Kris was the headliner at the KISS 108 concert in Boston tonight and he absolutely KILLED it. So now we wait and see if that results in more spins from that station.

Good review. Kris's set list really couldn't be any worse.

Good review. Kris's set list really couldn't be any worse. It could include SMAYA and LIR and BWCU.

Kris and Train are both playing the Mixfest in San Antonio tonight. Pat Monahan joined Kris on stage to duet on The Truth. From the tweets, it sounds like it went over pretty well... tweetphoto.com/23720652

This song is doing okay. It is now #35 on the Hot AC chart and #118 on Pop. Last week those ranks were #46 and #180, respectively.
So far this morning it's gotten 5 new adds -- 4 Hot AC and 1 Top 40.

The Truth gets 13 Hot AC adds today -- 11 from monitored stations. Five of the 11 added stations spun TT 1 or 0 times last week -- and none of the 11 spun it more than 13 times last week. So pretty of room for growth here.

11 monitored and 2 unmonitored HAC adds is pretty good. The 6th highest among all the songs that got adds in HAC this week. Also, The Truth is getting exactly the same no. of adds each week as LLWD in its first 3 weeks. But I think it will exceed LLWD next week after Kris performs The Truth on Idol.
1 add in Pop (so far) - hoping for more on Tuesday.

I hope this fails big time. That's what they get for trying to steal from Train's success. It's a sleazy move. The song doesn't even need Pat. Sure he wrote it, but the average listener doesn't care about that.
At least Santana was old when he started whoring himself out to the flavors-of-the-month.

The Realest Ninja
Kris fans didn't want Pat on the song. And Kris isn't trying to steal from Pat's success -- first of all, he's sold more albums than Train has with their current release, and secondly, LLWD went Top 10 in 3 different formats. I know it wasn't Kris's idea to put Pat on the song -- either it was part of the contract when Pat gave him the song or the suits decided it would be a good idea
If you bothered to look at the charts, there are a TON of songs that "feature" a 2nd artist on them right now -- this seems to be the latest craze. Lady Gaga/Beyonce, B.oB./Hayley Williams, B.o.B/Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber on pretty much every song he releases with a bunch of hip-hop people, Katy Perry/Snoop Dogg, various people/Justin Timberlake, etc etc etc
So does that make all these people sleazy? Do you want all those songs to fail as well?

Meanwhile KBIG, the Hot AC station in L.A., spun The Truth last night. That station loves Kris -- and has had a lot of success with LLWD. So hopefully they will add The Truth this coming week...

Do you want all those songs to fail as well? Was Pat Monahan featured in anything 5 years ago? Nothing against Kris. But the record label can suck it. Kris Allen's sold more albums than Train this era because he won American Idol. And for no other reason. And actually, I hope all those all those other songs fail. I'm a Hot AC fan for a reason. I abhor what the Top 40 has become. Crap songs and unnecessary duets. Artists need to quit piggybacking of each other. Haven't you noticed how hip-hop artists can never seem to create a song by themselves? Where's the real talent? Oooooh, I want a turn on the soapbox! So $1.50 for a bottle of WATER? What's up with that?!!

Kris did a really nice performance of The Truth on the Idol finale tonight, and the result is that both the single and his album have gotten a big boost on iTunes. The Truth is at #246 overall (#92 pop) when it was out of the Top 1000 the other day, and the album, which had been in the 500's, is now up to #161 overall and #28 pop

Also KBIG, the Hot AC station is L.A. is now spinning The Truth. I just heard it on the radio a minute ago...and this is the 3rd straight day they've played it. So I bet they officially add it next week. That station loves Kris (they even had him do a week as a guest dj) and still plays LLWD a ton, so if they do add it they will likely put it into fairly heavy rotation pretty quickly.

I enjoyed Kris's performance of The Truth on the Idol finale tonight. It isn't my fav song off the album but it has a nice tune and people may like it the first time they hear it, which is important for a song on radio.

This is my local HAC station as well.
