Finally bought it and gave it a listen and it is simply sublime. She is absolutely toying with my emotions this era with this sudden resurgence in relevancy.
C'mon, top 10!

Catching up from the past 24 hours this am: WOW ! I'm super-excited about this remix album, especially my 2 favourite songs, 'Tears' and 'Someone'. As I have not seen any iTunes banner or iTunes advertisement of the new 'Piece' song, I am impressed that it continues to sell solely based on a single performance 4 days ago and FB/social media dissemination, where it has been #1 since Friday morning, and will certainly be the Billboard #1 Digital Song for the week. This might be the most memorable live performance on Idol in all of its 15 seasons. Honestly, I would not have predicted even a top 30 placement of the song after her Idol performance, and certainly would not have predicted holding its peak position after even 12 hours, lol.
Selfishly, I have been disappointed that my favourite KC album to-date has been her least commercially successful album, and as much as I would love for the album to reach 500k copies, I am pretty doubtful of that since she physically will be out of commission till at least fall. I want the public to hear some of my favourite songs on the record. Regardless, I do hope that RCA purchases a banner spot on iTunes this Friday for the remix album release to get the word out.
This story reminds me of Chris Stapleton's path in the past year, where a phenomenal live performance went viral and revived a commercial "flop" album, putting him on the radar. Like Adele and Chris, Kelly is receiving stellar critical and now commercial success with little effort, which is all the more impressive in the 15th year of her career.
In the grand scheme of things, the unexpected success of this KC-penned song comes at a great time: as she will be attending to her personal life even moreso in the coming months with a new baby, she should have greater artistic leverage as she negotiates a new record deal.

Now that this has sunk in this is truly a dream come true for Kelly and her fans.
I remember tearing up the first time I heard the song and it's so nice to see that a LOT of people can relate and appreciate it as well.
More people are seeing what kind of artist and person she has always been. Great time to be a fan indeed.

^^ How is the Idol version not yet cannibalizing sales from the album version ? I would have expected the album version to be falling hard by now....

Do we know whether the original studio version is also getting serviced to Pop radio? Or just the Idol version? Yes, there are 3 versions serviced to pop radios, Radio Version, Album Version and Idol Version.

is the Idol version purely selling on Social Media posts? I can't believe Kelly has 2 versions of the same song in the top 10, what kind of pop star?! it's amazing to see and glad she is well enough to do some more promo for it

There is no any banner to release a new version so almost people don't know the fact that this one has been released. However, now this is #8 on iTunes chart!!!! #viraleffects

I'm super surprised and excited she's doing Ellen, that is the PERFECT demographic for this song.
But even more, I'm so excited all of this success is from one of her own songs, that these decisions all seem to be on her terms, that she's 7+months pregnant and is slaying the world with her voice, and now that one of her crowning achievements in writing is getting the recognition it deserves, she's ready to ride out the rest of this era in style.
I would love to get another single, but the fact we get an album of remixes (AND LIVE TIGHTROPE OMG) and this huge public interest in her song, voice, and story, makes me happy enough.
(I'll still always root for "Take You High" though)
What a ride.

All I Ever Wanted - never certified! Don't forget about this one! Wrapped In Red - 1xp I don't understand the reason why RCA additional certficates for previous singles including All I Ever Wanted era. She has two 3 million singles ; Since U Been Gone and My Life Would Suck Without You and other 2 million singles but they are still undercertified.

I'm actually amazingly excited for Tightrope live. Remembering how great Beautiful Disaster live is - could be on that level.

Kelly is going to go nuts. Not only is one of her idols, Bonnie Raitt going to be on the show, but Zooey Deschanel is on too. Kelly has tweeted about how she loves Zooey's duo She & Him. It's going to be so great.

Question for anyone: how often does this happen, where two versions of the same song (studio album, live, remix, etc.) are both in the Top 10 ? When was the last time ? I want to say it happened for Katy once or twice, when she had the remixes for E.T. and Last Friday Night. Otherwise it's not very common, I think? But there must be someone who would know for sure...ask in the iTunes thread, if you have not already. Occasionally it happens when someone's album comes out, and there is a 'single' and an 'album' track. In these instances the 'single' and 'album' versions are the exact same and labels tend to pull the single so that all the sales transfer over to the album track. So that isn't really a good example for what you're asking. Also note that every example I am giving you does involve an active single with airplay - Kelly's situation truly is unique, in that Piece By Piece was dead before this.

It's kind of amazing how much music she SELLS. She has never been a streaming artist, and her airplay has suffered as much as it's succeeded since AIEW. It's really rare to have an artist that's almost purely sales in 2016. RCA has to be very happy.
EDIT: Is this her first ballad single since Already Gone? How is that possible?

#2 and #6 now with a massive bullet for the Idol version, with Ellen in just 2 days. The album remains in the Top 10, and the 'Piece' music video in the Top 5. Could this version hit #1 by tonight ? Could we have both versions in the Top 3 or Top 5 ? How well will the album hold up ? How well will the remix sell ? Will there be an iTunes banner for the album ? Stay tuned !!
