Definitely echo the sentiments that I hope her label does something. A boost like this could certainly be accompanied by another shot at radio.

LOL no but seriously, I would LOVE for those two things to happen. JUSTICE FOR PXP!!!! GOD HEARD US. HE FORGAVE OUR SINS. WE ARE BEING REWARDED FOR OUR PATIENCE AND LOYALTY.

So this is her first viral performance of her own song...ever, yes? I guess under today's parameters her finale performance of "A Moment Like This" would count, but viral wasn't a thing then. That's just incredible, and very full circle.
Whether or not this resuscitates this song's or album's performance, she has firmly put this song on the map, and that is fantastic. It is one of her best songs, certainly her most impressively written single, and it always deserved this level of attention. Thrilled for her. And as for the fans, who would have thought we'd see the album land two Grammy nominations and have a dead third single shoot to #1 on iTunes--her first chart-topper there since "Stronger"?
Plus, in two months when she bawls all over again to "A Moment Like This," she'll have the momentum of this performance behind her, and it will likely call attention to it all over again.

Damn that performance was beautiful. And that's AMAZING how well the song is doing on iTunes because of it. Her label needs to do something ASAP because this could smash oh my god.

Yeah, she has a guaranteed second "moment" coming in two months. That kind of foresight is rare and invaluable. Even though she's done with promo for the year probably, they should still give this era a little nudge to sustain through then.

I actually honestly, with this performance alone, have a completely different view of the PXP era. It was very basic and honestly, lackluster to me. I loved the tour, but she didn't sound her best. I love the album, but it didn't hold us as well for me as I would have liked. Suddenly I'm reconnecting with it and seeing it in a whole different light. Kelly!!

RCA better be having that quick conference meeting and making a real nice plan to send this song to pop radio- it really ain't that hard. Let's get that social media team up on there too. do work sweeties. ya'll got a job to do and Kelly made it real easy for you

Talent prevails. I thought this was her best song since Ths Breakaway era and I'm glad it's being heard. Heartbeat Song is a piece of shit, Invinceable is vanilla and could be sung by anyone, but this song..shows a level of artistry that's been absent from her image for too long. Still love it, love the performance, send it to pop radio and get a hit that assists in her commercial AND artistic career.

Where are my gays working at Sony? I have a few friends that do, but all they do is hype Sia and Adele tracks on their Facebook. Bitches need to step up and represent a true talent!!!

Kelly Clarkson's 'Piece by Piece' sales spike after American Idol performance The track hit No. 1 on iTunes. BY DANA GETZ • @danagetz Share0 Tweet0 Share on Google+0 Share on Pinterest0 Share on Tumblr Share0 Tweet0 Share on Google+0 Share on Pinterest0 Share on Tumblr American Idol Posted February 26 2016 — 11:30 AM EST Following Kelly Clarkson’s heartfelt performance of “Piece by Piece” on American Idol Thursday night, the single has soared to No. 1 on iTunes. Its 2015 album of the same name also shot to a top spot, nabbing No. 3 on the iTunes album chart. Related The last invasion of American Idols Clarkson, the inaugural Idol winner, returned to the stage Thursday night to christen the final season’s top 10 contestants. She served as a guest judge for the bulk of the evening, later bringing the audience to tears with an emotional rendition of the song, which was written as a mesage to her father and husband. “It’s just a touching song for me, because I wrote it about my little girl when I was pregnant, and now I’m pregnant with my little boy,” Clarkson said. “I’m pregnant and it’s nostalgic and I can’t believe it’s the last season.” It was announced last May that this season, Idol’s 15th, would be the last for the singing competition. Read what former alums are up to here, and check out performances from Thursday night’s show. The series finale will air April 7. www.ew.com/article/2016/02/26/kelly-clarkson-piece-by-piece-no-1-idol

I cannot handle this at all right now, I never ever could have imagined something like this. But this is how it works with Kelly, the appeal and interest is still there, all it takes is the right spark to get things going! Who knows where this will all go but it sure is nice!

RCA is probably freaking out right now. I did notice the deluxe album price was lowered from $12.99 to $9.99 in the past couple hours.

Also side note: The deep husky tone she's sporting in that performance is GOLD. That happened to Xtina after her pregnancies and her lower register is better than ever these days. Hopefully that means we'll be hearing more of it in the future!

I wonder if it would have been just as effective and have this reaction if she hadn't done the stripped down version.

Who ever in a million years would've guessed at this time yesterday that KC would be #1 on iTunes today and have nearly 30 million views of the performance in less than a day.
Plus dethroning Work right after the video came out!

What kind of Billboard placement can we start hoping for? This may outsell everything by atleast double in the next day or two. Combine with her streaming and YouTube views she is really racking up points! When does the period end? Sunday? That is the only thing that will hurt her, if she only has a day or two.

I'm 95% Facebook video views don't count for the Hot 100 - do live performances on YouTube even count?
EDIT: I did notice the views for the PBP music video were about 2.7 mil last night now its just over 3 million.

Well I was wrong about Facebook streams, they don't count to the Hot 100 which means virtually all of her streaming is worthless since most of it is coming through Facebook. ETA: The Youtube streams of the performance should count, but since all the traffic is being routed elsewhere her streaming is gonna suck.
