A reliable source or just assumptions? My RCA contact said this will launch to pop once sitting comfortably on HAC it was on here actually There are no plans to send it to pop at the moment. The last thing anyone knows for certain is "it will be once it gains traction on hot AC," which looking at today's update, it looks like that's not going to happen.

i heard this is supposed to impact pop stations in August.. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not. A reliable source or just assumptions? My RCA contact said this will launch to pop once sitting comfortably on HAC Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen. It has been falling for the last few days. Oh well, all I will be hoping at this point that we'll get a second single in the fall or something.

I guess we are all giving up on Sparks then, sad this could have been her biggest hit.

So sad that this never took off in the way it absolutely should have. Goddamn RCA. At least the album is excellent.

what is it with this girl always getting screwed over with getting Pop Airplay? even back when her album "Metamorphosis" was released "So Yesterday" and "Come Clean" only got minimal attention as far as i remember. what is it about her that Radio and Record labels dont see any potential? id say its because shes a former Disney star but so are Miley, Selena and Demi and they are everywhere!! poor Hilary.. if anything she was one of the best to come from Disney into the mainstream music scene! in a perfect world "Sparks" would have at least been a Top 10 Pop Hit!

This should've been a hit. I can't believe that they completely botched this. If "All About You" could make a dent in CHR, this surely could've done far better given a real push.

You have to remember in those days (lmfao im old) she was a CURRENT Disney star and back then she was the first one from Disney to explode and RD/PDs are like "why would we play you when A. you're Disney and B. Disney promotes the fuck outta you already because Disney is Disney, so we'll give someone who doesn't any promo a spot on our playlists..."

Not only that, but she came out at a time when all pop radio played was urban music and a few rocky tracks

So, that’s it then? There’s no hope for this song anymore? What a completely pointless waste of a potential smash hit.

Well, 'Come Clean' and 'So Yesterday' did reach the Top 10 and Top 15, respectively, on pop radio, so it's not like she got zero airplay back then. The former, in particular, seemed pretty huge at the time; I remember hearing it a lot. But aside from those two songs, she's never peaked higher than #27 ('Fly' and 'With Love'), which is fucking depressing. I'm really hoping they push (and I mean push) another single this fall. The title track would be perfect.

Their biggest mistake of the era was definitely releasing Chasing The Sun when she had a HUGE buzz. If they went ahead with All About You in the fall, it'd have done much better and Sparks would've been climbing the charts atm. Their other big mistake was sending this to only HAC. What the fuck were they thinking? This is strictly a POP song. I'd be fine with the plan if they also sent it to Pop too but they never did and it's getting obvious that it won't be happening any time soon.
If this continue to lose spins in the next few days, I want them to completely move on to the second single. BUT push it to Pop, not HAC.

Since Sparks is decreasing over on HOT AC, this probably has no prayer now to come over to be played on Pop radio.

RCA is pretty much useless as a label IMO

hitmakaontharise - Because this single was never pushed to pop. Had it been, it likely would have done well. There are also much better single choices than this on the album. wonderstruck94 - No, "Chasing the Sun" and "All About You" are from a project that was scrapped. They're not on the album. "Sparks" is the lead single.

Sparks have been removed from Cool New Music from All Access. I guess they're going to officially stop pushing this to HAC now (like they really did anything tho...) Hopefully, they'll do something smarter next time because Sparks had a huge potential, especially on Pop and they totally blew it. Let's hope they don't do the same to the rest of material (i.e. My Kind, One In A Million, Confetti, and Breathe In Breathe Out) because they have potential on Pop! But only if there'll be more singles!
What is RCA's problem? Like doe...

Like other's have said I wonder if they even will push anything else?? Maybe they learned from their mistakes and will push a new single to CHR but I think their ship kind of sailed.... They would have to start from scratch all over again. Unless her label is "Really" supporting her, haven't they spent a good amount of money on this project already???

It looks like this has been taken off of Cool New Music for (HAC) is that sign they are moving on with a next single? Though it did have a new peak this week at #37

This amazing song may not have been given justice in the charts, but at least it will be remembered in Pop Danthology 2015! Even if it is only a small success. Sorry for the bump, just very happy about this and found it interesting to note
