This will be the biggest hit of her career. (Unless the album has a better song)

I really hope the relevancy of the new show brings it up. She's quite good on it, this could be a great crossover opportunity. I've always been such a huge fan (seen her 3 times live) - and always hoped she'd have more success.
Bring on the dance music Hilary.

I'm really surprised this is doing as well as it is without any real promo. It gives me hope that it might actually be a hit. She just needs to get her ass out there and promote it.

The sad thing is, last night they missed a good opportunity to play Sparks on or after the show to promote it, that would have really helped. I'm really surprised this is doing as well as it is without any real promo. It gives me hope that it might actually be a hit. She just needs to get her ass out there and promote it. Yeah I'm surprised as well, CTS and AAY were free falling hard the evening the released

Meant to post this yesterday but forgot. Purchased the track right away and been obsessed with it ever since. This is the song she should have released last summer instead of "Chasing the Sun". Would love for this to blow up and be the song of the summer but the way Radio sucks these days they will probably ignore it.

This is the song she should have released last summer instead of "Chasing the Sun". This song was recently recorded, I believe when she traveled to Sweden in the past couple months to record new songs. So actually, I think if Chasing The Sun and All About You would've been successful, we would've never got this gem because the album would've been released already. Chasing The Sun had to flop to give us Kylie Hilary, and now I can say that I'm so grateful!

It sounds like she's trying to be both Carly Rae Jepsen and Gwen Stefani in this song, except her voice isn't nearly as adorable as Carly's or as interesting as Gwen's, so it falls flat. I'm not a fan of the whistling either, as it comes across as a forced attempt to make the chorus more catchy.

This sounds like the logical next stop from Dignity, but it also sounds like it should have been released in 2010-2011. And have been sung by someone else too, but that was the case with Dignity too.

The song is clearly a hit and the public gave it a warm welcome on iTunes. Now I hope the radio will support her this time.

This is still holding up so well on iTunes. It's hanging on at #62, and still continues to get a few green updates within the red updates. I'm fairly certain the other two singles were out of the top 100 or at least close to doing so at this point. Its already beating my expectations on digital sales. Hopefully that will translate onto radio soon.

This video better be amazing, I hope RCA doesn't screw this up. If the video is high concept and awesome, there might be a chance this could be her biggest hit. I'm being optimistic!

When the hell is RCA sending this to radio? I don't get their game plan of holding off radio release when it needs one ASAP!

This is how she described the vide, exactly something I was picturing so I'm pretty excited! Hilary on Sparks music video: "The theme is kind of going with my hair colour, fun bright pops of colour, sleek and a little weird."
"There is a very high concept going on right now, but it will be a really big surprise when I drop it."
When the hell is RCA sending this to radio? I don't get their game plan of holding off radio release when it needs one ASAP! A source from RCA actually told me the song was being set up at radio on the 7th when it was released. It needs a TOP 40M date asap

Yeah, it needs a TOP 40M date ASAP. I don't think it'll go far on Hot AC unless it was also released to TOP 40M.

I saw her promoting Younger on one of the day time shows last week and her hair is not a nice color. If she wants blue hair, she needs to commit and go BLUE.

I wish she could pick up on all the jokes going around the internet about her running for president and turn that into promo for this song somehow.

Because "You Ruin Me" was after "Sparks," and it would make sense for both of those to be in that kind of situation.
