Wow, the turnaround from its stalling a few short days ago. I always had faith in it but I admit to feeling a bit skeptical when it started to stagnate-- so happy radio is giving this a chance and that the public is responding to it positively.

Just because I want to:
1837 spins from #20 (+93) 1711 spins from #21 (+85) 1640 spins from #22 (+13) 1554 spins from #23 (-81) 1466 spins from #24 (-32) 1126 spins from #25 (+167) 1048 spins from #26 (-246) 822 spins from #27 (-102) 354 spins from #28 (+11) 318 spins from #29 (+28)
11 spins ahead #31 (+11) 267 spins ahead #32 (+82) 483 spins ahead #33 (+39) 493 spins ahead #34 (+28) 557 spins ahead #35 (+25)
Good news is that she's pulling away from the five positions below her, and gaining, slowly but surely, on the two positions above her. Even more good news is "Brokenhearted" will be going recurrent tomorrow, and "Starships" might go as well, if it falls below "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Let's Go" jumps both of them. Which is all very possible. "Starships" just needs to lose 54 spins more than "What Makes You Beautiful" tomorrow and "Let's Go" just need another update like today's.

It's amazing this is happening without promotion, other than her being on duets and not even singing this song.
It's connecting. Finally.

For some perspective, it's interesting to note that this is currently #15 on American Top 40, and #14 on Rick Dees' Top 40 countdowns.

Right. It was just good to see this doing so well on at least a couple of charts! Sorry I didn't clarify.

The constant iTunes updates need to stop. They're against board policy and they are a nuisance to read through.

Not bad at all for a third single with under 30 million AI. I have been known to be quite off with KC predictions (for example: check out the 'Hook Up' thread ), but I did state in October 2011 (when Kelly confirmed that 'Kill' would be released as single #2) that 'Kill' would hit #1 on CHR/Pop and on Billboard's Hot 100 and would rival 'Since U Been Gone' as Kelly's most successful single ever merely because the song sounded so BIG to me with every listen. Moreover, I have wanted 'Dark Side' to be single #3 and follow the monster that I believed 'Kill' would be back in October mostly because I truly believed (and still do) that 'Dark Side' will be the second biggest single of this era and will potentially open Kelly up to several music award nominations because of it's vocals, lyrics, and somewhat ethereal production. Seeing the radio stall nearly one week ago concerned me as much as every other supporter in here, but this past week's performance somewhat vindicates my continued support for 'Dark Side' to be single #3, although it hopefully has ways to go until it's peak. I have been intentionally staying out of this thread for the past month until recently because of the interesting behaviours of some folks cheering the bad updates. To those folks:

I come in and try to find the daily radio update and I have to sort through posts every time it goes up a position. ...and it's against board policy. Here you go.

Do you think this really has a shot at any big awards, though? With as huge as WDKY was, I can not see this getting any nominations over that song and unfortunately the two songs did not come out far enough apart to get nominated in different years. (for example, Adele can still get nominations for SFTTR because of the timing after RITD, I believe) I am mainly talking about the Grammys but maybe a few other awards programs out there will be timed so that WDKY can get nominations and then DS can get some next year.

I think one daily iTunes update is sufficient, and that poster can simply edit his/her original post with the updated number if they wish. It's exciting for fans to get these updates, but this isn't a fan board and we all know how to find iTunes charts if we're so inclined.

...in other news they added this to my work place's playlist. They usually do not add new songs this quickly. I hear it at least once a shift and a girl I work with was singing it while I was talking to her and another girl was humming along to it when I went on break one day. I kind of think that bodes well for the song.

And the updates are kinda annoying too. 7 am OOH #49! ... 7 pm OOOOH #48!!!!!11!!
Maybe if it suddenly gained 10 spots in an hour, that would be something to talk about.

Finally time for me to listen to this. Up until when the first chorus came on, I was absolutely loving it, but the chorus has that awful LOUD noise production again. It's not anywhere near as frustrating in this song as it is in "Stronger", but I really wish they had tuned it down there. Otherwise, though, the production beneath the verses is fantastic, and the song is so much more catchy than I was expecting. That twinkly music box thing at the start is my favorite part of the song. Overall, the song gets a B from me, and I'm happy it's still climbing. :)
