Jason Mraz "I Won't Give Up"

I Know this song has been released for awhile, but I was wondering if this could be a slow grower. Here in Milwaukee 103.7 Kiss has had the song in rotation for awhile and recently upped it into powers. 97.3 Radio Now has also recently added the song. The song does seem to test well here. To me...it sounds like a song that could do well if programmers were not afraid of ballads...or perhaps it is just Milwaukee.
 
I can't see this getting any higher than mid-to upper 30s.....I was very surprised that Kiss this is power rotation (high power at that), they're pretty rhythmic leaning and this song is far from rhythmic
 
IMO this would have done better if it had been released as a follow-up after "I'm Yours" peaked a couple of years ago. It's a good song but I agree it won't get higher than #30 on the chart.

Click to expand...

Kiss is a different breed of Rhythmic leaning station...they are actually not afraid of ballads...They have had the likes of "a thousand years" and "safe and sound" in rotation as 2 recent examples.
 
I've heard it played... but it definitely doesn't agree with major-market CHR audio processing. Clipping distortion galore! :eek:
 
I keep hearing this more and more on HAC and it's really growing on me. And I'm very glad my prediction of its success on the CHR charts was wrong. It's at 29 now and still gaining and chasing "Everybody Talks" up the chart. :)
