It's a cute song. Too many words though. There's so little interest in Lee it's hard to predict how it will do. I guess 19 can payola....oops promo it into a decent HAC hit and maybe Top 20 on CHR (if they want to). Don't know if they'll want to.

I think its a little strange that 19/RCA did set a CHR add date first, especially since this is someone off Idol.

Don't forget that Adam Lambert got to CLOSE the AMA's as a new artist without even a Top 20 song. There's no reason why 19 can't push Lee's song into at least Top 20 via payola or whatever else is required.

Lee co-wrote this song(not exactly sure who with yet).
First Idol winner to co-write his first post Idol single since Kelly.

This is boring... just like the singer himself. Top 50 at best.

Still not listed and hasn't reached 5 spins yet probably.

If you have access to the custom reports site on the mediabase add chart, you can see the spin activity for any song you add to your personal list. I checked on Sweet Serendipity. It has gotten 3 spins from monitored stations so far this week (i.e., in last 7 days -- NOT including today) -- 2 spins from Hot AC station in Ft. Myers, FL and 1 from Hot AC station in Trenton, NJ

There's no reason why 19 can't push Lee's song into at least Top 20 via payola or whatever else is required. Adam had a lot of hype/buzz that Lee doesn't. So it's a lot easier to use payola when you have that on your side. I don't think Adam is a good comparison for Lee in terms of what 19 can do for an Idol. LOL This is boring... just like the singer himself. Top 50 at best. Just your opinion. A lot of people have that opinion actually.

Since they're not quoting someone, that seems like an obvious assumption.
I think for this to go anywhere close to top 20 it will need a lot of P word. dude doesn't have buzz, the song just isn't that memorable or a stand out and well, it got a KIIS premiere and apparently has yet to get a spin on chr. can't be a good sign.

It's still a while until the add date. It is way too early to judge whether this song is memorable or not.

It premiered on radio, it doesn't need an add date to be played. I'm not talking about exploding, but at least getting interest from a few radio stations. The moment a song is out, like this one is, it's meant to be played. Well, it's not memorable to me. I've listened to it a few times and can't sing one sentence.

I remember seeing this type of concern when Kris Allen released LLWD, and stations didn't play it or at least put it into power rotation the very next day, and especially when Z100 didn't start to play it right away. Lee is not Rihanna, Gaga or any other established artist who is going to get his or her song played the day that it is released. Just like stations did with Adam Lambert's IIHY, they are going to treat it like they do other new songs, only playing it at certain times, giving it test spins, and waiting to see how people in other markets respond to it before they play it.

I could be wrong, but I actually think LLWD got plays after it premiered. Like I said, not talking about power rotations, heck, maybe not even the kindo play Crush had when it premiered (to go back to a song in the same situations) but at least a couple of spins. It's not that it can't get better later, but it shows the absolute lack of interest in Lee and his music.

just heard this.
eh, on the fence with this one. Too many words, it's too jumbled together. Its an ok song, i guess. It's not gonna put him on the map or anything, but it could put a dent on HAC. But i wouldn't get too hopeful for this one to outpeak LLWD on CHR, cuz i really doubt that's gonna happen.
I'm curious about Crystal tho.

there is a twitter site that is evidently tracking the spins for this song -- and it is coming up with more stuff than what I saw on the mediabase site.
don't know how they are getting the info, but here is the twitter site:

I am a bit confused about RCA plans for this song.
They have pushed Lee's pop side to the max for this song to the extend of giving it an electro sound, but so far have only given an HAC adds date. ???

Not a horrible song but it's rather wordy in the chorus and there has been a dwindling interest in American Idol, though nobody bothered to tell Glambert that.

Hmm, considering that Glambert's numbers are well below previous Idol contestants, I think he figured it out. On topic, it's about the song and not AI, obviously. People aren't going to check the song out or play it just because Lee is from AI, but the vast majority of people aren't going to ignore it if they like it just because Lee was on American Idol.
