Yeah, the video is too weird. They should have just put Michelle there. Nobody will know who that blond shadow is. Plus, there's not one spot where you can decipher Jessica's voice... just let this be Michelle's. |

I'm still bored to death of "The Game of Love".

Very disappointed in this song and video. I expected a lot more from Santana on the first single. Honestly, if this is the best on the album, he'll be lucky to go platinum. The Game of Love was a much better song. This may not even do that well on HotAC. There are many new songs that are better than this. I even prefer the Nickleback song to this and that's saying a lot from me (not a Nickleback fan).

I think the song Rob Thomas wrote for Mary J. Blige is the best song on the album. It was supposed to be the lead single but Mary wouldn't allow it because her single is coming out in the next month.

But didn't they intend on releasing the first single months ago, and shot this video in like... May?

Have you heard this song yet? It's my understanding that Big Boi had most of the song written and Rob "tweaked" it. Well, he may have done more than tweak it but I think Big Boi started it off. They wrote the song together without actually meeting. Weird! |

The first single was supposed to be out over the spring. Some of these songs have been recorded for a year or more.

But if they had first intended the Mary song to be the first single, but couldn't cause it conflicted with Mary's single which is released in a month from now, what was the problem with releasing the Mary single back in the spring when they shot the video to "I'm Feelin' You"? |

Mary's album was also pushed back. Her first single was supposed to be out over the summer and if "My Man" was a big hit, it would have conflicted.

The bullet is all the way down to +24 and it didn't even make the Top 40. Mary pushed her album back like a whole year. They need to send out the Mary and Big Boi song!

The album is due out November 1. I would assume another single is due before that time then... Or maybe not. I forget that Nov 1st is closer than I think. |

The song is doing fine at AC and Hot AC, so I'd assume they're comfortable with that.

Oh-it seemed like its bullet dropped a lot at Hot Ac since last time I checked (last weekish) and I dont see it top 20 at Ac so I assumed it was underperforming a tad there as well.

It's the fourth greatest gainer at Hot AC and in the Top 10 greatest gainers at AC.

I dont think that makes it a hit though **shrugs**
Ive seen songs be on the greatest gainer lists before and not be a hit. I think you have to look at where it peaks/spins more than it hits a greatest gainer, especially in AC/HOt Ac where things are slow. Remember, it hit the greatest gainer list on Pop as well.
But, it is too soon to call it a FLOP on those formats-a flop on pop and undecided on Hot Ac and Ac. Maybe just an underperformance.

This is really sad, #45 +27, this song isn't that bad, it at least deserves top 30!

At this point, I think it's his own fault. If you release a song with an artist you've already released a single with, make it sound really similar to that original song, and make a CRAPPY video, failure (or "underperformance") shouldn't be surprising.

After listening to his album though, his choices were this and "My Man" with Mary and Big Boi. Considering he couldn't release "My Man," his choice was to risk it or bomb.

Looks like the bullet has picked up on Pop and Hot Ac-still think it will underperform though. I still want the Mary song to be the second single and as soon as possible, hehe.
Oh and its been on Itunes for a long time now-its just not selling very well. Right now, I dont even see it in the top 100 (but I may have missed it, because it would surprise me that its not even in the top 100 **eyebrow** )
