I wonder if it's having the same impact on others? For me, this is a song that unlike, say, "Can't Go Home," takes several playings to get under one's skin.
I've been keeping an eye on the song on YouTube over the last 24 hours, and I see that the official audio has gone from 332,964 to 345,514 during that period, while the American Idol video (official version; I wish others wouldn't upload it) has jumped from 541,613 to 569,043. Not bad!

Like you, I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it's DEFINITELY grown on me, especially after the AI performance. I really wish that the label would get behind it as a single . . . it's extremely catchy, Adam's vocals are to die for, and it's just so much better than most songs that I hear on the radio nowadays.
OK... I am in.... and loving it !! Thank you for making it possible... 1 hour of playing would have ~ 15 streams and if the computer is turned on 24 hours...360 streams !! I computed it assuming the song is 4 min... In a month, it would be 10800 streams, and it will just take 100 of us to make it more than 1 million streams in a month!madamimadam » Sun Mar 27, 2016 2:26 pm wrote:TALCvids 23h23 hours ago

Thanks for welcoming me back, Cindy!rustycat » Tue Mar 29, 2016 7:22 am wrote:marlock276 » Mon Mar 28, 2016 3:26 pm wrote:

all the different opinions are so interesting...when I first heard WTTS I liked it a lot but immediately thought it was not for radio -- usa radio that is. Just did not think it was made for radio here. On the other hand I thought it was absolutely perfect for commercial opportunities and that Warner needed to get its sync department on that stat...just a perfect song to be used in tv commercials, for sporting events etc. It has turned out to be one of his earwormiest songs for me...really just stuck in my head.....I do think fans need to have a better understanding of the economics of the record business; after ALN, no third single, whether it was from TOH or a new standalone offering, was going to get a label push in the usa. If for some reason it took off virally, or they get it a great commercial placement that makes it take off virally/organically, then at that point the label might devote resources to pushing it. But absent that, any new single (again whether from TOH or something new) is really just for the fans, for overseas markets and to have something new to sing on tour (he got more press from singing a new song on Idol than if he had sung TOH). The next big single push for Adam will be when he is ready to release a new album
