If more pop stations played this,it would be a big hit.

So my RCA contact got back to me, they are still watching Sparks very closely on HAC. If it can continue climbing on HAC we may actually see this move to POP by next month or more likely August if it happens.
Hey Josh,
Yes, definitely plans to hit pop with this record. Got to get it firmly set up at Hot AC, but we’re on our way! We’ll be working the album through the summer and into the Fall. We’ll be putting some more video content and remixes out over the next several weeks while radio continues to build. Hilary will also continue visiting stations and playing Sparks. More promo to follow from her in the summer.
Best, T

Best, Tthe incompetence of record labels never ceases to amaze me. a 6 month hot ac strategy before this even sees the light of day at pop and judging by its slow ascent i wouldn't quite say "it's on its way". lastly, "video content and remixes" are not quite game changers lol this will likely not go anywhere sadly.

It's nice to see it finally charted. It would be nicer if she could stay on the chart. So I'm going to email my RCA contact tomorrow, and ask straight up if there are any plans to push this to pop (I was last told that they wanted Sparks to sit comfortably on HAC before crossing over to POP) or if they are moving on to the next single. It's so disappointing, I thought this was going to be the first real era we actually hear Hilary on the radio. Why can't they give a fuk!? There is obviously interest, she stayed #1 for a couple of days on iTunes. In addition to what KissMyAxe said, please make sure to tell them Sparks still has potential (as there's obvious interest in Hilary) and it's all up to them to release it to Pop immediately and finally make it SMASH. I swear, there's something that's not clicking in their heads! WTF! Also, tell them to release My Kind as the second single if they plan on moving forward! ;) lol.. I made sure to say that I feel like Sparks still has potential to be a hit! So my RCA contact got back to me, they are still watching Sparks very closely on HAC. If it can continue climbing on HAC we may actually see this move to POP by next month or more likely August if it happens. Hey Josh,

Best, TI read this as: Hey Josh, We don't know what the hell we're doing. Best, T lmao basically I will never forgive them for not sending this to POP from the get go. I kind of understand what they were trying to do with hac then once it does well on there, launch it on pop (where it would rise much quicker than hac, so they both were torwards the top at the same time) but that's something you do with an artist who has radio support and constantly in the spotlight, not one that even when she was uber famous didn't have radio support that's coming back from an 8 year hiatus

I'm from Boston and where the Top 40 station playing it (Kiss 108). I heard it today at about 3:40pm. It sounds amazing on the radio and I believe the station quickly announces it and she may do a tiny soundbite. She did perform at our annual Kiss Concert this summer.

Wish they had said what " firmly set up at Hot AC" means. Top 40? Top 20? That could take months of it does it at all.

Exactly why I completely agree with Austin when he said they don't know what the fuck they're doing. It'll take months and by then, the potential of this becoming a hit will be moot.

I'm so frustrated, even Hollywood Recs sends their songs top POP (aka Cool For The Summer) radio. WTF RCA.

Just notice that RCA also scrapped out Kelly's "Invincible". Really the worst label ever

Hopefully, something good will come of this on Pop, but I'm not holding my breath.

You know it's bad when you actually want Hollywood Records back as a label for Hilary .___________________________________.

Always painful to watch a song that could be a hit so incredibly mismanaged by a label. How does it make sense to them to make the tentative pop adds date so long after performance/video/album/general hype has died down? This could have had a top 20 or even top 15 peak. :/ Poor Hilary!

I don't understand how RCA got so bad at this kind of stuff. They handled Miley so well for her first two singles from Bangerz, I really expected the same for Hilary given the similar demographic. But RCA hasn't done anything good for their pop artists since "Adore You."

I hate to say it, but I want them to provide HAC with some major payola if they are serious with this route.

Hilary should be with Capitol or Interscope, Im pretty sure they would have perfectly managed this era for her and made her relevant again !!!
