I'm obsessed with this. I hope it can become a hit on Hot AC and then cross over to pop. After "Rolling in the Deep" and "Pumped Up Kicks" smashed, I think anything is possible. I thought this would be able to go to #1 at Pop and the Hot 100. The only problem is that they're delaying the Pop adds date by so much that this will be so old to the public by the time that it peaks.

Not so sure about that. You'd be surprised how slowly it takes people to latch on.

That cover's very popular as well. Personally I don't think it holds a candle to the original. I also wonder how they received the permission to record and release the song when the original version written by the original artist is still in its own chart run.
This song is now #1 at Alternative!

You mean to say that cover is popular on the radio?

You mean to say that cover is popular on the radio? It was really big on iTunes a couple of weeks back. The cover group also performed it on a few talk shows recently.

Adam or anyone, can you recommend a remix for this song? There's soooo many good ones. None of them that stand out to me among the others though. I just type in the sing title with remix on Hype Machine and let them all play.

Yep, just like that...let the crossover begin. It picked up other solid adds in Charlotte (Channel 96-1), DC (Hot 99-5), Orlando (XL 1067) and Columbus (WNCI).

I really hope this is the beginning of a genre shift for Top 40. No more RedOne/Guetta/Dr. Luke recycled crap.

Supposedly he's performing this on SNL and having this song featured on Glee around the same time in mid-April. Hot 100 #1 still possible?
Also, his album enter the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week.
Furthermore, this is #1 in the UK for a 5th week right now.
Gotye's year!

For the first time since what I imagine is the Mid 90's the Top 5 songs at Alternative are all pop songs. 1. Gotye - "Somebody That I Used to Know" 2. fun. - "We Are Young" 3. Grouplove - "Tongue Tied" 4. AWOLNATION - "Not Your Fault" 5. Foster The People - "Don't Stop" It's been a long time coming and I just thought that was noteworthy.

Also they are from five acts that no one heard of one year ago! (Ok, I heard of Foster the People a year ago but barely)
