Christina Perri - "Jar of Hearts"

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

This BLEW UP on iTunes after being featured on So You Think You Can Dance. Expect radio to latch on soonish.

Reminds me a bit of Amy MacDonald. Definitely a solid track, I wouldn't be surprised if this did turn into an AC hit.

She has a nice tone. The song is boring though.

[The Music Man]

She's playing at my station's holiday concert tomorrow night. Beautiful song - I don't necessarily actively seek it out, but I enjoy it when I hear it.

It's Top 15 at HAC and Top 50 at Pop. The tempo and lack of percussion will probably keep this from doing too much damage at the latter format, but I'd be happy if it became a sleeper hit.

Lots of VH1 support.

This is going to hit in 2011.

This song is boring as hell. I can't believe it's doing so well.

[Someone Like You]

I haven't heard this once on the radio yet. It's not bad but it doesn't seem like the type of ballad Pop would flock to. Even "My Immortal" had more to it.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I've heard this on the radio a few times when I was home last month. Sounds so boring on the radio. I like the concept of the lyrics though.

Random.

[Ammer]

Was it just released overseas?

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I guess so. I'm surprised it's so big though.

[Robert J]

^ It seems like the kind of soft rock tune that would be popular there, so I'm not surprised at all.
