I don't know who leaked the song, but it was great to hear a new cut from him. I will be the first in line to get this tune when it is "officially" released. I love it so much...it may be my newest ringtone as well. Great job E!!!! I absolutely love the song and the Elliott vocals.

It actually kind of reminds me of a mix between Bleeding Love and Crush for some reason. Anyway, I hope it makes his next cd. I think radio will like this one! I really, really like this song!

Guess sales don't always translate to chart position. I like this one. It seems similar but just misses on the hook for me.

Good for Elliott on WFY going platinum. It will be interesting to see if either of the above songs will be on his new album. I like “Bridge is Burning” but can’t stand “I Wish That”.

It does have a similar feel as 'wait for you'...I guess they are trying to tag onto the success of his first hit, which is not a bad idea. Great news about the platinum status...go little E! “that percussion sound that sounds like a record skipà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’I found that distracting, not enhancing, about this song.”

According to Ken Barnes: 517K. Since it's only selling a couple of hundred albums a week, that's probably where it will stay. Usually once they drop down that far they don't recover. The album has done well in Japan and other parts of Asia. So worldwide sales : 700K plus. Try to remember that these are sales for an indie artist. This is not somebody that had a million dollar budget and all the promo 19 and Sony can provide so those numbers are amazing. I like don't love the new song. However, it seems much more professionally produced than stuff from the first album. Elliott's second album will have the same problems as all Idol sophmore albums. Unless he can pull out another big Top 40 hit, his sales will show a major drop . Look at Kellie Pickler's sales (and she's all over TV, etc.) and you'll see the problem. Plus his indie status will really hurt as promo will be so tough to get. On the other hand, he's really got something unique vocally so maybe it'll all work out. Elliott and Archie are both guys who many people thought could never make it on Top 40 radio. I think their "look" and "vibe" played into that. But when you have the chops and the emotion, you can do it.So I'm not surprised that both have had their first single go platinum. (Crush will be there pretty soon, folks. No doubt.) “Where has his album ended up in total sales?”
