If its run ended right now, yes, it would be a flop, especially following a number 1. Moderate hit status would be top 25-35 on the Hot 100. I fully believe she will get that and more. I want, at least, a top 20 hit.

Thrilled it's climbing consistently, but yeah, it isn't a hit yet, and I need it to be. Not settling for less than top 10.

Where does Dark Side fall among Kelly's other singles in terms of Hot 100 peaks? I know IDNHU peaked at 20. Is it ahead of Low yet?

Nice jump! I can't wait to see the rate it continues to move up.

Where does Dark Side fall among Kelly's other singles in terms of Hot 100 peaks? I know IDNHU peaked at 20. Is it ahead of Low yet? Here's her Hot 100 Peaks: # 1 - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) # 1 - My Life Would Suck Without You # 1 - A Moment Like This # 2 - Since U Been Gone # 6 - Breakaway # 6 - Behind These Hazel Eyes # 7 - Because of You # 8 - Never Again # 9 - Miss Independent # 10 - Mr. Know It All # 12 - Walk Away # 13 - Already Gone # 20 - I Do Not Hook Up # 31 - Don't You Wanna Stay # 50 - Because of You (Country Version w/ Reba) # 57 - Dark Side# 58 - Low # 96 - All I Ever Wanted She has a long way to go. But with consistent increases in airplay, sales, and streaming, I can see this becoming a hit.

31 28 KELLY CLARKSON Dark Side 2109 1645 464 13.982 +61 Spins +15 Bullet +0.354 Audience Good update. A top 15 peak is not out of the question but I can see it pulling an IDNHU, only with better longevity

31 28 KELLY CLARKSON Dark Side 2109 1645 464 13.982 +61 Spins +15 Bullet +0.354 Audience Point of reference: 34 28 KELLY CLARKSON Already Gone 1792 1426 366 9.113 spins +48 bullet +11 A.I. +0.201 I really think this song's run will be almost identical to AG's. A really slow build until it explodes close to the top 10, and then everyone will say it's headed to #1. AG stopped short, and I sort of think this might, too, but an AG-sized hit is exactly what I'm looking for for this song, but with a top 10 peak on the Hot 100, too. Even reading through the threads for AG is like reading through this thread. For those interested... Part One (pg. 70 is where DS is at now) Part Two

My face upon reading page 70 of the AG thread: All discussion about Kelly's weight and none about the song. Typical AIEW era garbage. Thank god those days are behind us. I'm happy to see the stability continue as this climbs. If it keeps up the pace, it might end up peaking sometime in the early fall if it makes it to the top 10. Believers of the season theory should be pleased if they thought DS would be best suited for that time of year.

Up to #5 on the Dance charts--it'd be nice to get a #1 for this song somewhere!

Oh my god. Reading the AG thread was hilarious. I'm still stoked this song is doing so well without ANY promo in the last couple weeks. Seriously - I thought this song would need a big push, turns out it just needed a little time.

Already Gone hit the top 20 on October 4th and did not go recurrent until February 7th, or actually the week after that. That is some nice longevity, 4 months in the top 20. If DS were to do the same then it could definitely be more of a fall hit which would definitely please all those people who think songs have to be released according to their seasonal sound. lol

One thing I wish they had been smarter last era was the timing release of the 4th single! Hopefully now they will be quicker to release it, so radio will play it!

Not really timing so much as promotion of it. It was released only to the US and Canada and received zero promo. Not even a low budget live music video! Ticks me off because "All I Ever Wanted" should've been a top 20 hit on pop radio at least.

I think AIEW was just the wrong single choice, period. Instead, IICHY would have given the album some legs. I get that Tedder produced it, and that it still wouldn't have received much promo, but I think it could have been a hit regardless. Such a jam.

Ticks me off because "All I Ever Wanted" should've been a top 20 hit on pop radio at least. Yeah, AIEW was doomed in part by not having even a single promotional appearance, which was a shame because she just killed that song live. Partly because they released it while she was touring Asia. Honestly, this is speculation, but...maybe there was some lingering angst all around after some of the drama surrounding Already Gone, but particularly with the failure to produce a video, I sort of suspect that there may have been some drama with the label at that point over Kelly's image/weight. She referred sort of vaguely in one of the interviews this era to somebody telling her she didn't have an image and they couldn't market her. If you line up that interview with the lyrics to You Love Me, which she says she wrote about a professional relationship, it seems to fit that storyline. "Forgivin arms... the higher road... workin hard but it's n-n-n-not enough" You Love Me is probably my favorite track on Stronger. I always think about the record label when I hear that song, and it really does fit. All this talk about AIEW makes me so :'( >:(. My fav and most played Kelly song deserved to be a hit! >:(

As one of the initial haters of this song, it pains me to say this...this song is really starting to grow on me.

Why would it pain you to say that? I'm always extremely reluctant to say I like a song that's grown on me. Especially when I hate it on my first listen.
