Why has this thread dissolved into another Adam vs.Kris thread? There are plenty of other places to debate that stuff.
Another decent update for Kris this morning. The song could be inside the Top 100 on the Pop chart before it even officially goes for adds. Heartless had another good update as well, and is now at #71!
156 105 KRIS ALLEN The Truth 37 14 23 0.212
It is at #36 on Hot AC chart. The new Sara Bareilles single jumped it yesterday. But should pass at least 1 song by time new official list comes out next Monday

You know, Idol is long over for these guys. It really doesn't matter who did or didn't win. Most people who aren't Idol fans have little clue about who finished where. If Kris puts out music that enough people want to listen to and buy, he'll be successful. If he doesn't, then he won't. Same thing with Adam. It's way too early in their careers to call either of them a flop or a star. So far, both have had some success, not enough to guarantee them a long career, but enough that they are both going out on tour this summer & enough that both will likely get a 2nd album

Meanwhile KBIG, the Hot AC station in L.A., spun The Truth last night. That station loves Kris -- and has had a lot of success with LLWD. So hopefully they will add The Truth this coming week...

The Realest Ninja
Kris fans didn't want Pat on the song. And Kris isn't trying to steal from Pat's success -- first of all, he's sold more albums than Train has with their current release, and secondly, LLWD went Top 10 in 3 different formats. I know it wasn't Kris's idea to put Pat on the song -- either it was part of the contract when Pat gave him the song or the suits decided it would be a good idea
If you bothered to look at the charts, there are a TON of songs that "feature" a 2nd artist on them right now -- this seems to be the latest craze. Lady Gaga/Beyonce, B.oB./Hayley Williams, B.o.B/Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber on pretty much every song he releases with a bunch of hip-hop people, Katy Perry/Snoop Dogg, various people/Justin Timberlake, etc etc etc
So does that make all these people sleazy? Do you want all those songs to fail as well?

I just saw an article on HDD that said something like 98,000 albums were released in 2009. Of those 98,000, only 2% sold more than 5000 copies. So Kris is doing WAY better than at least 98% of the people who put out albums last year...

The Truth gets 13 Hot AC adds today -- 11 from monitored stations. Five of the 11 added stations spun TT 1 or 0 times last week -- and none of the 11 spun it more than 13 times last week. So pretty of room for growth here.

This song is doing okay. It is now #35 on the Hot AC chart and #118 on Pop. Last week those ranks were #46 and #180, respectively.
So far this morning it's gotten 5 new adds -- 4 Hot AC and 1 Top 40.

Kris and Train are both playing the Mixfest in San Antonio tonight. Pat Monahan joined Kris on stage to duet on The Truth. From the tweets, it sounds like it went over pretty well... tweetphoto.com/23720652

LLWD entered the Top 30 playlist for KISS 108 on Christmas Week, 2009 -- and has stayed there ever since. As you can see, it entered the Top 20 18 weeks ago and just fell out this current week. It was in the Top 10 on the playlist for 10 straight weeks. I would define this as a very strong run on that station and the song being in power rotation. But maybe you have a different definition of these things...

The Boston Globe didn't even bother to review the concert. The Boston Herald's review focused mainly on Ke$ha. Kris was briefly mentioned in the article. Adam's set got 2 sentences. Big whoop.

Kris was the headliner at the KISS 108 concert in Boston tonight and he absolutely KILLED it. So now we wait and see if that results in more spins from that station.

Someone called OHP and specifically requested FYE -- which is probably why they spun it

I was watching the livestream of the KISS concert and Adam was great tonight. But it wouldn't be fair to say he was the only one who killed it. Kris was great as well, and so was The Script.
Adam got a lot of love in his introduction and from the crowd. Then he got to do the OHP interview. That show seems to have had a love/hate thing with Adam's fans, as I remember Adam having to tweet about not bombarding OHP with requests. So it's good to see that they spun several of his songs.

Kris was definitely the headliner for the KISS 108 concert -- and he absolutely killed it tonight. The djs were referring to him as the headliner all day yesterday and today, and he played the pre-concert private party Friday night -- which people were raving about how great he and his band were. When the dj came on stage right at the beginning of the concert, the first person he mentioned was Kris. And the commercials they ran on the livestream mentioned him and Adam more than any of the other acts.
I know LLWD was in the power rotation of KISS FM for weeks and weeks and weeks -- so that's probably a big reason why he closed the show.
Adam's set was great as well. And the love he and Kris showed toward each other in interviews tonight was very sweet. They really are very good friends, and it's nice to see that.
