I was very underwhelmed by this when I first heard it, but it's growing on me.
One thing I don't like about a lot of her recorded tracks is she uses this airy voice and it sounds really generic to me. She's one of those people that sound better live. She holds back A LOT in the studio.

Great adds!
Does anyone know if this will be top 50 on Pop soon? I hope it can do better than Nobody Love.
The quality of the song is much better.

I like this, it's catchy! Better than her previous single for me.

Off to a good start! I wish "Nobody Love" had done better though.

Id rather this be her breakout hit amyway. Nobody Love had good vocals but the song did nothing for me.
Id like to see Dear No One get a proper release too.

WOW at that update. Is that the same deal Nobody Love had at the beginning or is it genuine radio support?

There's definitely something up here though, as virtually all the format leaders are Cumulus stations - and they've all played it almost the same # of times. But I have no idea if it's a structured promo deal (aka something that will vanish soon) or Cumulus making a long-term commitment to this song.

I can definitely hear the JoJo comparisons here, mainly during the chorus.

I only hope the label had a better plan this time, pushing the song on radio won't work if sales don't sustain that push, so they better have something planned

It seems like it's been a while since a label has pushed a new artist this hard at the very start. I'm kinda surprised that Nobody Love never really took off. Hopefully this song will catch on and she'll become a household name, because this girl is so much better live than all of the other females that pop radio is spinning. That performance @ the Billboard Music Awards was amazing!

But it's not going to work if they are not able to do better with timing this time. It's pretty obvious they are pushing this to radio, i hope they learned a couple of things with what happened with Nobody love.

Still has yet to hit the Hot 100, but still, hoping this'll do as well as NL.

It seems like it's been a while since a label has pushed a new artist this hard at the very start. this! what happened with Nobody Love tho? i didn't follow closely. It didn't develop an organic rapport with the majority of programmers. Once the iHeart On the Verge deal ended, it pretty much died. The thing people keep mentioning regarding timing is that the biggest TV promo - Tonight Show, RDMA, BBMA - came after the song was dead at radio. Sales may not have been as terrible as some are saying, but they weren't special and definitely didn't convince radio that this was deserving of more than a Top 20 hit. Truth is, though, that the sales thing seemed as much about the song as it did the promo (and I say that as a huge fan of the song). Even with all that hype for the Billboards, in which she was generally considered the show stealer, I don't think the song went higher than 30 or so on iTunes (granted, she did an acoustic version on the show, but still - if people LOVED the song after hearing it, they'd have bought it).

thanks a lot for the explanation, kanimal! :) it just looked like she got loads of great promo that didn't entirely pay off, and now it makes more sense as you point out the bad timings etc.
and regarding the song, yeah i wasn't that crazy about it either (didn't buy it on itunes) - it's kinda nice to hear it on the radio but i don't think i'd seek it out for a listen. and if a lot of people are like me...:/ hopefully this second try will work out!
