In the circumstances that Dark Side does not perform well on the Canadian radio station that is currently playing it(I'm not sure how well it's doing currently), would RCA release another song instead? I'd think this is the reason we haven't heard anything official yet.

Everyone that's worried about this smash becoming a smash...relax & go on an Easter egg hunt...then comeback, take some deep breaths & toast a glass of wine (it IS Easter so why Not!) to yet another Top 10 for the Greatest AI winner of ALL TIME
This smash has got everything that the Top 40 demo are after...great lyrics catchy chorus & an issue that EVERY woman/girl can relate to!!! Being INSURCURE!!! That one right there is a GOLDMINE!!
I've never been in a woman's mind ever but...I would like to visit sometime. From my dealings they will completely relate to this smash on FIRST listen...then another 50 to 100 learning ALL the lyrics. It's just a perfect choice for chr right now & I can't wait to hear Kelly sing it LIVE...add this yesterday!

If that were the case, then the majority of Kelly's singles would have been pulled.

^I think he meant because RCA allegedly sent the song out to the radio station to "test the waters" to see how the public would react to it, so if their test market doesn't receive it well, they might pull it. I don't think we have to worry about that, though.

"Let Me Down", "You Can't Win", "Don't Be A Girl About It" or "The Sun Will Rise" SHOULD be released, IMO.

I have no predictions (never do), but I like this song and hope it's a hit. Also anxiously waiting for an adds date. It's almost mid-April now.

Last time I checked she was still #3 on Pop with 90 million in audience from there alone and top 15 on Itunes. I feel like they need to give it another few weeks before pushing out another single. It will help that Dark Side is so different from Stronger though. I could see stations playing both.

I'd think this is the reason we haven't heard anything official yet. Dark Side is doing fine at CHUM. Stronger is still #1 on their station and Dark Side hasn't been officially added yet, but they are playing it 3 to 4 times a day. Here's what they've played for Kelly in the last day: Apr 12 08:23 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 12 04:36 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 12 03:42 AM DARK SIDE KELLY CLARKSON Apr 12 02:35 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 12 12:38 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 09:10 PM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 05:44 PM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 04:13 PM DARK SIDE KELLY CLARKSON Apr 11 12:08 PM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 09:16 AM DARK SIDE KELLY CLARKSON Apr 11 06:07 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 04:18 AM MR. KNOW IT ALL » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 03:08 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 01:36 AM STRONGER » KELLY CLARKSON » 'Rate It' button 'Do More' button Apr 11 12:42 AM DARK SIDE KELLY CLARKSONwww.chumfm.com/music/playlist/playlist.aspx?type=1&sstr=KELLY%20CLARKSON&tf=0&df=1&tt=11&dt=0

CHUM wouldn't test a song by putting it into power rotation. Stop and think, people. They probably play it a few times a day and see what kind of feedback they get. I doubt the label cares, anyway, I have no doubt that they have already done their own research into whether DS is a viable single and it clearly is.

I'd think this is the reason we haven't heard anything official yet. Maybe they're changing it to Alone? I'm a much bigger fan of Addicted than I am Alone. I've mentioned Alone being a single maybe 5-8 times and people associate me with the song. I don't even consider it the most radio-friendly song on Stronger. That would be Don't Be A Girl About It. Just figured I'd ask. I had previously asked how well Dark Side is doing on the station playing it, and I didn't see any responses. I figured that may be a bad sign. If it's having some success they likely won't change the single.

I'm a much bigger fan of Addicted.. Maybe if that Canadian radio station doesn't play Dark Side very often, that might be the single.

Addicted is my favorite song of all time, and I still listen to it regularly. Some here associate me with Alone, but obviously if there is one of Kelly's songs I should be associated with, it would be Addicted.

I think it's time for this to at least have an adds date... Even if it isn't until early May, the lack of a date at all is starting to bother me.

They didn't rush (by any definition) the adds date for Stronger, so I've braced myself for a long wait for this, as well. I'm predicting like a May 15th adds date.

I hope this smashes. But I also hope Where Have You Been smashes, and Ke$ha's new song (assuming it's good and comes out anytime soon, she said it should be a summer-time song). So torn. :'(

RCA is notoriously slow with announcing adds dates. It didn't hurt WDKY because it was an undeniable smash and I don't think it'll hurt DS because WDKY could afford to die off a little more. The momentum will still be there. If I recall correctly, they also waited quite a long time to announce an adds date for Already Gone, and that was after a flop single. All in all, I'm not going to fret about this like I did for WDKY. It won't make or break this song's performance.

(well it sold 700k which is bad for a top 10 hit, but it's still considered a hit unlike Low and TTWLI. btw, any chance they're not releasing the single at all? The album isn't doing much saleswise so why waste money on promoting a new song.

If you think consistently selling 10,000-20,000 in the US alone each week is nothing for an album, you must only read about 21...

^ For real. Stronger is one of the most consistent albums out there right now. There's no way this album won't go platinum and then some.
