No one loves the HAC forum. :'( I feel because the two genres have so much overlap these days that there never seems to be need to go to HAC when you can just stay in CHR/Pop.

Yeah, most songs are in both formats, or at least scrape the bottom of the other. And half the time people post HAC updates in Pop, so no reason to go to HAC. Especially since there's rarely anything said there that's not said here as well.
If it was lively I would frequent it much more often, but it's dead so I usually don't go there. :'(

I can't even tell how to see the Hot Ac charts anymore. I was like, oh I will get an update on what the top 20 looks like!!! Guess not.
Sorry for OT talk. Back to freaking out over Dark Side, I guess.

New peak of 42 on the hot 100 this week thumbs down :(. If it wasnt for streaming etc...and all the new silly, Mandarin Chinese complicated BB rules this would've easily been well into the top 40 by now. I'm afraid this may be its peak unless it somehow stays stable and other songs above it drop hard and nothing below it rises fast. :/

My gut feeling was it feels completely out of place in today's music industry. Many here would disagree, but if even Hot AC is not playing it as much as expected a lot of people must feel this way. I wouldn't give up on it yet though.

One of my favorite tracks off her album. I really wish it had a shot at #1, but reaching the Top30 is fine with me.

I think it DID make top 20 a few weeks back, but it got pushed back out. And yes I mean on an official Sunday update.

:( Time to think about what's next. Do they go with I Forgive You, Let Me Down or maybe this rerelease is true and release one of the new songs. I'm just sad I thought this was going to got atleast Top 5.

Dang - too bad it looks like this has peaked. Great song, but I just don't think they got it right with the timing. The video should have been released later, and maybe something a bit more interesting would have sparked further interest. Oh well - on to single #4 (my vote is for "Let me down" or re-release!)

Sad to see this isn't doing anything now. "Dark Side" peaked at #40 here (peaking at #29 on itunes) and made it to #9 in the overall airplay chart IIRC. It also helped album sales, so all is not lost! Bring on the next single please RCA! :)

Meanwhile Stronger is back in the top 20 on Airplay and just pulled in a +0.5 update.
Also, heard a remix of this at a bar last night. Sigh. :'(

This looks to have peaked on Hot AC as well, which is good for the sake of moving on since there's nothing keeping the song afloat anymore overall. Hopefully single four being released next month isn't too much to ask for, but I don't know if RCA will care as they have 3 big pop diva releases to prep for the fall. Kelly who?

If they aren't going to push the Stronger era no further, they should throw out You Love Me.

Now the question is whether they will push I Forgive You, a re-release single, or end the era. They shouldn't end the era b/c of 1 underperforming single. I could see IFY doing well w/o having to have heavy promo. Knowing how RCA has acted in past situations, they will wait til this song has been done for months and then send out a 4th single adds date, w/ no video, and no promo. Lets just hope they have learned from their past mistakes.

I'd hate to see the towel thrown in. I look back at the AIEW era, songs like IICHY and Long Shot and I Want You, and wonder what might have been if they'd been given a chance on radio. At a minimum, they should get I Forgive You launched before Kelly leaves for the world tour.

I'm happy at how this is wrapping up nicely (by nicely I mean quickly) on all fronts. There is no excuse not to move on to a 4th single within the next month, hopefully sooner, even for RCA. With songs like LMD and IFY waiting in the wings I see no need for a re-release. I prefer LMD, but I honestly think either would do well. Of course, not AS WELL as they would have if Dark Side could have gone 4th instead of 3rd.

guess I was right in not hearing what sooo many people heard and swore by w/ this song. Not happy I was right but thought it was a very meh/bland/ trying to hard to be this 'anthem like' song. Clearly it was a good album track but lacked the strength of being a single.
Thank god album sales somehow stayed steady (obviously due to how massive WDKY was). It's still riding on the dividends from that song imo- BUT they really need to pick the right 4th single (LMD) SOON which I still firmly say to this day shoulda been single #3 :/. Shoulda coulda...I know. But its not too late due to the fact WDKY is still getting massive airply and most people/casual fans prob. think it's still her current single lol and are waiting for single #3 lol. Hope they dont massively FCK up and pull an AIEW scenerio (picking AIEW as the last single instead of IICHY never seeing the light of day) :(

Haha. No thank you to the CC deals or anything to that extent. It hurts me to see this single's charts run possibly end already, but I guess the time has come for this to peak. At least it almost went top 20, which I can accept at this point. I'll be even happier with a top 40 peak on the Hot 100, but it may not happen from the looks of it. I hope this can at least keep trucking over the next few days. It's a wonderful song to listen to on the radio. Honestly (no pun intended ), I wouldn't mind seeing LMD, IFY, or YLM as the next single. I'd normally go with IFY, but I think YLM can end up surprising people as a single choice despite it's 80s influenced sound. I'll discuss more about my thoughts in the polling booth.
