Frankly, I think the only thing anybody can do to get this song to number one (at least in America) is to somehow go back in time and convince the band to rewrite, rename, and rerecord the song from scratch...otherwise, it's just not goin' down.
I've got nothing huge against the song, but it's just not possible in the country I despondently dwell in. The song just screams "NEVER EVER EVER PLAY ME!!!!! I'M UNCOOL!!!!!"
It sucks, but it's true.

I think it would be very ambitious for OOTS to even get into the top fifty. U2 just don't play what the radio wants these days. And I don't want them to play what the radio wants either. 
I'll kill myself the day Bono starts wearing overly expensive jewellery and starts rapping about the Dublin "hoods."

You all are wasting your time. It's not a song by a rap artist, crappy R&B outfit or pop diva, so it will never, ever, ever be #1 in the U.S.
I think we should do something? Why do we must campaing for U2 when U2 don´t even listen to us?
I mean, 99% of fans here agree that Vertigo Tour should change, be more exciting, with a variety of setlists, etc. Just check fans dreamed setlists... far away from what U2 are playing every night. And those setlists aren´t impossible to play, just a little changes, less ballads, more rockers, surprises, etc
What happened with Acrobat and Dirty Day petitions started here?
it´s clear that the band won´t perform those songs
They should show more interest for fans feelings and petitions first
and all we would be happier with the band, so any "campaing" for U2 could be more honest and friendly.
Peace

Ponkine, I hear what you're saying, but I'd much rather have U2 do what THEY want, rather than have them do what other people tell them to do ... the last thing I'd want is a band that's bored with what they're doing.
Even if they lose me along the way as a fan, I'd still rather have them do what they want.

i'd love it to be #1 in Aus too.....but unless it's RnB or some other crap like that it won't be...unfortunately

this is all true, sadly.
get the stations that actually might play the crap out of it... i.e. adult alternative, adult contemporary and adult cheesy pop stations to stop playing 24 hours of christmas music every day from now until christmas and maybe you could crack the top 25.
other than that, your only hope is that it gets a lot of play on rock stations and teeny pop stations.
good luck with that.

if we all infiltrate a radio station in our local area, destroy all promo Cd and digital data of all the rap and hip hop and rb out there, and all the scott stapp and other shit rock music out there so that they can only play original, then we have it done.
i can take out every connecticut station.... whos with me?
for the record i think original is an amazing song, but U2 is never going to go to #1 with the society / musical tastes in the USA>

I've actually heard it getting more airplay here than I have with any of the other singles (excluding Vertigo).

Oooh good post.
We should do what we did with "Beautiful Day" -- we all targeted one radio station, in Los Angeles, that has a nightly top 5 most requested. We made it number one for months. L.A. is the center of the music industry, and there's no doubt that we made an impact.
Anyone remember which station that was? What's their contact info?

^ Ugh, I honestly have to put up with my roommate playing that stuff enough. I admit though, they were cool back when I was younger and have a fun live show.

i haven't heard it on the radio yet either... then again, i rarely listen to the radio.
the problem with a u2 song like this is that there isn't a station for it to make a dent on... it's not a real rock song, so it's not gonna get played on the mainstream rock stations that played the crap out of vertigo. bono doesn't have boobs, so it's not gonna be played on top 40 pop stations. and adult stations who might play it are playing jingle bells 50,000 times.
where's it gonna get played?
