I guess it's back to flopping. This song simply wasn't a good record so people pretended like this song doesn't exist. If it was good radio would've jumped on it regardless. Radio doesn't want it.

Not sure where to start with this post, but: 1. Who's pretending like this song doesn't exist ? ??? 2. Radio only "jumps on" "good" songs then ? As subjective as "good" is, it seems you truly believe that "good" songs always become hits.

LMD would undoubtedly kill whatever is left in this era. Horrible, horrible single choice. IFY just doesnt have that infectious chorus and melody/sound that LMD has. . . . LMD's chorus is dated, uneventful and s**tty. The verses > LMD is life. And would be a multi week #1 smash. Just sayin'.

"Dark Side" is still one of her best singles ever. Its underperformance isn't going to change that.

Kelly stated the fourth single is between I Forgive You and You Love Me a while back. It doesn't sound like Let Me Down is a contender for the fourth single.

If so it's IFY or bust. YLM would be another DS mistake. My Kelly stanhood might be hinging on LMD seeing a release though. It's just too perfect.

The fact that KC isn't even doing LMD at most of her current concert dates pretty much confirms that it won't be a single. Surely go to God they would be smart enough to release IFY and NOT YLM.

Kelly already said they pushed back their plans a bit to see what happens with this, so they're all aware of what's going on. But she's on tour, the album is going to sell a million, and RCA has three big names starting eras this fall...Kelly's fourth single can't and shouldn't be their main concern. If they have plans for a re-release after all, that's a different story, but otherwise I'd expect RCA to focus on Pink, Kesha, and Christina in terms of promo and radio work, and Kelly and her team will be focusing on getting the new album together. Again, a re-release (which I'm still hoping for) would change this dynamic, but until we know that's true, I expect "I Forgive You" or "You Love Me" to be sent out sometime in October with little push as team Kelly readies for album #6 in 2013 with a Darkchild track she's thrilled about and another pair of Kurstin gems already confirmed to have been cut for the album.

So I finally heard this on my pop station the other day. Lol. It surprised me since my station is so heavily rhythmic, but it was a nice surprise.

23 22 KELLY CLARKSON Dark Side 3445 3404 41 17.447 +24 Spins -21 Bullet +0.087 Audience I used to think that this song was an awesome album track, but shouldn't be a single. Then I thought it should be the 4th single, thinking that following two smashes and in the fall it would be ok. Then it was released and I thought it was a flop, but sill liked the song. Now, I hate it for all time and wish it had never existed.

I understand Kelly's desire to wait it out, considering that she's on tour, she's recording, and she has some new priorities and I don't really feel the right to comment on that, but this song just isn't going anywhere with its updates right now. Positive for a few days, negative for a few days-- it's not a sign that radio is interested. I love the song, I expected it to perform better, but in that recent interview Kelly exaggerated the extent to which "Stronger" is the problem. I just think it didn't catch on. I'll give it a few more days before I start preaching the end of the song's run but this just doesn't look all that promising.

^Yeah, time to move on. "I Forgive You" was more instant and would've been big out of the gate and this would've done well around now...whereas I can't really see "I Forgive You" doing much now. Maybe the next single should be something from the re-release.

I can't believe at one point I was predicting this cd would go at least 5 and maybe 6 singles deep and now I am thinking we may not even get a fourth single.
I am sure they will heave something out eventually and give it no support :/

She needs a new single for international market. I'll say go with IFY.

Once again Dark Side performs better on iTunes during the weekend than it did during the week. It's strange that it happens that way just about every week lately. The gain in audience impressions is nice.
