Today's HAC update:
KLLC - 12 spins (+2, ranked #4) WBZZ - 7 spins (+0, ranked #25) WGER - 6 spins (+2, ranked #142) KBIG - 3 spins (+0, ranked #2)
28 spins (+4) with 0.147 audience.
Great to see such strong support from KLLC already! #625 on US iTunes. Hopefully once airplay kicks in next week and promo and the eventual video release, we'll see it go top 200 on US itunes at least. ^_^

Wish there was some glimmer of hope for a VMA performance. Guess she's been away too long for that though.

Today's HAC update:
KLLC - 14 spins (+2, ranked #4) WBZZ - 7 spins (+0, ranked #25) WGER - 7 spins (+1, ranked #142) KBIG - 3 spins (+0, ranked #2)
31 spins (+3) with 0.160 Audience. Great to see the song rising on US iTunes as well, up to #509 and rising.
Also, "Thunder" has 3 adds so far on HAC which is a good sign. Will hopefully get 10+ by the time all the stations have reported in about 2-3 hours time!
Edit: Now up to 4 adds on HAC.
Edit 2: Tied for most added on HAC this week with 15:
KGFM-FM - Ranked #77 KLLC-FM - Ranked #4 KLTG-FM - Ranked #110 KMYI-FM - Ranked #17 KOSO-FM - Ranked #118 KPEK-FM - Ranked #68 KZMG-FM - Ranked #100 WBZZ-FM - Ranked #25 WCDA-FM - Ranked #102 WDVI-FM - Ranked #58 WGYL-FM - Ranked #98 WMMX-FM - Ranked #64 WRMF-FM - Ranked #48 WSJO-FM - Ranked #147 WWZY-FM - Ranked #53
A good amount of decently ranked stations, including the ranked #4! Exciting! Shouldn't have too much issue going top 50 on HAC in a week or so.

3 Top 10 stations are now spinning this! Great to see the song continue to climb on US iTunes. Now up to #457! Leona will be visiting VH1 tomorrow, so the video might premiere there, if not it should be released soon.
Also, Leona's acoustic performances have been amazing and her latest one is my favourite yet!
Sing it Leona!

That chorus is tragic, given the fact that it is her re-introduction to American radio. I know the subject matter is about something else but...the jokes write themselves. That said, thank you Leona for making an excellent song. I'm feeling this pretty hardcore. It reminds me of Ella Henderson.

She kind of sounds like Emeli Sande in this, I love the second verse!

Today's HAC update:
KLLC - 14 spins (-1, ranked #4) WGER - 10 spins (+1, ranked #142)* WBZZ - 7 spins (+0, ranked #25)* WSGL - 8 spins (+2, ranked #61) KBIG - 5 spins (+1, ranked #2)* WIAD - 6 spins (+3, ranked #7) WMMX - 4 spins (+2, ranked #64) KOSO - 4 spins (+2, ranked ##118) KZMG - 2 spins (new, ranked #100) KMYI - 2 spins (new, ranked #17) WLHT - 2 spins (new, ranked #69) KCIX - 2 spins (new, ranked #100) WSJO - 2 spins (new, ranked #147)
46 spins (68*) . * I couldn't get data for those stations.
Based on all access, there is a total of 18 stations playing the song and its so far it's had at least 56 more spins this week than last week. I think it'll break the top 50 on HAC radio by mid next week. Once it does it'll be much easier to track how it's doing!
Also, Leona performed the song on Live! With Kelly & Michael this morning:
She gave a good performance and I loved her vocals at the end! #505 on US iTunes and rising (was #780ish before the performance).

Great update today - the ranked #5 starting to support the song too! The song is being spun on 22 stations and has has 86 more spins this week so far than last week. At this rate, it'll enter the top 50 by early next week! Hope it'll be put under cool new music for Top 40 radio soon. #787 on iTunes.

It current has 1 add so far this week too: hitsdailydouble.com/mediabase...details&fmt=A2It looks likely that it'll enter the top 50 by Monday/Tuesday! Currently out of the Top 1500 unfortunately, but hopefully it'll re-enter soon. The Behind The Scenes for the video was uploaded on Leona's vevo: Should be out very soon, can't wait!

Video looks like it will be good! I love those kinds of shadowy effects. Similar to the "Run" video.

Shouldn't have much issue going top 40 there at least! The video should be released this week and I hope we'll get a date for it to go for adds on Top 40 radio soon.

The chorus is awful. This is the best they could do as a lead single? That is disappointing, she is way too good for this.

I just heard this on KMYI the other day and I like this a lot better than FUMF. Was that not her lead single?

Did they get a bad reception from "Fire Under My feet"? Didn't they use it in a commercial here in the US? In my opinion "Thunder" has somewhat a similar sound to "Fire Under My Feet".

I think one of the problems with branding Leona Lewis - because she is a beautiful woman and it should be easier - is she is just so forgettable. Her interviews are never interesting. U end up rooting for the people u really like. I think it's why Adele worked so well. She was so f**king likeable. Leona needs to find her personality in the media and press. She has the voice that's for sure. I feel the same way about Ella Henderson.

I'm not sure, but it flopped everywhere it was released so not surprised they didn't send it to be the US lead single. HAC update: 72 43 LEONA LEWIS Thunder 241 54 187 0.603 +32 Spins +20 Bullet +0.066 Audience Shouldn't have much trouble making the top 40 of HAC in the coming days.

leona should have released another album between the first one and the second one. I have a 12 track compilation which is very similar in style to the first album, its a mix between ballads and uptempos and her voice sounds amazing. if they released that even 9 months after Spirit it would have smashed in the UK. strike while the iron was hot. I liked her change of approach on her second album but they gave up on it too early. when you come back with a different sound you have to stand behind it, believe in it and promote the hell out of it. They just gave up on that record IMO. Interested to see how the new stuff sells for her after the disappointment of glassheart.

This song bums me out a bit because I actually think the potential is finally there for this to be her first US hit in ages. But it doesn't fully realize that potential though. The production is a bit lazy and that chorus is begging to be a massive smack-you-upside-your head kind of affair. Yet instead it comes at you with like a 6 out of 10 power level. Her enunciation on the chorus is also awful. Hopefully this still does something, but I think this needed more tweaking from the version we got.

Umm, why do they have "Fire Under My Feet" in the "Hot Tracks" section at ITunes and not this. It's not like this song is getting so much airplay so far that people are going to go looking for it.

It's #5 in the dance/club chart and it's a new remix that's been put up. I think they should use that promo for "Thunder" though.

I didn't realize it was for a new Dance mix but still I would have used the promo for "Thunder" like you said. I know it's nice to get a dance hit on the club chart for bragging rights but that chart doesn't mean all that much lol. Maybe that sounds a little harsh but there's plenty of songs on there that hardly get played in the clubs. LoL

There's quite a few songs falling ahead of it, so I think if it keeps gaining like it is, it shouldn't have much issue going at least top 30 on HAC. Hoping the adds date for top 40 will be put up soon with the song almost top 40 on HAC.
