My gut feeling tells me that this will get a second wind and start gaining again. Really hope you're right. Wouldn't hurt if it climbed a little to top 30-20 on iTunes too

My gut feeling tells me that this will get a second wind and start gaining again. Sigh. Has this sold 300k copies yet (despite having been discounted for a while)? I know Zedd is selling even worse but that song at least has passable callout scores. This? This isn't becoming the hit her label planed for it to be, and I really don't see another push sadly. :'(

Nobody Love = great start on radio, easy ride to top 20, sales low but raise after a deal, radio dies as sales not high enough, after radio is dead gets a big performance (BBMAs) which helps sales, but slips from lack of airplay
The exact same situation seems to be happening right now with Should've Been Us except radio doesn't seem to be dying as fast, and its the VMAs. Hopefully the performance is similar to the studio recording. She has no where near as much competition this time for attention, so hopefully this can help sales a lot, and turn around radio!

Performed on the VMAs, #17 on iTunes. Hopefully somehow radio turns around, but I doubt it.

I kinda thought Expensive was the obvious choice here...

She absolutely KILLED IT last night. Definitely one of the best performances, if not THE best. Hopefully it can pull a Ceelo Green and stop losing spins and get back up.

Even if this song (and album) don't turn around, I think people have taken notice now and will be checking for her.

She's set the stage for her next single to take off, assuming it's the one with Ed Sheeran. Since he's become a radio staple it will probably do really well. And then maybe an AMA's performance of that since they're both so good live!

I Was Made for Loving You #15 New Zealand (+16) #276 United States
Doesn't matter if she doesn't smash with this and NL. I Was Made for Loving You is going to smash. She should've performed it at the VMAs. It's so GP friendly. She should record a new album quick after this (hopefully last single from the album) and work on a more commercial era and make her more interesting, i can see her smashing like Ariana Grande.

That's why keeping the acapella outtro has been so smart.

She's far too talented to be watered down to appeal to the masses. She probably the most talented pop star since Lady Gaga. I don't need pussy poppin jams from her.

And second song in a row where her label plan the promo at a wrong timing. She is a great singer, her songs are catchy, there's really a push to radio, but frankly the big promo needs to be used when the song is not already dead on radio

I bought her album IMMEDIATELY after seeing her performance. The impact. She snatched the tracks out of my head.

Mm mm I really don't think her songs are that catchy tbh I've seen this on sale for several days, but I really don't like the song so I wouldn't get it even for free I liked NL better She does have great pipes though, but there's something wrong with her identity and that's becoming a bit distracting / disturbing to me. In that sense she's not Gaga at all ;) She put a great show last night, but this was more a Breakaway era Kelly Clarkson song than the Jordin Sparks' debut era style she's been selling so far. I liked the SBU rock version much better so maybe that's what she should've pursued. The live performances I've seen of her seem to be from her sister or a double. That's an issue to me. Again, I liked her performance a lot but when she got to the final outro I was like: enough gurl, I know you sang, but stop trying so hard for this little song. Anyway. I do hope she makes a good second album with her style. Make the transition similar to Kelly Clarkson and go all pop rock, guitar, belting, where you can feel more comfortable. Hopefully the label and management realizes this Dr. Jekyll and mr Hyde situation is making it harder for TK to become the IT girl she's poised to be

Literally had my mouth open during her performance yesterday. She MURDERED that stage.

Just watched the performance. I think this is my favorite live performance since Sia perofmrd Chandelier with the gay men choir on New York last year. This HAS to turn radio around. They should also discount the song again

I'm not surprised at ALL at her performance. I expected her to snatch wigs and burn edges. It's upsetting she's not getting the respect she deserves.

Heard this song today played as #5 on the "Hi 5 @ Noon" on 92 Pro FM Providence (a Cumulus station) - the only station in my area (including Boston) that has played both her singles regularly.

You don't need to make commercial / dance songs about "pussy poppin", a great example is her own song Expensive, which could also be a single but i doubt they will release a fourth single from the album? She's been getting a lot of promo though, i wouldn't be so surprised. Go Tori! United States #8 Should've Been Us #183 Nobody Love (coming for Gold) #226 I Was Made For Loving You (feat. Ed Sheeran) This will smash!!! SBU is coming for a top 40 peak on Hot 100 hopefully!
