Originally posted by umichgrad07 I'd say a legit hit. I think it will probably end up somewhere in the top 30 in this year's Hot 100 year-end chart if it keeps up like this.

WOW!!!!!!!
Reminds me of Love You Like A Love Song chart run

"Sail" by AWOLNATION rebounds 27-24 in its 53rd week on the Hot 100, earning its highest peak to date. Its unusual longevity is due to rock and alternative-only airplay during its initial run (in conjunction with TV adverts and other sporadic promo). It has been slowly ascending the pop and hot AC airplay charts recently.

As of this posting, "Sail" has sold over 3.7 million copies since its release in January 2011.

Here is a look at its Hot 100 chart run:

89 - 84 - 89 - 85 - 89 - 88 - 82 - 87 - 90 - 91 - 92 - 96 - 96 - 84 - 88 - 94 - 100 - 89 - 97 - 91 - 63 - 61 - 60 - 55 - 49 - 30 - 34 - 37 - 43 - 40 - 44 - 48 - 42 - 41 - 40 - 37 - 47 - 49 - 44 - 47 - 41 - 39 - 36 - 35 - 36 - 34 - 31 - 27 - 28 - 29 - 25 - 27 - 24

A further push to pop radio could enhance the song's longevity and challenge for the most weeks on the Hot 100.
