B.O.B. & Taylor Swift - "Both of Us"

[new_friends_gr]

Are a lot of CHR stations playing this song? What does everyone think of it? I rather like it, but it seems very unnatural to put Taylor Swift and B.O.B. together.

(The first time I heard this song was on VH1's weekend countdown show at the beginning of July.)

It's already peaked - I actually think Taylor Swift is fading from CHR. Her last few tracks, even one from a smash hit movie, didn't do much. I can't speak for B.o.B., but I remember a time when Taylor Swift almost instantly guaranteed a hit.

I haven't heard it much.

Not hearing it that much? Really? I'm hearing this one constantly. I just got back from a roadtrip to Florida, and this one was by far the track I kept hearing more than any on CHR. Also, while Taylor Swift's last couple of hits haven't done that great nationally, I think she still does really well in the heartland where the 18-34 CHR demo shares heavily with country. I know my local CHR (WWST Star 102.1 Knoxville) played the crap out of "Eyes Open", and they're still spinning the version with movie clip drop-ins from Hunger Games even now). So while major markets on the coasts may may be passing on some of Swift's hits, I think she'll continue to get CHR play in the South, Midwest, & Southwest.

It got some airtime in Toledo, but it seems both B.O.B and Swift have reached their peak as CHR artists.

I have not heard "Both Of Us" on WFBC in Greenville, SC at all and haven't heard it much on WHQC in Charlotte. Finally, WFBC ignored a song on the CHR charts worth ignoring.
