I love the song, but not as a first single.
I'm don't like that they're using the excuse that she's most well known in the U.S. for her ballads. It's like that because that's all they ever tried. And, imo, is also what led to her not having another hit. People just considered her a one trick pony, which she is not. They sat on her uptempos.

Big mistake not releasing I Got You. I hope I'm wrong though.

Big mistake not releasing I Got You. I hope I'm wrong though. I think "Thunder" is a good way to reintroduce her and can see it doing well on HAC. Hopefully it'll do decently on pop too and manage to become a modest hit. Really hoping they'll release "I Got You" as the second single as I think it'll follow "Thunder" really well, but also because it's a really strong single choice.

Cover art for the song. The video shoot has been completed and is currently being edited/put together so hopefully it'll be released soon. Leona has a radio tour starting tomorrow in the US and covers a bunch of pop stations so hopefully we'll get the impact date/adds date for the song for pop radio next week!

I love it!! Hoping for top 15 on pop, top 25 on Hot 100 (well, obviously #1 across the board, but being realistic)

Have we got a list of what stations she will be visitng? I know she's visiting the ranked #4 & #16 stations on pop & ranked #16 on HAC (all iHeartmedia stations). I assume the stations will tweet/Leona will tweet about upcoming visits and such. Really hoping they put the song on US iTunes and have an impact date for pop radio asap.

Looking good but I can't wait to see her perform on TV. She hasn't been around a while so the potential to really wow this generations audience is definitely there.

Leona's said her voice feels the strongest it's been so hoping she'll deliver some really great live performances on US TV! Also, Leona confirmed "Thunder" will be on US iTunes July 24th.

NOT her promoting Fire Under My Feet at the biggest gay bar in Chicago tomorrow. It's been released on the dance charts though and can see the remixes going well at a gay bar. Can't see people dancing much to "Thunder" haha. Just a one off slot. The rest of the time she'll be promoting "Thunder".

Leona was at Chicago B96 earlier (rank #3 on pop) and had an interview and performed an acoustic version of "Thunder".
Really enjoyed the interview and her performance was good. Her voice sounds great!

Leona's been giving great acoustic performances of the song on her radio tour! Also the video looks like it'll be released this friday to cooincide with the release on US iTunes. Another thing to note is that it got 1 pre-add on HAC today by KCIX the ranked #100 HAC station.

In terms of TV performances/interviews, there's nothing that's been annouced yet, but I'm sure she'll be doing quite a few closer to album release (September 11th).

This song is not a hit. I know that's not the point of releasing music and I like the song. But I'm not sure what def jam were thinking

"Thunder" has appeared on the taking off list on all access for HAC. Currently 2 stations have given it spins:
WBZZ - 7 spins (ranked #25) KLLC - 5 spins (ranked #4)
Most of the spins from these stations have been overnight spins, although KLLC have given it 2 evening spins. Things looking good so far and Leona's radio tour continues. Hopefully it'll do quite well on HAC to help spur spins from Top 40 stations.
