No. Thats the intention lol. Glad You Came - is a sexual connotation. They even hinted at it in their interview on Chelsea Lately.

Ha, and I thought I might have my mind in the gutter. But you can tell (being a boy band with oversexed fans) that they're trying to push sexual buttons with dirty double entendres.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTt9k4Y-a8&ob=av2e

that's why i was asking can we call it as a "flop" since the video didn't help much to boost the sales. by the way, the music video is Last Friday Night part 2.

I wonder if Kimbra can breakthrough after "Somebody That I Used to Know." Her album comes out in the U.S. very soon.

The non-singles aren't so good. But she's excellent live, and Settle Down is pop perfection.

I've heard Gotye's album is really the one to get. Must listen soon. I'm so happy that STIUTK is a hit.

I think this electro stuff is really on the way out (SLOWLY); who would had thought songs like fun. and Gotye would had smashed a year ago. I hope with these two, it helps Pop to start capitalizing on them faster. The demand is there for them.

If The Wanted want another hit over here they'll release Lose My Mind.

Lose My Mind is definitely the 2nd best song by The Wanted imo. However, I think they might not release it, since it came out originally almost 2 years ago now, and it kinda flopped a bit in the UK, so they might be scared to try it out anywhere else.

Also, I really hope you're right about the electro thing.

[Jeiboy]

I hope Kimbra releases "Settle Down" and "Cameo Lover" it would smash

34. Fun. - Some Nights

This song is giving me Lion King vibes


Surprised at WAY doing so well. It's the PUK of 2012, though hopefully it goes beyond #3 on BB

[Ger-55]

I think the thing with Glad You Came is that maybe it's a pop mess, but the sounds and the production are so hot and catchy so it's hard to resist.. Really catchy song, I have liked since the first listen like 1 month ago but I'm liking more now

[biomind101]

Can someone explain how Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye got so popular? Like what was the event that launched it into potential pop success?

I don't think there was one...it just caught on after many months of being a hit in canada

Was it a hit in the U.S. on the alternative charts before attracting mainstream pop stations?

I asked myself that when I saw it in the top 10 in Australia six months ago. It's hit #1 in over a dozen countries since then. Sometimes just being a great song is enough.

I still think that you people are celebrating way too soon. The song is actually in the top 50 now, and it wasn't before.

Their problem is that radio really isn't here to support them. It took them forever to play PRA while it had already been a smash everywhere else worldwide. And even then, they were playing Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" WAY more.

But the digital interest for them is definitely still there, for the people who party on their weekends. I mean, their music is more streamlined and suited for the club than the radio anyway. Look at how "Sexy and I Know It" performed. Radio virtually ignored it in favor of "We Found Love," which was DEFINITELY crafted with the intent of it being overplayed radio candy. Yet, SAIKI consistently outsold WFL while it was the number one radio song, and is STILL outselling it at this very moment. And you know, I've noticed that most people on this forum are ultimately here for radio candy, not club candy.
