Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette-Hello

[Jay F]

Does anybody here know this song? It's huge on NRJ/France. Whenever I hear it I can't but think it would be big in the U.S if given a chance. It has an exceptional hook plus it has the dance-pop sound that dominates CHR right now. I have been meaning to post about this song for awhile but what pushed me over the edge is that I heard it in the new Trident gum TV commercial.

Massive hit that we've been talking about over on the Dance board

Check it out, the song's already become quite a big hit in Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. Seeing as how Martin is one France's leading Dance/House DJs and producers it's no surprise "Hello" has become a massive hit in France as well.

Song is also HUGE in Holland and Belgium. Sounds al LOT like Guetta so could be big in the US too. Nice tennis-video too

It's heard on Goom/Ultimate Radio. They've been trying to break it here in the US, but nobody terrestrial or satellite (20 on 20) has picked it up or played it. I guess we've all been too busy trying to get Mumford and Sons and Adele pass through legislation and congress to get airplay on CHR at the moment. Dragonette gonna have to wait.

All that rioting occurring in the Middle East at present is clearly due to the following:
1) The inclusion of 97.1 Amp Radio and other Rhythmic leaning stations on the CHR/Pop panel
2) The lack of support for Mumford & Sons on CHR/Pop radio
