Most acts look at ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" as a potential launching pad, but the introduction of the Fray's new single during a commercial break promoting the network's jumped-the-shark "Lost" on Nov. 20 represents a switcheroo: a TV event for fans to tune in to their first exposure of the Grammy Award-nominated quartet's sophomore effort (and then immediately purchase the song on iTunes). The table was neatly set with 2005 Billboard Hot 100 No. 8 hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and follow-up "How to Save a Life," which saturated pop culture in 2006, reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on the AC, adult top 40 and Hot Digital Songs charts. Piano-driven "You Found Me" serves a meatier rock main course, moving between verses from ballad to uptempo, with a chorus that is plenty sticky—but the song takes advantage of prophesied airplay with a complex, intelligent melodic design that darts in unexpected directions. A live performance Nov. 23 at the American Music Awards will further lock in interest for one of the few absolutes in first-quarter 2009. —Chuck Taylor
