AAA is overdue for a new single. I hope what's happening here is they're sending this out to AAA to bite their time before the real across-the-board second single. "High" is my favorite song by him, but I think there's much better choices for mainstream radio.

I love this song, since I first heard it I liked even more more than "You're Beautiful".

Yeah, this is the first song by him thatI heard. It was huge in Italy last summer when I was there. I wouldn't have even heard "You're Beautiful" when I did back over the summer if "High" didn't draw me in to seek more of his music out.
Also, this song is currently being featured in commercials for the Hilton hotel chain on TV.

I don't know if this song will do well, but It's so damn catchy.

Also, if this is the mainstream second single, he needs to make a THIRD video for it. The first video is controversial and it includes Uncle Sam portrayed as a villain. The second video is boring as hell, it's just him sitting in what looks like an empty office with papers hanging from the ceiling.

This may be a AAA-only single, but it's currently pulling in several HAC adds.

Goes for adds at HAC on April 24.
I guess this is the overall second single now.

A great review for him. I really don't see "High" being a big hit here, but I hope it's enough of a hit so that there will still be interest in the third single. I can see it being a case of "High" just biting time before another Top 10 hit.

I'm seeing and hearing "High" for the first time! VH1 is playing it as a video premiere on their countdown.

His voice still irks me, but this is more tolerable than "You're Beautiful."

Only 9 adds and this is its impact week. That's awful. I knew this song wouldn't really continue his run at radio. This decision really kills his momentum. "Goodbye My Lover" charted on the Hot 100 as a non-single. Wouldn't it be logical to release that as the next single? Stupid stupid stupid.
