Foster the People - "Helena Beat"

The follow-up to "Pumped Up Kicks" is already Top 40 at Alternative.

I love this and it sounded like a hit to me from the first time I heard it back in the winter.

I prefer this much more than Pumped Up Kicks

This is good. I'm really liking their music.

I initially thought this sounded catchier and more radio friendly than "Pumped Up Kicks." I still think it can be a hit but "PUK" is one of those songs that could potentially become so big that anything else they release gets lost in its shadow.

Personally I played this out way too much in February and March and now I'm over it and it reminds me too much of cold/the winter.

I don't think Pop will touch it, but I do think it'll be big on Alternative. They're going to pull a Phoenix and still be releasing songs at this time next year..."Call It What You Want" (even though it's one of my least favorites) has crossover potential on Pop, as does "Waste." I really hope they go for "Houdini" as the third single on Alternative, though.

I think all those you mentioned plus "I'd Do Anything For You" have single potential.

I didn't like this the first few times I tried to get into it but it clicked recently and I LOVE this now.

There's a really cool mash up of this with a Wiz Khalifa song. Definitely check it out!

I like that they edited down the intro. As much as I like this I was pessimistic about this being a hit, but so far so good.

I was surprised they didn't play this on SNL last week, but then they played 'Houdini' with special guest Kenny G. It was sort of great, I think.
