Happy album release day! Thank You Camellia is currently at #4 (for the deluxe edition) and #131 (standard edition) on overall iTunes chart.
Meanwhile The Vision Of Love had another solid update on the MB HAC chart:
37 35 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 377 312 65 1.1
so, compared to Monday's MB chart, that is:
+15 spins +17 bullet +0.044 AI

(I'm on his official street team which is why I know way too much about his schedule :) )
He did a performance at the Apple Store in NYC and at least 2 radio interviews yesterday. He did Live in Kelly this morning then he did a private acoustic show for a NYC ad agency. Tonight he is doing a show (album release party?) at a club in NYC. He flies back to L.A. in the morning and is scheduled to perform at KIIS-FM's After Idol party tomorrow night. Then's he's got at least one interview on Thursday before flying back to Arkansas where he has a couple of radio appearances/performances lined up plus a CD signing at the Conway Wal-Mart. Then on Saturday he's got a show in Ocean City, Maryland and on Monday he's performing in some Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC.
Talk about jet lag! I hope he gets frequent flier miles for this

The Vision Of Love moved up 3 spots on this week's published HAC chart, from #38 last week to #35 this week
38 35 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 348 307 41 1.035
Here is how TVOL’s number’s compare with last week’s official chart:
Rank: 35 (+3) Spins: 348 (+41) Bullet: 41 (+31) AI: 1.035 (+0.207)
Kris was the in-studio guest on Rick Dees' Weekly HAC Countdown show this weekend and TVOL was the "sure shot" song.
TVOL has had 60+ spins in each of the last 2 days, the first time it has done that. So although it is still moving slowly, it does seem to have picked up at least a little bit of momentum leading into his album release on Tuesday May 22nd

This is starting to get a few more daytime spins, which has helped the AI.
He should pass Bieber on the HAC Chart tomorrow (currently 3 spins behind)

I don't know if this album will sell as muh as KATA. I hope it does, because it is a much stronger album overall and it deserves to be commercially successful. But there are a lot of really good albums that don;t sell much and there are a lot or mediocre albums that sell millions.
HDD and BB are predicting Adam Lambert will sell 70-80K his first week. Back in 2009, Kris sold just over 40% of what Adam did in their respective 1st weeks. If that 40% thing held up this time around (which won't necessarily happen), then Kris would open with around 24K-32K his first week. Honestly, if he ends up doing that, it would be a pretty good opening week. But will this album do that? I have no clue.

Kris has done 3 radio shows the last couple of days: for KLLY (Bakersfield), Star 94.1 (San Diego) and KPSI (Palm Springs). He has a full band concert for WINK (Ft. Myers, FL) on Saturday before heading to NYC, where he will be on Live with Kelly on 5/22.
TVOL has gotten decent updates on the HAC chart the last couple days as well:
Tuesday, 5/15:
41 37 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 312 290 22 0.878
Wednesday, 5/16:
42 37 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 320 294 26 0.941
He should pass Justin Bieber ("Boyfriend") in the next day or two.

Kris is taping an appearance for Extra! tomorrow at The Grove in L.A. Then he is having an album listening party for the media. Not open to the general public, although they are going to give away a few passes to the party at the Extra! show.

This EP is now available to download off Kris' website. The winner of the remix contest turned the song into a house track. Pretty cool.

What are these numbers for the upcoming releases? Are they just "areyoureadytojump" 's random guesses for 1st week #s?
I'm confused...

Loving all the snippets. My vote for single #2 is "Rooftops", but wouldn't be upset with "My Weakness" "Better with You" or even "Monster" (the latter is my favorite song on the album)

There are snippets for all the songs on Thank You Camellia up on iTunes now!
TVOL had a solid week on HOT AC. Sitting at #42 on this morning's HAC chart, but will move up to #41 after one recurrent is removed:
44 42 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 262 218 44 0.687
The 44 bullet is +30 from last week's (14) The AI is +0.107 from last week's (0.58)
TVOL will be getting auto adds tomorrow from WWFS (NYC), WBMX (Boston), Sirius Radio channel The Pulse and (possibly) WJLK in Monmouth-Ocean, NJ (this last channel has been inconsistent lately in how it adds songs; sometimes it manually adds, sometimes it auto adds, sometimes it gives no adds).

There are preview snippets for the whole album up on iTunes now. Each snippet is about 90 seconds long.
One vote for Rooftops for single #2, please
(PS - TVOL had a solid update on HAC this week and will be getting auto adds from stations in NYC, Boston and from Sirius Radio's channel The Pulse tomorrow)

Sirius Satellite station The Pulse has started to give TVOL a few spins.
Second straight day with a decent update:
47 42 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 239 209 30 0.645 +2 Positions +8 Spins +11 Bullet +0.015 AI
It has a shot of cracking the Top 40 on this week's published chart. Depends on a few things happening outside of TVOL simply getting spins: a couple of songs will likely have to go recurrent or be purged (of those above TVOL on chart, the one most likely to be purged is Adam's BTIKM -- it is at #35 today and could get purged if it drops to #40 or below, which it could do). Kris also may jump Haley, whose single has stalled.
Would be better, of course, if TVOL moved into Top 40 on its own merits,, rather than depending on other songs moving down. But at this point I'll take pretty much what I can get.
The music video for TVOL was sent to VH1 yesterday and should be available to be voted on in the Top 20 countdown after this week's show airs on Saturday.
Oh BTW, KAO posted a behind the scenes video of the album cover shoot on the website. Quite a bit of flailing over the 10 seconds (or so) of shirtless Kris. LOL.

TVOL got adds from stations in Pittsburgh (WLTJ), Chicago (WTMX) and Hartford (WTIC) this week. In addition, WWFS in New York has given it an overnight spin yesterday and today and WBMX in Boston has spun it evry day this week. It also was sent to Canadian radio and has picked up a few spins there.
It had a new high in the # of spins yesterday and I think this is the first time its gotten a double digit spin increase. These are all baby steps, but maybe it will start to pick up some sort of momentum.
It should pass the 2 songs immediately ahead of it on the HAC chart by the end of the week, and depending on what songs go recurrent or are purged, has a shot at cracking the Top 40 on the official published chart, although it is probably still a long shot.
48 44 KRIS ALLEN The Vision Of Love 231 212 19 0.63 +1 Position +10 Spins +8 Bullet +0.002 AI

Nice bump on iTunes after last night's Idol performance. The pre-order for Thank You Camellia is #130 on chart. More interesting/surprising to me is that his debut album (KATA) is #540 on the chart.

This morning the song is #131 on the overall iTunes chart.That's a good bump, considering it was totally out of the Top 1000 prior to his Idol performance. Both his upcoming album and his debut album are on the iTunes chart -- the pre-release at #130 the debut album (KATA) at #540. I can't even remember the last time I saw KATA on the iTunes chart, so this is cool to see.
Of course these bumps will likely be short term, so now he needs the radio play to step up. Still no word on whether he's going to go out on a promo tour of stations...

This is awful. Hyperactive production, horrible lyrics and they autotuned the crap out of his voice so it sounds nothing like him. Stefano can really sing -- he doesn't need autotuning, just saying.
Of course, having said all that, watch it become a hit.

Kris is performing TVOL on American Idol tonight.
Both WBMX (Boston) and WTMX (Chicago) have started to spin this song, although Boston has limited it to overnight spins and the WTMX spins have come in the listener-driven UMixIt block. Still, it's better than those stations not spinning it at all.
TVOL is at #47 on the Hot AC and #49 on the AC Mediabase chart this morning.

It will be interesting to see tonight's performance on Idol. It will be full band, and from tweets yesterday, it appears there will also be a choir and/or dancers.
James Durbin got a big boost on iTunes after his Idol performance last week, so hopefully TVOL will get a similar type of boost after tonight's performance.
I'm hoping that RCA/19 will send him on an actual radio promo tour starting next week. Otherwise, the single will likely continue to struggle. Which is a shame, because it's a good song and Kris performs it really well.

So if I'm understanding this right, Bruno Mars is the only song currently in the Top 50 that will go recurrent when the published chart is released tomorrow night (his song is at #11 on chart right now)? None of the other songs below #10 with negative bullets will go recurrent?

The music video for TVOL went up for sale on iTunes last night.
Meanwhile, TVOL got 2 spins from CHR station WIXX (Appleton, WI) yesterday. Probably just random or test spins, since no CHR adds date has been announced.
Song is #49 on HAC chart this morning

The first 5 songs on the tracklist are killer. I wonder how his version of Blindfolded will sound different from the one that's one Heinz Winckler's album. Interesting that a song that he got placed on someone else's cd ended up making his album as well.
I'm exited to hear Loves Me Not and Rooftops.
Also, he said in interview with Lyndsey Parker that "Shut That Door" will be on the acoustic EP.
Now he needs to tell us which songs are the bonus tracks
