Ahh I love this! I definitely now think this has the best potential at Hot AC, at least to start. Hopefully it can pick up some solid airplay!
Up to #96 on iTunes after being released late last night - so that's a good sign!

This is the best debut single by an American Idol alumnus since... "Jesus Takes the Wheel," maybe?

Does anyone know if this song is actually getting pushed to any specific formats? I couldn't find mention of it on any of the usual industry sites.

No news yet...I really hope it is pushed here, though. I hope so too. I think it's a great fit for Hot AC. I have this awful nagging feeling that this song isn't going to get an adds date anywhere. It's been released to iTunes & Haley is performing it on Idol this week, you'd think something would've been announced about radio. |

I have 2 not related comments on the subject:
1. Why they always have to smooth down great and original live vocals on studio tracks, this song doesn't show her original raw vocals sadly and the song sounds very mediocre to me.
2. What does it mean - going for adds - if any new act can "add" it's single it would be great, but it seems to me that this adding process involves some big money, why are there so few songs going for adds on CHR/pop, when on Alternative and especially Triple A, there are every week at least 10 songs going for adds(this week there are 16 songs going for adds on Triple A, why can't it be like this on pop or is this really such a big money business that only big companies can afford it, we need more variety on pop chart, more movement there...

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO SMASH.  This is the best debut single by an American Idol alumnus since... "Jesus Takes the Wheel," maybe? "Miss Independent" |

I don't know where it was after Idol but as of now it is #31! Hope it can maintain for a while and debut on the Hot 100

This is amazing! I just noticed that one of the co-writers and producer of this song is responsible for writing Kelly Clarkson's "Dark Side". :o

This got 8 Hot AC Adds this week! Good enough for 5th (tied) most added! I'd say that's a good start for a relative unknown to the format.

I wonder if they have a more pop followup single. Hopefully this will catch some fire on Hot AC because I do like it a lot, but it feels really AC for an Interscope/ 19/ American Idol artists no? Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the AI past artists, but my impression is that they try to go pop or it just doesn't work. Anyone have better insight? I really like her.

I think the fact that she's not a winner might give her more flexibility.. Of the top of my head, Elliot Yamin was more AC than Pop and he managed but a single hit. |

Three adds this week bring it to 17 total, but it's not in the top 50 yet (and I don't have data below that, unfortunately). |

Top 40! :)
Hopefully it picks up its pace soon. This is way too good to linger.
