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. The H100 tracking period for sales and streaming starts today and ends on Thursday. We'll have a better idea after the weekend, by Tuesday or Wednesday, how this might fare in terms of a debut.

Jason also deserves major props for being 100% in sync with her when she re-did those lines. Flawless and the strength of their connection is obvious.

In any other circumstance I would like to think RCA would be seizing the moment by getting an acoustic version together, resending album version to radio in the meantime (sales clearly point to the radio mix being a no-go), etc., but we don't even know if RCA is still her label right now - for that matter, RCA might not even know yet. And Sony probably still has its hands full with other PR matters, to be honest. So any push that comes after this I am just going to take as icing on the cake. I said last year that it frustrated me how the album was clearly full of hits and it just did not seem like Kelly or RCA were really interested in pushing it fully, so even if this is it, to have this be the actual close of the era is really nice. Also a huge, huge big ups to Jason is in order for being so in tune with her that he was able to stop and start with her when she started crying and going back to finish lines - which in another sort of full circle moment, reminds me of her BOY Grammy performance when the band had to slow down for her after her extended note on 'same damn thing.' Sign of a true musical pairing between talented people. ( getonthebus beat me to it *shakes fist* )

This chart position is astounding, and her performance was perfect. I 100% want an acoustic piano-only version sent to radio, ASAP.

Can someone tell me what's up with this? This appeared out of nowhere at #1. Kelly performed it on American Idol. People cried, it was very moving, etc. basically it was a glorious and touching moment. The #1 out of nowhere or the song itself? In either case #Bye

Annoying?! I'm all for any example where a live performance alone moves so many people into delving into their pockets and to take notice of a previously overlooked song/album.

It’s almost too close to divine intervention that bitchplease would get banned and this Piece By Piece takeover has happened in the same week.
It’s so odd in the wake of this not to have to read paragraphs written like a four year old, from a person under the psychosis that they are talking to Kelly directly, who tries to throw shade like somebody who can’t even spell shade.
OK, the two aren’t linked, but since talking smack about people who aren’t posters any more isn’t prohibited, I’ll take this opportunity. Bitchplease was a moron. Who not only added nothing to the conversation but actively detracted from it. Discussions would drift into the inane, achievements derailed, and posters just stopped posting. I was one who with a lackluster era and people like bitch sucking up all the oxygen, felt it was better to just leave them to it. There a few like him left, but this is a great step to trying to regain some footing.
And talking about regaining footing, I don’t think anybody could have imagined the impact Kelly would have had last night. Kelly’s excellence as an artist, singer and person seems embedded into people’s heads like the ability to ride a bicycle. Even if it’s not something on experiences for a while, that innate knowledge is there. Nobody is surprised when she comes out and kills, but she thrills or devastates them. I write this as the has nearly racked up thirty million views on Facebook in little more than twelve hours. Exceptional traction, for an exceptional talent. The praise she has got from the internet is unanimously glowing. In a world where people are lucky to get a positive reaction from half people commenting, let’s not overlook that.
So what’s next? I mean if I were Jason I would be remixing Piece By Piece with the original studio vocals, into a piano/strings version and send it to Ryan on Monday with a phoner talking about what happened on Idol last night. I mean it would be great if she could re-record it, but I’m trina be realistic. RCA should do something at least. They can start with getting rid of any trace of the aforementioned already released ‘radio mix’.

I was surprised at how there wasn't another single push when she received the Grammy nominations. Even if she wasn't going to perform, that was great news and perfect excuse to do full support of third single. This is an even better chance of course!! And I'd love it if now is the time Facebook and Billboard can agree on including Fb video views in the H100. It'd make sense to do so after a music video like this, focused on the singing more than any user-generated YouTube video / meme that made songs chart.

This is still so surreal! It's the miracle we've been waiting for since Heartbeat Song went down the charts! I strictly believe that everything happens for a reason. If anything, I hope this motivates Kelly to invest more in her songwriting rather than 'looking for songs she could've written'. I won't push my expectations too high, because this is day one, but I'm so glad that the most important song on this album as well as the album itself are being (re-)recognized as they should've been all along.

I feel like years and years of dying inside to have the chance to lay down a deserved insult without fear of repercussion just poured out of your soul in this moment. I concur.

Oh, and Kelly is gaining so fast right now that she is increasing her lead on Zayn despite him closing the gap between himself and Rihanna :'(

Some react to that revelation better than others.

This makes me very excited for her Country EP/album/whatever. Lyrically, PxP is everything I love about old fashioned country songs, as are so many of her other self-penned songs. Also, let this slay through the weekend, please lord!

What a good performance! I've been a harsh critic of Kelly mostly because her material has been so lackluster for albums now but Piece By Piece was an instant standout from her last album and one of the best songs she's ever recorded so it's great to finally see it get the attention it deserves. It's just written like such an obviously personal song.

I went back and listened to the album version of "Piece by Piece" for the first time since watching that performance, and its production makes it so much less powerful. A stripped down version is what the track needs to standout.
(Even if I was momentarily swayed by the good beat of the radio version. Don't shoot me.)
