Jason Mraz - "I Won't Give Up"

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

As previously reported, Jason Mraz blasts onto the Hot 100 at No. 8 with "I Won't Give Up," courtesy of a No. 1 debut on Digital Songs. The song starts with 229,000 downloads sold without the aid so far of radio or a concentrated promotional push. According to Atlantic Records, however, a video for the song is set to be filmed this month and the label will begin promoting the track to adult pop and adult alternative radio Feb. 23.

"Won't" introduces Mraz's as-yet-untitled fourth studio album, due May 8.

Yawn.

Ya, this is pretty boring.

I wonder the hype around this. It's been at #1 on iTunes for over a week now!

Well three days later it's all the way down to #29 on iTunes. How does a song hold on to #1 for 8 days only to fall AS fast as it has?

Listening to this again and I have the eerie feeling that this has just enough of what made "I'm Yours" a smash that it just might be everywhere in a couple of months.

This is one of the most painfully cheesy songs I've ever heard, and I can't even make it through 10 seconds. Having said that, both of my sisters have made unsolicited comments about how much they love this, so Hot AC is probably smart to be throwing their support behind it.
