RCA Records confirmed today that there are no plans to drop Kris and that once The Vision of Love achieves success on HAC, they will send the song to other formats (Pop). With the song climbing at a decent pace atm (a +90 Bullet) and Kris currently on a small radio tour, I thought I'd compile the radio stations with Kris' song in their request lists for his fans to request from. The list is as follows: Starters: KTLG-FM - The Beach 96.5 - Corpus Christi, TX - 78478 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KLTG-FMKPSI-FM - Mix 100.5 - Palm Springs, CA - 92292 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KPSI-FMKWYE-FM - Y101 - Fresno, CA - 93737 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KWYE-FMXM Satellite Radio - Hot AC - Enter ANY Zip Code www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=DGHA-FMKMXB-FM - Mix 94.1 - Las Vegas, NV - 89193 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KMXB-FMWTSS-FM - Star 102.5 - Buffalo, NY - 14241 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=WTSS-FMKCIX-FM - Mix 106 - Boise, ID - 83733 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KCIX-FMKZZU-FM - 92.9 ZZU - Spokane, WA - 99299 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KZZU-FMKLLY-FM - Kelly 95.3 - Bakersfield, CA - 93383 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KLLY-FMWIAD-FM - 94.7 Fresh FM - Washington, DC - 20002 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=WIAD-FMKEZR-FM - Mix 106.5 - San Jose, TX - 95151 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KEZR-FMKZZO-FM - Now 100.5 - Sacramento, CA - 94249 www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?format=A2&c_let=KZZO-FMWINK-FM - 96.9 WINK-FM - Ft.

On HAC, requests from fans are taken into account more than CHR/Pop stations. Lastly, after a dry spell in adds, the song received three adds in the last week from two of the "starters." Let's do this guys! Obviously RCA isn't moving on from TVOL yet, so let's help it!

RCA Records confirmed today that there are no plans to drop Kris and that once The Vision of Love achieves success on HAC, they will send the song to other formats (Pop). Just curious. I've been following a band for many years and I have never seen the label confirm anything in regards to the band's contract/status on the label, etc. However, this isn't the first time that I've seen a similiar statement to the one above in regards to AI contestants. Does the label just randomly post this stuff on the artists' website? Do they make a statement in a press release? Honestly, how do you guys get this information?

Well I don't really care for any other AI contestants except for Carrie, so I don't know about the others. Today Kris stopped by a HAC radio station for an interview in which he talked about the supposed AI diss, and the radio host himself spoke to executives from RCA where they confirmed this: Here's the link for that: www.hot995.com/pages/toby.html?article=10159057#ixzz1wHRY1xlo

HAC 30 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 467 377 90 1.178 +14 Spins -1 Bullet -0.013 AI HAC 31 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 473 393 80 1.145 +6 Spins -10 Bullet -0.033 AI The two New York stations & Chicago played the song 1 or 2 spins less than last week, which is why there's a bigger AI decrease than there would normally be. TVOL fell down one spot, thanks to Katy's big increase, which put Wide Awake ahead of Kris by one spin. The +80 Bullet maintains it's bullet higher than the 8 songs ahead of him except Wide Awake. Let's get to requesting guys!

I was wondering why the main Pop station (Channel 93.3) didn't have this song on their playlist. Voted for it!

2009 winner Kris Allen sees his sophomore set, "Thank You Camellia," debut at No. 26 with 17,000.

Proud of Kris regardless. His album is fantastic.

Gave the album a couple more listens. Very solid. Would love to see "My Weakness" as the 2nd single and "Blindfolded" as the 3rd. Here are my top 5 tracks at the moment:
1. My Weakness 2. Blindfolded 3. Better With You 4. The Vision Of Love 5. Monster
What's in your top 5?

I actually love how the album starts, cause it opens with a great song, followed by a better song, which is followed by an even better song

HAC 31 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 473 393 80 1.145 +6 Spins -10 Bullet -0.033 AI HAC 33 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 480 413 67 1.118 +7 Spins -13 Bullet -0.027 AI Sirius played the song 6 spins less than last week, while the Chicago and NY stations continue to lessen the airplay at a slow pace, making the AI fall. If anything, for the next day or two, I'd focus requesting efforts on those two stations. Later on I'll find the phone numbers for requesting on both their stations, as that may help airplay over online. Meanwhile, Ellie Goulding's song comes out of nowhere with a +189 bullet over last week and passes both Kris and Haley. No doubt grabbing spins from Matt Nathanson and Taylot Swift's rapidly declining songs. Also note Kris received a +20 spin increase this time last week, thanks to his short promotional tour for the album.

1 - Monster 2 - My Weakness 3 - Blindfolded 4 - Better With You 5 - Out Alive As much as I want Monster as a single, My Weakness is one that I think will sell the album. That is way more important. Oh franklin. Our top two perfection.

I love the whole album (well, maybe not Loves Me Not ), but my top five favorites: 1) Monster 2) Blindfolded 3) Rooftops 4) My Weakness 5) Teach Me How Love Goes Single choices: 1) My Weakness 2) Better With You 3) Rooftops 4) Monster 5) Teach Me How Love Goes Hoping TVOL makes T20 at least, then I would move on to My Weakness. RCA needs to promote this album, it's so good. Kris is the perfect new artist to fill the gaping hole in the male pop/rock category on radio.

My Weakness MUST be the next single. Anything else could be bad for the album. It's such a good song, it's so catchy, the PERFECT summer song for any playlist. It just rocks. Oh my god. I usually hate songs with whistling in it but it works haha. It's so funny that nearly all of us agree that the second single needs to be My Weakness.
I dunno. I'm just frustrated that no one seems to know that this album even exists. It is SO good. SO SO SO good. Much better than his debut. His debut I really only liked 2-4 of the songs. On this album, the first half of the tracks are SOLID, all single worthy, and the last half has decent tracks, a few single worthy. It's a perfect mix of radio friendly with just straight up good music.

Agreed with all on My Weakness. It's fantastic.
Is there any love for Turn The Pages? It sounds like it could have been written by The Matrix, it's got that earworm chorus.

Favorites:

Switch the first two and you got my ideal singles order too.

The game is over for him. He made a great album, I doubt he's over. And he has a 'Hey Soul Sister' kind of smash hit in his hands if they release My Weakness and promote it how it should be promoted.

I don't know why anyone is surprised by how The Vision of Love is performing on HAC. Kris' last album came out in 2009. LLWD peaked about 4-5 months later. The Truth wasn't sent out until nearly 3 months after that and was honestly not a good follow-up single. He hadn't released a single in over a year and a half before TVOL.
It's not always about quality of a single, and certainly not about a prior success on the chart. When you've taken as long of a break as Kris has from radio, with only one real hit, of course it's a struggle. The fact that the label has only targeted the song towards HAC, but hasn't really pushed it, doesn't really help either.

HAC 33 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 480 413 67 1.118 +7 Spins -13 Bullet -0.027 AI HAC 31 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 495 419 76 1.199 +15 Spins +9 Bullet +0.081 AI Finally a decent update! Maybe the requesting is starting to pay off. There was a huge increase in AI, a Las Vegas radio station is to blame for that, for playing the song 16 more times this week than the period last. Keep requesting! There's hope for this yet. There are three songs falling below it at a rapid pace.

I've just been requesting at random stations throughout the day haha. Anything to get a few extra spins!
My Weakness totally reminds me of "Hey Soul Sister".... I had been trying to make that connection for a while. Thanks circadian! I knew I kept wanting to compare it. That song was EVERYWHERE. This song has such a similar feel-good feel to it.
