Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson - Don't You Wanna Stay

[Hook]

Jason Aldean's "Don't You Wanna Stay" featuring Kelly Clarkson goes for Hot AC adds March 7.

The video, currently airing on CMT:


This seems like a HAC hit to me. I'd like it to be. :) If only there was an actual video, it'd be great for VH1 to pick up.

[Illusions]

I really hope this is a hit on HAC!

[Devin]

This is very pleasant news. The label is making good decisions :)

[Deleted]

Hot AC has changed alot these past few months. If this were released this time last year, I would have said that it would easily go top 20. I hope it does well!

[Vic]

Very mediocre song. Only saving grace is Kelly

[HereIsGone]

Yeah, not feeling this.

My thoughts exactly. I really like Kelly but keep country on country. I have never been found of country crossing over to HotAC. Heck, HotAC doesn't even support HotAC artists anymore. Why would I want to listen to Jason Aldean over the Ryan Stars on this format is beyond me. There are only a handful of male solo artists (that aren't R&B) that this format is still supporting (to a degree)...Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Daughtry (he's a solo artist is my mind because that was how he was introduced to the public). I'm pretty much drawing a blank after that.

If you read the first post on this thread you would've saw that this was already stated.

I hope this is a hit. Hopefully just the fact that Kelly's on it will give it some spins.

About a month after the adds date. Maybe the Idol performance will help it take off?

[folkfan]

I don't know---I like Kelly's voice on this, but I'm just not crazy about Jason's voice. To me, this single has done what I most wanted for Kelly, which was added exposure to the country market, in addition to her Reba duet and Crossroads. I don't know that it necessarily needs to go a whole lot further on HAC to be a win for Kelly.

True, but crossing over will only be a bigger win. She has absolutely nothing to lose here. It was already a huge country hit, so everything else is just icing on the cake.

At #28, this song is really picking up speed on this format. Last seven days:

Fri 5/6: +39 spins (to 688)
Thurs 5/5: +32 spins
Wed 5/4: +42 spins
Tues 5/3: +16 spins
Mon 5/2: +18 spins
Sun 5/1: +14 spins
Sat 4/30: +13 spins

But it's still only playing on 35 of the 98 or so stations on the HAC panel, only one other song in the top 29 is on less than 47 stations. So, more adds will be key.

[kylecburke]

this song remains tied for the biggest bullet...It is Blowing UP!

Spin gains:

5/7: +33
5/8: +28
5/9: +36
5/10: +41

Still playing on only 39 stations. 8 new adds this week:

KLLC-FM San Francisco
KMXB-FM Las Vegas
KSTP-FM Minneapolis
KWYE-FM Fresno
WMTX-FM Tampa
WPTE-FM Norfolk
WTMX-FM Chicago
The Pulse SiriusXM

Good to see some adds in big cities like Chicago & San Francisco - overall this is being spun more in Southern markets, but not exclusively.

[SoMuchToSay]

They've got about 8 weeks to do what they're gonna do with this song on hot ac. Come July, her 1st single is gonna kill all the momentum that this song has going on this format.

[maria4hitz]

Almost top 20 :)

24 21 Up this week JASON ALDEAN/KELLY CLARKSON Don't You Wanna Stay 1069 838 231 5.731

[wallace]

Last 7 days' spin gains - this song is #20 on the chart but already #15 in AI:

Tues 5/24 +45 (to 1261)

Sun 5/22 +44
Sat 5/21 +32
Fri 5/20 +20
Thurs 5/19 +42
Wed 5/18 +43

Looking at the songs above and below this, it now looks like a very good shot to reach #15 or 16 within a week (depending on when Grenade goes recurrent) and peak somewhere inside the top 10.

I'd love to see this go top 10 on this format.

[wallace]

Gained another 99 spins over the past two days to hit #18. Also got adds at WLTW in NY, one of the biggest stations on the AC panel.

[wallace]

DYWS has now been added by WPLJ in NY, which I believe is the biggest station on the HAC panel.

Progress a little slower over the holiday weekend, but it's still sitting pretty well at #17.

[wallace]

Last four days' spin gains (to 1665): +34, +55, +58, +33. Still a ways from #10, but the two songs ahead of DYWS are both dropping like stones:

10 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE Sing 2105 1905 200 10.486
11 TRAIN Save Me San Francisc... 2051 1740 311 9.023

16 JASON ALDEAN/KELLY CLARKSON Don't You Wanna Stay 1665 1437 228 9.03

UPDATE (6/7): +56 more spins today, hits #15 and just two spins from #14, as Grenade drops 43 spins and Falling In drops 65 spins.

[Hook]

I would like to see this manage a Top 10 peak on HAC. Looks like it's just waiting for The Script to fall out of the Top 10.....plus, have to hope that Coldplay doesn't jump it too soon.

[wallace]

It just yesterday hit Top 10 on AC. Looks like it's about peaked on HAC, but hopefully can eke out a Top 10 peak before it starts dropping.

[Hook]

Top 10!
