No, he is not. They are not releasing any more singles.

I think this is one of those unexpected hits that only goes so far. But if they play their cards right they should use this to launch a new album.

I disagree. The band is too established on Hot AC for that kind of strategy, and are kind of on the brink of becoming a true "core" artist on the format.
Did this do anything on pop?

Nope. It did not. I heard it a lot on my Hot AC station. I remember awhile ago my bus driver was jamming to it.

I've only heard this once on the radio. And if you want to know why, take a look at our Hot AC charts:
46 49 LIFEHOUSE Broken 138 152 -14 0.690

Because our Hot ACs are basically Pop with extra CanCon.

Is the CanCon good?

A lot of it is. But a lot of it is just filler stuff to fill the quota... and when it gets overplayed, then you really start to hate it.

I don't know why they changed it to the "new / radio version" or w/e it is. the original is sooo much better!

^Yeah, I agree. That's actually part of the reason I didn't chart it.
I think they were looking for more pop airplay with this song, so they made that new radio version. The funny thing is, this song hardly got any pop airplay.

Which is shocking to me. Despite the "new" version not being as good as the original, it's still a really great song, and seems like something Pop would play. Oh well

I think they were looking for more pop airplay with this song, Only thing is they never sent it to CHR for adds (wishin they had), so radio edit must've been for HAC I guess

^Oh, I didn't even know that.
That makes even less sense. They're a band who were pretty forgotten when "First Time" came out, but still managed two top 20 hits.

Yeah I'm guessin the callout on Broken wasn't high enough on HAC stations to justify sendin it to CHR IMO You And Me carried them all the way through "First Time", but a lot of CHR listeners blogged that they thought Whatever It Takes was boring and unoriginal (I completely disagree with 'em lol), but I think WIT started turnin CHR listeners off to Lifehouse just like Here Is Gone turned CHR listeners off to Goo Goo Dolls - both great songs IMO, just soundin too much like previous stuff

^That's a very good comparison.
I also think it has to do with CHR wanting to stick with the times. Bands can go forever on Hot AC, but on pop radio they normally have a shelf life of a few years. I think we can see it with bands like 3 Doors Down and Nickelback not charting as well with their most recent singles. In order to have pop hits so far into the future, I think you have to be a band that isn't a household name, Lifehouse being one of them.
