It's a good life with good friends and a good woman, so appreciate it and enjoy what you have.

My only problem with it is the word Legendary. I don't think it really fits with what the song is about and it sounds like it was just inserted into it because it sounds cool...
I agree with this. To me. he verses are coming from the perspective of the superiors. People tell you dont pick up what you can't lift, just get by, we're all the same etc the chorus is saying to look for, find and appreciate love that helps get through the 9-5 work lifestyle.

It resonates hard with me, which may be why the optimism is really grabbing me this time around. I've been working way too hard the last few months and my brown eyed wife is really getting me by.

According to Universal Japan Legendary is first on the radio charts.
I don't speak Japanese and I didn't find the chart, but here's the article: https://www.universal-music.co.jp/bo...ws/2024-03-27/
"This is the first time that Bon Jovi has topped the Western music charts since the release week of their album ``The Circle'' in 2009, and the first time that Bon Jovi has topped the charts in about 14 years." (Google Translate)

Rock music is still big enough on the radio in Japan. They have always love rock acts over there.

That's brilliant.

I've no idea what chart this is either, this sounds like Universal trying to pretend Bon Jovi has a number 1 there. The only chart that matters in Japan is the Oricon chart and Bon Jovi haven't had a hit song on it in a long time.

Their music isn't entirely to blame though, but because Bon Jovi have refused to do promo for their albums in Japan their chart impact has seriously diminished. Japanese people still access their music through TV performance and promo as opposed to radio although streaming and internet radio changed the game there as well.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

At least record company pays for these articles I guess.
So Legendary is No. 30 on Adult Pop Airplay and No. 18 on Adult Contemporary

EDIT: Also, it's No. 70 in Japan on "Billboard Japan Hot 100". Is that the main one?

And No. 1 on this (probably the same as already mentioned earlier in thread)

I hate to agree but I do. This is the general perception of who JBJ is now and what the new music represents.

Old, auto tune, don't get the song, outdated.

I think heard that it was album of the week, but I may have heard wrong. If it is, then surely they will be playing more songs off the album?
Is the single actually playlisted on BBC Radio 2? Aside from the premier I don't think I've heard it?

EDIT: Scatch that found it - it's on the A List and was record of the week (that changes tomorrow).

Yeah, it can all be true, but the way they're saying it is like bunch of irrelevant dudes group-mocking 60+ year old rocker from their sofas. I apologize if they are not "irrelevant", but generally I don't understand contemporary popularity of these podcasts with frustrated nobodies talking down on whoever is the topic with a beer in hand.

These kind of people and "critics" would also be fast to mock Jovi's KTF in era of Grunge, as well as putting ballads as singles as cringe, or whatever, you don't need special reason to appear "cool" to bash on this band in whatever era. Then, it would be random critic writer in weekly magazine, today I guess these kind of dudes. My view is that whatever Jovi released it would be mocked by these kind of a**holes. It doesn't change that Legendary is not very good. And Jon doesn't sing Prayer chorus since 1988 I think, so let's mock him for his singing throughout 90's also
