made new and active, at least 3 weeks after the impact date.
