+46 on pop with +.112 AI. Goes top 10 on Hot AC today! See, that's the thing. It always seemed to be more of an AC/HOT AC song than a pop one, at least to me. Pop/Top 40 radio seems to be about a fairly narrow range of music these days. There are plenty of examples of really good songs that don't go very high on Pop/Top 40 radio. Just two examples that come to my mind immediately are Brandi Carlile's 'The Story,' and My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade.' Both did fine on AC/Hot AC, but not on Pop radio. 'Dark Side' was always a risky choice for a single. Most people here were saying so long before it was released, but were calling for it to be a single anyway. So I'm pretty happy with a Pop top 20 peak, and top 10 AC/Hot AC for this song all things considered. :)

I know "Black Parade" reached Top 10. Today though, we have Adele, fun., Gotye, Ellie Goulding, Grouplove, Alex Clare, etc. All of these artists probably would not have charted before. Pop has had a much more open mind lately.

It's not been a total disaster but this isn't happening (and I was an initial supporter of its release). I think they should line up a fourth single.

I would love for her to perform at the VMAs-is that even feasible? I know she only has one nomination, but she is a very recognizable name and some of the regular pop crowd won't be performing this year.

^It would require her going from Missouri to L.A. to Texas in a three-day span. Quite unlikely.

She wouldn't do it even if she wasn't touring.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of the big names won't be there or at least not performing. So they'll be looking for different performers than they typically would, so Kelly really could have a big shot at a performance.
Didn't someone say she's got touring right then, though?

Christina, Pink, Ke$ha are releasing and they're on the same label, I'd imagine they'd be top priority :( Taylor will probably perform. i don't recall ever seeing Mariah on the VMAs (?) How many [pop] performances are there usually?

If Christina and Ke$ha are ready to go, I imagine those two and Pink will fill the pop slots. If they're not, I could see them approaching Kelly. And I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of her being up for it--there haven't been many significant promo opportunities she's passed up in the last year, if any. The tour makes it tough though and that will always be her priority.

up to #29 now on iTunes! . Song is slowly but surely holding on saleswise w/ minimal airplay! Just not getting at all why radio isnt on this more.

I wouldn't call this minimal airplay anymore. It doesn't have huge airplay, but it's nearing the top 20 on overall airplay.

I figure it would have already been mentioned by now if it did - but did this pick up any adds today?

Post by josh on Jul 31, 2012 21:14:18 GMT -5
3 HAC adds yesterday 6 Pop adds 0 Rhythmic adds 0 AC adds
I would think AC should start to pick up on this soon.

Thanks guys-I guess a performance isn't looking likely. I almost wish Pink/Kesha had to sit it out for some reason. But, yeah, Pink, Kesha, Christina, Rihanna, Katy (I am assuming the last two)-that is a lot of pop stars that will probably want to perform.

Katy's not going to perform. Wide Awake will be done by then, and she's supposedly taking a break. Unless they decide to do another single. I wouldn't call this minimal airplay anymore. It doesn't have huge airplay, but it's nearing the top 20 on overall airplay. do you or anyone have the link to the daily Mediabase top 50? The one I had stopped updating in June! lol :( allaccess.com requires an account (but is free) and updates daily. Also kworb.net/radio no account required. :)

Mediabase overall AI from that Wednesday (same chart) has: OWL CITY & CARLY RAE JEPSEN - Good Time: 37.694 (+ 1.288) KELLY CLARKSON - Dark Side: 34.563 (+ 0.012) So Kelly was just outside the top 40 last week. Although her AI isn't too much higher this week than it was last week. Let's hope for a good update tomorrow in the AI department.

Kelly won't want to perform at the VMA's. Does anybody remember that Kelly bashed the show right before her Mr. Know It All premiere video cast when her microphone was accidentally turned on? She talked about how Adam Levine dissed the VMA's via Twitter and then spoke about it herself. I highly doubt she will ever perform there again.

im SOO hoping this does do well like you all think. However I am making my final prediction on this. Again I hope I'm wrong, but this is where I feel it will peak:
Hot 100: #25 Top 40 Pop: #15 AC: #7 HOTAC: #3

That's why I said she won't do it, I highly doubt she'll associate herself with the show after making those comments. She had the perfect opportunity to premiere MKIA on the VMAs last year, and she let that go. There is no way she'll do it this year with a single she's had no interest in promoting.

I believe she said she would rather watch paint dry than the VMA's, so I don't see it as likely. It would be awesome, though!

The VMA's are such a great platform. I really don't get Kelly sometimes.

The VMA's are such a great platform. I really don't get Kelly sometimes. Not only would a performance of "Dark Side" presumably be lost in the shuffle of a lot of new songs being premiered/performed, but Kelly also has often expressed a marked disinterest in pop award shows-- unless she is nominated she usually avoids them. I wouldn't bet on her performing, especially since "Stronger" is up for no awards (isn't that a bit odd?) and "Dark Side" is only in one small category.
