I'm happy to see this top 20, even if it is so old. This can take as long as it likes to become a hit.

To be honest,i do not think this will do much on the chart. This has take far too long to take off. This is #6 on iTunes. I cannot believe it. Now i realize that Hot AC is just not a good start for any kind of artist. These artists need to go for pop format first, cause these Hot AC audience are just late when it comes to trend and good music. Other than format Hot AC, other format has crossover hits that become big in Pop radio.

I'm so impressed, I thought this would peak in the 20's and fall off.

These artists need to go for pop format first, cause these Hot AC audience are just late when it comes to trend and good music. Hot AC has always been slower when it comes to those types of songs. The only times that Hot AC is normally faster with a song than pop is with their core artists, such as Kelly Clarkson, Colbie Caillat, Train, etc.

we need more artists to explode in Hot AC before pop. If not, it is basically useless. I feel that the Hot AC audience taste in music is same as pop but slower.

^I see where you are coming from. If you ask me, Hot AC needs its own core artists that aren't that big on pop. Colbie Caillat is a good example of this, but she might be the only one right now. I remember back in the early and mid 2000s, the Hot AC chart really had its own identity and wasn't just a slower spin off of the pop chart.

Hot AC > Pop
More awesome stuff like Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles, Matt Nathanson, The Script, Parachute Less crap stuff like Rihanna, Flo Rida, Drake, David Guetta, Eminem, Usher (at least to a lesser extent)

Exactly pop-lite.

It's pretty good. Nowhere near my favorite songs right now, but probably one of the better ones on Pop radio right now.

Interesting to see this being played on Alternative radio. It works just as good as Adele, if not better.

This is up there with "Bulletproof" and "Unwritten" has some of the best surprise Pop hits.

Shame on Hot AC hooping on this song after so long. It just proves that the artists like Ellie(not famous) should send the single to pop first. I see a lot of artist fail on their chart because their picked the wrong format to send the song.

This actually charted on Hot AC first, if I'm not mistaken. It actually went recurrent there and was brought back.

^my point was it got stagnant in Hot AC for a long time but now that this is #1 on pop chart, it went straight up with good updates, what does that tell you, KP?

It tells me that Pop moves faster, and that the stations don't seem to hesitate as much when it comes to putting a song into high rotation.

Yes, if it is a good song, it will get supported by pop stations but not Hot AC stations, they just wait or ignore the song.Sad.
