Goes to radio in May. I really liked their first album. It reminded me of when Santana's Supernatural came out. It was a great spring record. I'd love if they could have another hit.

I'm surprised these guys even had a hit in the first place.

Not too big on this one. It's definitely no "Heaven". The lyrics turn me off. They're trite and cliche. This will probably do well at Triple A.

This has a massive bullet at Triple A. It's almost Top 20 and it hasn't even gone for adds.

Goes for adds on May 22.

MOST ADDED at Hot AC with 12 adds.

Billboard review:

Diamonds
LOS LONELY BOYS
Producer(s): John Porter, Mark Wright, Los Lonely Boys
Label: Or/Epic

With "Heaven," Los Lonely Boys turned a fairly standard beach music ballad into 2004's song of the summer, scoring across the board at radio and earning the trio a Grammy Award and multiplatinum sales of their debut album. The brothers Garza do not stray far from the familiar with "Diamonds," the first single from follow-up CD "Sacred," due July 18. Loose electric guitars, easily recognizable harmonies and a lovesick hook are already serving as a magnet for adult top 40 and triple-A radio. Los Lonely Boys definitely have their own signature, and with warm weather right around the corner, "Diamonds" sounds like an even bet to propel the boys back to heaven. —Chuck Taylor

This is doing pretty well at Hot AC now. It has a triple digit bullet and it's in the Top 10 greatest gainers.

I'm not big on this at all, it's just "blah." "Heaven" seemed like such a fluke, I don't think that can capture that again.
