This song is going up for adds at Rhythmic. I think Blu will have another flop on her hands. She needs to concentrate on Europe, because I don't think she'll ever have success here with this album.

I think "Breathe" should have been at least a minor hit. It seems that a # of radio stations played the song but at different times. So the result was that it never moved up on the Hot 100 and fluctuated in the 80s and 90s

I think "Breathe" should have been a big hit. Great song, good video. "Sleep In The Middle" should have been bigger than it was as well. I'm not a big fan of this song though.
It seems radio is determined to make her a one-hit wonder for some reason.

I agree, "Breathe" was a hot hot song, it should have done much better on the Hot 100
It peaked at like #78 or something, or maybe #81, which is much lower than what it should have, the song was hot.
Im not sure about this new one, on Hitmakers it was the overwhelming choice as the "Pick to Click" this week, as the hottest new song out of the choices, it was up against Ludacris' "Stand Up" and some others, and it won with 44% of the vote while the closest others were at 20%
That surprised me a little bit...maybe it won't be such a big flop

I loved her first two singles off of this album but this one is total garbage.

"Sleep In The Middle" should have been bigger than it was as well. I agree... but "Sleep In The Middle" is the type of song that only fits on Urban AC... It just sounds too mature to get played on CHR/Pop and CHR/Rhythmic... you hardly hear those types of songs on the radio nowadays.
I must also agree that radio should have given her a bit more chance... but then if Blu really has that appeal, record sales should be able to show that. Sadly, her record sales seem to show that not too many people are interested in listening to her.

Okay, I just heard the song this morning... and I gotta say that this song is much better than "Breathe". She should have released this track as her first single instead of "Breathe".

Blu is massive in the UK she is getting more popular by the minute so as she maybe a flop in the US she is no flop all across Europe.
Radio stations must be stupid not to play her music.
'Breathe' is one of my favourite tracks of the year and this song is growing on me.

i disagree with you guys on the fate of blu's new single. i love it and think it's very catchy. definitely good enough to atleast do better than breathe. which is one of my favorite tracks off her cd. but for some reason it never really caught on. i think it could do well on pop too.
