The Fray beats The Boss
It seems like only yesterday that KTCL DJs were cramming "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by an unsigned Denver act called The Fray down listeners' throats every 80 minutes. That oversaturation of the local airwaves—and the eventual double-platinum status of the band’s 2005 debut, How To Save A Life—was just the beginning: Yesterday, the band’s brand-new, self-titled album took the number-one position on the Billboard album chart after selling 179,000 copies in its first week of release. Let's not neglect to mention that the local band nudged none other than Bruce Springsteen out of the catbird seat to do it. Even if you think The Fray (and their syrupy new single, “You Found Me”) sounds like Coldplay with a head cold, the band’s Billboard coup has to make everyone in Denver just a little proud of their homegrown conquerors. Right?
YouTube has disabled embedding of the official music video for “You Found Me”—so here’s the annoying, Lost-sampling promo video instead:
