FINALLY slated for a June 9 adds date at Pop!
Naturally, the record company will have to fight for even minimal success at the format. But I'm holding out hope that it can at least scrape the Top 40 or so. It's finally making an impact at Hot AC, and it's playing on WXXL/Orlando and Sirius Hits 1.
There's definitely hype around these guys right now, so they might stand a better shot than other Alternative crossovers. We shall see.

I expect nothing but a #1 hit. The MTV Movie Awards should give this song a big boost.

They are performing this at the MTV Awards next Sunday, I can see this turning into a summer hit but not instantly. Hopefully it can go Top 10 by October...lol

I see this becoming a slow burning Pop hit, hitting Top 20 by the end of the summer and then going Top 3 in the Autumn. Total overplay one full year after it was totally overplayed in the UK!

I need to find the performance on YouTube, but the response is already great! #21 on iTunes - they'll easily break the Hot 100's Top 50 this week, maybe even Top 40! Hopefully radio takes notice...

This sounds great on pop radio I'm in Atlanta and Athens this week, and I heard this twice on Star 94 today. Perhaps it was partially due to the pleasant surprise and awe of hearing it for the first time on CHR radio, but it sounded absolutely superb. The DJ also hyped the Kings of Leon as the "hot new thing" in music. I'm really starting to feel like this could finally be a sleeper hit!

Best news all day - 16 adds at Pop!! That's good for fourth most added at the format. Special mentions include Kiss 108, WFLZ and XM 20, and it's already playing on Star 94 and WKFS. I cannot believe my favorite song of 2009 is shaping up to be some semblance of a surprise Pop hit!

Their popularity in the states is so weird to me. It's like all of a sudden the general public cares that the Kings of Leon are huge in England and thinks that they should be popular in the states because of that.
I love that they're getting more publicity here, but it's really odd to me.

Breaks into the Top 50 at Pop with a +249 bullet! Can't wait to watch the growth continue.

This WOULD be one of the songs that would always remind me of my year living in the UK, but thanks to American radio being a full year late, it's gonna be played out my whole first year back in States and totally wipe out the UK associations.
