I actually heard BIT twice on TV last night (not including the AGT performance)... they played it on ad for a new movie... I don't remember the title of it but it had something to do with "Bees" and then they played it at the end of whatever NBC was showing between 10 and 11 last night... so the label is definitely getting it out there. :) Its "The secret life of bees". Funny thing is, it stars Jhud and Alicia Keyes yet they have Leona singing on the advert. lol Yeah, that's it... I noticed Alicia in the promo ad too... I just happened to be channel surfing after the baseball playoff games last night and happened upon it. The more exposure for Leona, the better. :)

Funnily enough JHud has done a Walmart live session and in the interview part the first two artists she mentions when discussing the music she is listening to are Keys and Lewis.

i still don't love this song. why can't they rush FM out, i notice this week her album sales dropped by over 20%. BIT's helped them a little but FM could help them even more

There is no logic rushing Forgive Me out now when Better In Time is still going strong on US radio unlike some other songs around it. They have a video ready for Forgive Me so it's good to go when needed. I think ballads sell albums better than uptempos too personally but we'll see when Forgive Me is released.

Unfortunately no amount of promo is going to help this song on iTunes. It will remain a radio hit.
Forgive Me is a sort of song that should sell well for her. Depending on who's releasing lead singles in november it's her best bet for another HOT 100 top ten hit.

LOL I love how you're projecting your personal opinion onto the general population. You are of the public, not the public. ;)

In that case I know the public very well too and, by my understanding, they love the song. You can't just state that your opinion matches the public because there is no plausible way you can know this. Unless you have conducted a poll of people outside of his forum.

Leona was wonderful last night on AGT! She did pretty well. I like that she changed up the high note in the bridge.

She has a near +500 bullet and is nearing Top 5 on CHR, so I don't see why they should rush-release FM. BIT isn't done yet.
I still can't get over how similar her and Toni Braxton's vocal styling is. :O

I knew Z100 would end up spanking it to death ... it's so their cup of tea and a song that even though is not spectacular, you can hear it every hour but never get tired of it. I think Big Daddy's 3 heavy rotation songs at the moment, will be the Top 3 on pop radio in like 3 weeks from now! :)

I'm assuming Leona and P!nk are two of the heavy songs... Is Ne-Yo the third?
