It certainly has had great TV exposure and has always got a good bounce after people hear it- up to #23 after Ellen- and hopefully higher tomorrow. The problem has been radio havent picked it up and played it enough to keep it in the public eye (ear!) and keep the momentum. So I dont think its just 'down to the song', for whatever reason radio havent been adding it or spinning it enough. Maybe they think it lies somewhere in between Pop and HAC??.... What I mean is that...Columbia got the radio support deal. It got her high-profile appearances to build buzz and sales data (almost *too* many of them - to the point that I wonder if favors are being called in). There's virtually nothing more that can be done, from a promotional/PR standpoint, to build interest in this song. If fans don't request and radio programmers don't go out of their way to play it, it will not be at all the fault of the promo team. When you say "for whatever reason," the "whatever reason" would have something to do with the song. Even your example -- maybe it lies somewhere in between Pop and HAC -- is about the song itself. Not about a lack of promo. Not about a lack of label support. Again, there is NO reason whatsoever to believe this won't end its run as a hit. I don't think we need to worry. All I'm saying is that this song is getting every chance in the world to be that hit, so it better deliver.

4 Hot AC adds, but one of them is the biggest Hot AC add you can get--WWFS, which is one of the two Hot AC stations in New York City.

Great performance. I do wish she was able to move around the stage though.

She has a really solid voice. I love her tone and the little nuances she does when singing.

I assume making the top 10 on iTunes automatically gets some radio play?-- i.e. some shows just play a countdown of the top 10 or 20??? [like the UKs Vodafone Big Top 40).

No, there's nothing like that in the states. There is something that loosely bases itself off the top 20, but it omits a lot of songs randomly, has a weird re-order of them, and airs on, like, three monitored stations, so it doesn't ever have an effect. However, the top ten on iTunes gives the song exposure on iTunes' front page, so more people will discover the song.

Looks like it's now peaked after The Voice bump and will no doubt start dropping until if or when it gets a lot more radio plays. over to you radio! (Ella is back in the UK for a charity gig with Take That tonight, then back to the U.S. For more promo., then back in UK for single #3 launch next week, busy schedule for an 18 yr old!)
