It's gonna be hard for this to turn around. Either way, she needs to do something to sell the album, cause even if this song is a hit, it doesn't strike me as something that would sell the album.

Up two spots to 62* on the Hot 100.

Why does she still even get coverage for her music? She hasn't been relevant in 6 or more years.

What kind of "coverage" is she getting, though? I mean, she's interviewed and gives ridiculous quotes, but like any other act, she's just discussing her upcoming project.
I don't see a big-sized hit happening with the album- perhaps another top 40 (or a little higher) Hot 100 entry.

Her new singles get press coverage by way of reviews, interviews with her, etc.
I am so over her using the term "risk" all of the dang time. She is so full of herself it's crazy. I guess that's the reason for her weight gain.

^She probably gets the coverage because she's a judge/mentor on a top-rated TV show right now. But, that doesn't mean the music will resonate with the music-buying/-listening public.

I believe that a lot of her problem is with her public personna. She's just not relatable and people don't care for her or her music anymore. It's really a shame.

Why wouldn't she get coverage? She's a once huge pop star trying to come back. She was on one of the biggest hits of 2011, she is a judge on a show that does extremely well in ratings, and the press has always eaten up everything she does. She isn't as popular but saying she hasn't been relevant in 6 years is just wrong.

^I gather he meant in terms of the last time she scored a notable radio hit as a lead act. Plus, she hasn't toured since 2007, either.

I wonder if "Your Body" will re-peak. It seems like radio is over the song already.
Legend X needs to release a "Beautiful" type of ballad like she did with Stripped.

Geez what does this woman have to do to get a hit?... I just think her music is ahead of time. Future generations will look "Your Body" as a pop classic and that's what matters the most. Xtina always is experimenting and taking risks as an artist while the others are playing safe like always. Christina is a risk taker and her album will sell, she just needs a powerful ballad as a single. You lost me was just released at the wrong time :) |

Releasing a ballad is the worst thing she could do right now. fall/winter is the best time for ballads. Xtina loves releasing ballads. if it's not now then when? Summer would be a worst time. Look what happend to You Lost Me. Let's remember: Dirrty #48 Pop classic not matter the peak. Beautiful #2 Her signature song. |

Your Body is not ahead of its time. Period. At all.
Plus why would anyone look back at a song that (let's assume this peaked) didn't even make top 20 as a "pop classic" ???

She hasn't had a big hit in such a long time though, her situation was very different then. Plus Beautiful is one of those songs that most likely only comes along once in a career. Just like We Belong Together. Ballads also aren't as big today unless you're Adele...or Katy (after a string of uptempo huge hits). I wouldn't even try releasing something slower until she has 2 decent sized hits. |

It's not a bad track by any means, but it's typical Max-Martin fodder but with a foghorn vocal rather than deadpan vocal. I don't really see how that is 'ahead of it's time'? |

If anything it's slightly behind it's time as the dance trend is trickling off.

What Xtina needs is a self-empowerment/female uptempo anthem in the same vein as Fighter or Can't Hold Us Down, or just a regular fun, upbeat pop love song like Ain't No Other Man. It's clear that radio listeners are not here for raunchy/sexy Xtina. All of her "sexy" singles have flopped on CHR (Dirrty, Candyman, NMT & it seems like YB is heading down the same path).

Releasing a ballad is the worst thing she could do right now. I fully expect that Sia ballad to come next, I wouldn't be surprised if her team thinks that's the right path for her.  Anyway, it's a shame this isn't doing better. Unpopular opinion, but I think this song is miles better than the other female releases of the fall (Die Young, Diamonds, etc.), and I'm far bigger of a fan for those artists than I am for Christina. Not only that, but it's also a vast improvement over Not Myself Tonight. The fact that that might peak higher than this on Pop radio is a travesty. |

DEAD at this! haha. I do agree about "You Lost Me" though. It should've been Bionics first single TBH. |

Maybe ahead of it's time it's not the right way to say it. But IMO "Your Body" doesn't sound like the typical generic Max Martin song at all. I think Max saved his best work in years for Xtina. Tell me which other song sounds like "Your Body"? It's not like those Katy Perry / Ke$ha / Flo Rida rip-offs out there. |

This reminds me of when Bey and her stans called Run the world a risk...its dance uptempo and a girl anthem :o She needs to get her appeal back. I really thought the voice would do it. |

I mean it sounds incredibly shallow but I don't think there's really any disputing the messiness of her current image.

"She can't be huge, she's fat!" has been the general message I get from people who say that.
No disputing her messy image though.
