Ashlee expert-"It got to #86 on the Hot 100 after it peaked on Pop, due to downloads. It wasn't a huge download hit but did pretty good. If it wasn't for downloads it would have never debuted."
I maintain that I think if downloads were as developed as they are today, Lala would have been a huge downloads hit and peaked much, much higher (in downloads of course) But thats all speculation. Either way, I dont think I would say Boyfriend was a huge hit without qualifying the statement-decent downloads hit, airplay, disappointing.
What is its official peak as of now in airplay? I know its at 24-25 now, but didnt it finish a week at 22 or something?

Where did "La La" peak on Chr/Pop?

All of her singles deserved more success(excluding 'Pieces Of Me' of course).

Why was "Shadow" such a huge flop! It only got to #57 on the Hot 100.... I thought it was really radio friendly....

Lala peaked at #28 on Pop. Which is only a few spots lower than Boyfriend-which I acknowledged. Airplaywise, I dont think anyone can say Boyfriend is a WAY BIGGER hit than Lala. What you hear in your area is not necessarily true for the entire country.

Shadow was good but it got bored after a while. L.O.V.E. gets annoying if it's heard two times in a row

I just saw that "Shadow" got to #15 on Pop! That is not a Pop flop in my book.
How did it peak so low on the Hot 100!

If Boyfriend flopped (which I have to say is one of the best songs melodically next to Pieces of Me in her entire 2-disc library), this does not have a chance.
Mr. Simpson has some explaining to do with his management for Ashlee, Jessica, and Ryan Cabrera. All of his stars are pumping out immediately new shit that is flopping, and his eldest daughter is apparently covering up her divorce for his sake. Jessica's new attitude is gonna put her in a hole as well. Some terrible decisions are being made here.

L.O.V.E. will be the final nail in the coffin for her. That is song is garbage. It's a shame, too, becuase the album is good.

I really supported Ashlee despite her lack of talent because I have liked several of the songs she's recorded but I really hope this completely bombs. It's just hideous.

This is not single material. I hope they change it, and don't listen to her stupid fans. JK but I doubt they'll change it

I like the chorus, but the verses are horrid.

Didn't "Shadow" start bombing around the time of SNL? I seem to remember that that's when the huge losses started coming.

I actually thought Shadow was underperforming, but then SNL came along and it REALLY collapsed lol.

She isn't playing this on the second leg of the, 'I Am Me,' promo tour. I would think she would perform the cd's second single?

That night, she was supposed to be premiering her third single, Autobiography. That's the song the band starts playing before the backing track starts singing Pieces Of Me. She performed Autobiography at the RMAs, but it got pulled as a single shortly after. They replaced it with La La. And that definately suffered from the SNL backlash. So Boyfriend is her second post-backlash single.

According to Muchmusic she'll be shooting the video in a few weeks, and she wants a female director.
Im not sure about this, I feel like "Boyfriend" will be over by then, and she'll lose any momentum she's built up, and this will flop hard.

This is doing really well download wise considering it was just announced as a single.

I think ideally, it would be anywhere from the last two weeks of november to the first week of december.
