She needs to go to Ellen, and a few other places to seal the deal. Unless she's still in LA, she really can't be traveling anymore... So I don't think we're going to see any major promotion in terms of appearances, unfortunately.

I could easily see Ellen talking about the performance, that's about as far as anything will go at this point ;(

I do feel, however, that promoting this too much could adversely impact the impact... lol... if that makes sense. I think releasing a ballad version is just enough. If she were to go on a bunch of shows and perform it, it could be seen as a little opportunistic and that could take away from its emotional impact. I doubt that would ever happen, but it's just a thought.

HOLY SHIT! 200K off of one performance!?!
I am so happy this is still #1 but where is the new version? Releasing it while the song begins to decline on the charts isn't in their best interest. It should be out like now!

A lot of people think it will be released tomorrow and probably be done on Seacrest's show. No confirmation but makes sense. I don't think waiting until Monday is a bad idea. Releasing it today would just be throwing it out there and hoping word spreads. You have to give this some kind of push to have word spread. I think since most people that heard the song on Idol want that version they will buy it again no problem. If not, no big deal, it will add to her totals anyway and I know all of us fans will be buying it for sure.

what if they release the ballad version and it's not so emotional than the performance? will it rise or fall then?

Well, the studio version, while I love it, is nowhere near as emotional as the Idol performance and it's selling like crack. I'm not too worried about the stripped version, like a lot have said, it'll be closer to the performance, and with the right kick it could soar.

What, you want her to mimic what happened during the live performance, with the stops and getting choked up and all? There's no duplicating that kind of moment. But I will be getting the ballad recording, regardless. :)

But I will be getting the ballad recording, regardless. :) I'm fairly certain that Kelly's emotions will come through even on studio version. You don't replicate that kind of live 'magic' performance in studio, but she certainly has ability to convey the feeling. Considering how much emotion she has with the song - even in rehearsals it was overwhelming. You just don't turn that off completely. This new version will be huge.

This will go down as one of the biggest "moments" in Kelly's career.

Oh, no doubt, denverd.
Do we know if she recorded a performance for the Idol finale in April?

how is it outselling Rihanna by so much yet only 10k more copies ? Friday through Thursday is the H100 tracking period for both sales and streaming. For that same chart, radio airplay tracking starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. So if radio jumps on this tomorrow, it'll have a full week of airplay points to figure into the mix. She's recorded the stripped down version this weekend, so fingers crossed. The huge lead PBP has had since Friday is getting smaller, so I think they are predicting Work to relinquish #1 and even things out during the 2nd half of the tracking week (Monday or Tuesday through Thursday). Work is working its way back to the top now. We'll see what happens. Regardless, if those sales figures hold up, it'll be hugely impressive and very likely another H100 top 10 for Kelly based on sales alone... add in streaming and it's guaranteed.

One thing to remember is that I don't think Kworb made his predictions using any estimates of how the piano version will do. So even if it sells only an extra 25,000 copies then that is on top of the 199,000 already predicted. :). Of course, this is all assuming the version is released this week.

Did Kworb combine the album version and radio mix in that estimate?

Who would have ever believed the era could have been resurrected to this magnitude? Not me. Hell I remember at the beginning of the era worrying that this song would turn people off because of the way she slams her s**tty dad.

hardly think it will resurrect the era considering kelly won't be doing any promo and its already fading on itunes. in my opinion kelly really missed the strike while the iron is hot by not releasing it the night of idol in all digital formats with audio and combo throwing in the video as a package in one. like others have the studio version will be missing that emotion. it would have been doing a multi-track recording and recorded right of the mixers on the console.

I'm now certain this should have been the second single . And instead of performing heartbeat song on idol last year , it should've been this . I bet the album would've sold a lot more and we would've gotten a promoted third single

Look at ya'll complaining about a missed opportunity.
Kelly is still #1 on itunes, something no one would of ever believed was possible a few days ago. Enjoy it and be glad she's even recording another version of the song. Why do we always want more, more, more.
The fact of the matter is the performance has sold the song. Releasing a version straight after idol would of looked opportunistic and that's the whole reason why people are praising the song - because it was all about the moment and the stars aligning. She came on, completely delivered and showed how genuine and against the general nature of the industry she is.
So be happy - this is her best selling week digitally since WDKY. It's an incredible achievement.

I'm just so happy that a Kelly-written song is getting this much attention.
Now go revive "Sober" please and thank you :)

I'm very happy about what's going on and love Kelly getting so much acclaim for this which is why it would've been cool earlier in the era as well because the album would've had longer legs and maybe even could've gotten more performances like this with other songs

Let me go on Twitter and clock that Guardian reviewer who ripped the song in his album review.
