THE GOOD "FIGHT"

Columbia breakout rookie Rachel Platten performed her anthem of empowerment “Flight Song” this morning on ABC’s GMA, with images projected to a jumbotron on Times Square. Watch it here. It was a huge look, literally and figuratively, for this newcomer, who’s featured in our latest New & Developing Artists review.

As Platten sang, women in the audience held up signs referencing issues they're "fighting" for. Watching this footage will tell you all you need to know about this song’s truly universal appeal—exemplified by the fact that “Fight Song” vaulted to #6 at iTunes immediately after the performance; it currently sits at #5. Make no mistake—this is a stone-cold smash.
