307 151 KRIS ALLEN The Truth 15 3 12 0.051
t is also at #39 on the Hot AC chart
What's really funny is that Kris's album version of "Heartless" is sitting at #76 on the Pop chart!

Look for Kris's new single to be in the Top 40 on the Hot AC radio airplay chart tomorrow. It's at #41 today and is only 5 spins behind Taylor Swift's "Today was a Fairytale", which is rapidly losing spins.
Having two songs in the Top 40 at the same time? Not bad. Not bad at all...

up to #44 on the Hot AC chart. It's only 9 spins behind the song at #40, so it seems pretty definite that it will crack the Top 40 by the next official chart
It sold slightly more than 8K downloads this past week. That number should jump after he performs it on the AI finale next week

it will probably get more adds after he performs it on the AI finale next week. It's already #45 on the Hot AC chart, despite got getting a ton of adds.
It is picking up a few spins on the Pop chart as well

yay for it showing up on the Pop chart. More Top 40 stations seem willing to at least give it a test spin, so this may end up doing ok in th format. LLWD was a relatively slow grower in Top 40 (it charter higher more quickly in Hot AC) and that will be the case here as well. But I'm cautiously optimistic

I was at Wango Tango tonight. Adam did a great job -- but that was a very pro-Bieber/Usher crowd -- an odd crowd for Adam's music. He got a good crowd response but not a great one.

Z100 sponsored the concert at Six Flags (NJ) that Kris & Allison played tonight [Saturday] , and a couple of their deejays were there. They really like Kris and LLWD did really well for that station -- it was in the Top 10 of its playlist for a LONG time -- so I wouldn't be surprised if they start playing The Truth
Also, after the concert Kris drove to Philly and did an in-studio livestream chat thing with Q102, which is another Pop station. They spun The Truth while he was there. And again, the deejays there love Kris, so that station could start playing it as well.

It hasn't gotten more than a couple of spins on CHR yet, but it's moving up on the Hot AC chart. At #48 this morning. Has at outside shot of cracking the Top 40 on Hot AC by the time the official chart comes out on Monday (is 124 spins behind)
I wonder if it will officially go for CHR adds the week after he performs this on Idol? Or maybe that week?

I was looking on yes.com today and saw a lot of spins for The Truth on a variety of stations -- including a couple of Top 40 stations.
Also, Kris's publicist tweeted in response to people asking about a music video.
ginaorr
#To tell you #TheTruth @krisallen has not been in one state long enough to shoot a video! 35 minutes ago via web
That response seems like they are planning to shoot one, but need to find time when Kris is in the same place. He's been traveling all over the place, but should be in L.A. for a few days in a row sometime during the next couple weeks before his tour kicks into high gear right after the AI finale (5/26). So hopefully they will film this soon

Paramore is an alternative rock band from Nashville. They have had a couple of pretty big hits and get played a ton on both KROQ and 98.7 FM here in L.A. Hayley, who is just 20 years old, is the only female in the band -- so no -- they're not an underground chick band (whatever that is)

Another sign it's going to be sent for adds to CHR. According to yes.com, it is getting some spins on Top 40 stations already. I saw this on twitter:
WDJX Louisville (a Pop station) played @krisallen The Truth 3 times tonight at 10:00PM, 10:07 and 10:17PM according to yes.com \o/

The song hasn't been released yet -- so there are no iTunes sales. It just went for adds on Tuesday and airplay has been limited to a handful of spins so far. It should pick up over the next couple of weeks
And I wouldn't be too quick to put him on the AI finale. Are TPTB really going to have both Kris and Adam perform on the finale? And Kris will perform -- every winner has been on the following year's finale and that isn't going to change this time around. I don't have any inside info, but I wonder if Adam might end up performing on Top 3 results show next week.

I couldn't find the LLWD thread, so I'll post this here... Congratulations to Kris for becoming the first-ever Idol alum to crack the Top 10 on Billboard's Pop, Hot AC (a.k.a. Adult Pop) and AC charts with his/her debut single. LLWD really is the little song that could, defying all kinds of early expectations. "ADULT ENTERTAINMENT: Kris Allen pushes 11-10 on Adult Contemporary with "Live Like We're Dying." The 2009 "American Idol" champ is the show's 10th former contestant to reach the chart's top 10, following Kimberley Locke (seven top 10s), Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry (with Daughtry) (four each), Clay Aiken, David Cook, and Carrie Underwood (two each) and David Archuleta, Jordin Sparks and Elliott Yamin (one). With "Live Like We're Dying" having peaked at No. 3 on Adult Pop Songs and No. 10 on Pop Songs, Allen is the series' first graduate to send a debut single into the top 10 on all three charts." www.billboard.com/column/chartbeat/...tory?tag=hpfeed

Color me skeptical, but I don't think Zarasthustra is really a Kris fan -- comes off as a Train stan who wants to give Pat Monahan all the credit for whatever success this song has. Which is rather silly -- that's like giving The Script all the credit for LLWD's success. Jive didn't "beg" him to help Kris -- more than likely, when he submitted the song, the label promised him it would be released as a single. Happens all the time when well known artists get cuts on albums that aren't their own. It is Kris who is gong to be performing it on t.v. and around the country in concert -- not Pat. So the success/failure of the song lies far more on Kris than it does on Pat. No one is going to blame the Train frontman if the song flops, will they? (which it won't, it'll do fine -- at least on the Hot AC/AC charts. TBD if it does anything in Top 40)
Anyway, the song continues to move steadily up the iTunes chart -- #86 overall when I checked a half-hour ago

zarasthustra
Huh? Kris has one of the most loyal fanbases of any Idol. We helped #TheTruth trend at #2 on twitter, we support him against haters who say crap like he cheated to win the show and we travel all around the country to go to his concerts. Just because someone doesn't like the choice of The Truth as a single doesn't make them a bad fan. Also Pat Monahan and Kris aren't friends -- as far as I know, they've never even met. Pat wrote this song, decided he didn't want to record it, and then somehow decided to submit to to Kris's management.
I prefer the album version over the single version of this song, but I still bought it off iTunes and I am trying my best to support it. I want the song to do well, as its success will determine whether Kris gets a 3rd single off his album -- hopefully one he had a hand in writing.
Anyway, the good news is that The Truth has cracked the Top 100 on the overall Itunes chart (currently #93) and the Top 50 on the iTunes pop chart (currently #47).
It also picked up its first Top 40 add, from a station in Florence, SC

Kris fans on twitter banded together to try and get #theTruth to trend in support of the fact the song was released for sale. And they did a good job -- it was the #2 trend on twitter for awhile this afternoon
Meanwhile, The Truth has cracked the Top 100 on the overall itunes chart, sitting at #97. Not bad considering it hasn't gotten any promotion and just a small amount of radio airplay so far. It got an additional 8 adds this week, and is listed as "taking off" on the All-Access Hot AC page.

Because it hasn't gone for adds yet in Top 40, and seeing how it does on Hot AC could impact whether Jive decides to push it to Top 40. (8 adds so far today)

Good news!! WPLJ, the Hot AC station (or one of them anyway) in New York City just officially added The Truth.
Kris has gotten 4 new adds total so far today -- NYC, Cleveland, Little Rock and Bakersfield
