Looking at Crush really isn't going to be helpful for this song. There are way too many differences in how they started. They're different songs released at different times on a different chr chart. SBL shouldn't be expected to act like Crush since Crush's start was an anomaly.

Yes. It's impossible to compare. Crush premiered on z100 and only over a week after that was released on itunes, right?
z100 was on it from day one and the song just kept going up. It had good enough radio play for a new song when it went on sale.
They're doing different with this one. I wonder why they didn't do it like Crush though.
If he doesn't go on z100 (I'm still waiting for that to happen) this one will build slower.

It's not like David is a big name and it's been a while since he's released anything. (not counting the Christmas album) #35-30 on itunes is pretty good for him considering it was just released to itunes yesterday and not many people have heard it yet. |

^ But whats going on with radio? Does it need an adds date or soemthing? Whagt are they waiting for? Th song has been out for weeks, no add date? And then they released it to itunes when it has no airplay at all? Seems like a sketchy plan to me.

And on top of that they released the song on David's fansite a week ago too so the itunes sales now are split since most of the fans already bought it. |

The add date for some reason is Aug 2.
I only provided the Crush chart because I know Crush sales peaked the first week and then dropped and took a while to come back up. Of course all hardcore fans buy on the first day, and Crush had the huge bonus of David being just off Idol and Z100 playing it the first time, so when we heard it many others were hearing it new at the same time. This single is certainly bound to be different.
Clarkson - Jive didn't start selling David's single or album preorders until yesterday, I think in early afternoon Eastern time. They originally said July 13 but then changed that weeks ago to the same day as iTunes. But yeah - a lot of people were waiting for the official site sales to go live because every album preorder included a free instant download of the single so that probably hurt single sales at iTunes and Amazon.

Yeah the song technically has an add date of August 2 (or actually 3 for chr) but we only have that via a press release from last week. The add date on fmqb is wrong and there is no add date on All Access.
This is obviously going to build slower. I understand the album isn't too far off, but Jive has never really seemed to care about debut numbers or positions, just total sales. So I'm assuming they're going for a peak closer to Christmas to take advantage of teen/parent spending. There's almost no way this song is going to be where people expect it should be by the time the album is released.

Ahh okay thanks for the explanation. I guess it's good that they didn't put it up for sale last week, but giving it away for free is gonna hurt even more. I think anyone pre-ordering the album was gonna buy the album even if they didn't get the track free so I feel like it's wasted. |

^^ I think the "free" download still counts for sales, just that people don't know they're buying it because it's added into the price of the pre-order. But yeah, the song started stalling on iTunes pretty much the moment the pre-order went up, meaning that fans that might have bought it on iTunes went and bought it on his website instead b/c of the pre-order. I really don't like that strategy. I would rather have kept it an iTunes exclusive for one week so maybe the song would have better ad placement. But since Sony makes more money per download if they sell the song rather than iTunes, and they wanted people to pre-order the album, they went in this particular direction. By the way, there are google ads popping up now for his album pre-order today. One of them says, "The Other Side of Down, feat. the hit single Something 'Bout Love." Oh, Jive you better make good on that spin. lol. ETA: I listened to the download of SBL I got from Sony and it is MUCH better quality than the iTunes download. A lot less "noise" and cleaner sounding production. iTunes kind of screwed up on the conversion to AAC. ETA2: Hollywood Reporter gave SBL a great review: www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/music-reviews/something-bout-love-1004104710.storyActually, I think that might be Billboard's review re-printed by Hollywood Reporter. |

I didn't really expect for the song to premiere on Z-100 because Jordin didn't get a premiere for her second album. So I thought maybe that was a one time thing for debut albums. I don't know what the strategy is for letting it leak so early before the adds date but I've decided I'm not going to worry about it. Ain't nothing I can do about it anyway. I'm just hoping for the best.

When asked, Sony explicitly said the free single downloads count towards sales. And I guess permanent sales because their 3 preorder versions all have the album as a CD so people will be getting the track again on the album. And the official shop album preorders are the only album preorders available yet so a lot of fans were waiting for the Sony store. Yeah it probably did hurt the iTunes and Amazon single sales (and make Sony more money for themselves, but what the heck - maybe they'll use it to help a good start for this single and album)

Well KUDD is on their second spin today. Looks like they are jumping in and starting to play it now.

This pic needs to be seen in every thread. I'll be very happy if this is the album cover   I hope SBL gets some airplay next week. Jive better step it up this era or I'll cut a bitch >:(......So far I'm not worry, I feel in my young bones that this song is going to SMASSHHH no matter what |

Mediabase forms are updated automatically and include all songs spinned in the last 7 days, they don't indicate on an add. Only KUDD officially added SBL so far. KKOB and WPRO are auto-adders so maybe they added it this week too though, I don't know. |
