From HitPredictor:
Kelly Clarkson’s latest maybe be titled “Walk Away”, but it’ll be running to the top of the Mainstream Top 40 Charts. “Walk Away” is all alone at Mainstream this week, with an 83.8, and is the 5th track off of the Grammy nominated “Breakaway” to achieve HP status at the Mainstream Top 40 format.

this will just peak in the 20's unless the American Idol fanatics who seems to be built in supporters requests this fanatically on radio.

I can't possibly see a song with Kelly's name on it peaking in the 20's. It doesn't hurt that she has the fourth largest bullet two weeks before the add date.

This song is still two weeks from its adds date and BOY is still at #3. This song is doing great! It's only on 72 stations so far and NYC is still playing "Gone," so hopefully we'll see them switch over soon.
#37, 212 bullet, 9.719 AI #3 on Taking Off chart #4 on Jump chart
And American Idol fanatics are the only ones that will support this song? Wow, someone has been under a rock if you think Kelly hasn't tripled or quadrupled her fanbase since AFTER American Idol. Her album sales and top 20 status for more than a year reflects that.

Kelly is rarely associated with American Idol anymore. She is far beyond that by now and I'd think anyone on this board would realize that. This song is going top 10 at the very least.

Ratings from Billboard Radio Monitor's Hit Preditor: Walk Away = 83.8Because of You = 82.8 Behind These Hazel Eyes = 71.6 Breakaway = 69.9 Since U Been Gone = 65.5 Other interesting ratings... Dance Dance = 82.5 Dirty Little Secret = 76.1 Don't forget about us = 68.6 L.O.V.E. = 67.8 When I'm Gone (Eminem) = 65.3 Photograph = 65.2

HitPredictor is a good sign, but i've seen quite a few songs that got high ratings on there but then flopped on radio. Also, take a look at how relatively low SUBG's rating was, and we all know how huge that song became.
I just want stations to stop playing "Gone". This might turn into another "Don't Lie"/"My Humps" situation if they're unlucky (although unlike the BEP, this is partly on the label for putting Gone up on all access)

I'm sure the stations that are still playing "Gone" will switch over to "Walk Away" once the add date of the 17th is upon us.

I don't know how much I would go off of Hit Predictor considering that "SUBG" had one of their lowest ratings. I hope they are right on "Walk Away" though, I think they are.

HUGE songs like "Photograph", "Don't Forget About Us", "Breakaway" and "Since U Been Gone" can't even crack a 70??? Is "Because Of You" any better or any worse than any of these songs? Of course NOT! Notice the trend with Kelly's songs??? The numbers have gotten progressively higher... It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that her last two songs are really high mostly due to how hugely popular Kelly is now... Kelly could put out an awful song right now and it would break 70 or maybe even 80 on the Hit Predictor... Her fans are going to give her high numbers no matter what she puts out... You can say the same thing for my fav, Carrie Underwood... she got HUGE numbers on the hit predictor (in the 80's) with "Inside Your Heaven" despite it being probably the worst song on her album... if she'd put out something really good after AI, I wouldn't doubt it would have scored in the 90's.

Wow....that's one of the most ignorant predictions I've heard in awhile. Agreed... A very uniformed post... though I do agree Kelly's supporters will request this fanatically on the radio- many solely because it's Kelly... Where WA deserves to end up peaking and where it will end up peaking are two COMPLETELY different things... The first 4 singles are great tracks and were huge hits... WA is merely above average... The best comparison I can come up with is when they released Avril Lavigne's "Losing Grip" to pop... it's just a slightly above average song... from an album that had spawned 3 huge #1 hits... it really deserved to peak in the low 20's to upper 30's if even that high, but it managed to get to #17... It got a ton of adds early, but after only about 7 weeks on the chart it peaked... and it fell VERY quickly... I predict Kelly's song will have a similar fate... a lot of adds early and a peak probably right around 9-10... it will be also drop a lot faster than any of her other 4 hits...

"Losing Grip" didn't have a video, which hurt it. Kelly's will, so I think that will impact it positively.
EDIT: It did have a video. Nevermind.
I'm thinking of another song that she released that didn't have a video that was released and did poorly. But I can't think of it's name.

Re Since You've Been Gone's rating, in the idol promotion thread Splitchick mentioned Dr.Luke saying RCA would do the necessary to make the song a hit so that could also be one reason why it's rating was relatively low compared to how big a hit it turned out to be.

I think Doc made that comment when SUBG was stuck for 4 weeks at #2 behind Green Day and we worried that it would never have a chance to hit #1. Then RCA started its push, but I don't think they ever expected it to last as long as it did.
WA's bullet made a nice jump! #2 on the Taking Off chart #5 on the Jump chart, on only 86 stations

The more I listen to this, the more I think it is worthy of #1. I don't think it is just an average song, it is far above average when looking at the current songs on the chart.

This is another one of those Kelly Clarkson jams that gets way better when you crank up the volume. Top 3 at least.

*waves @ #1 on Billboard Hot 100* Well, in that case, (if your going by the Hot 100) this is about as above average as the distance from the Earth to the moon.

This song is, blech. I love Kelly, but I wish she would have released 'Gone'. It would have been a safer choice and we all know it would have gone to #1 easier then this will.

I love Addicted and Gone, but after the downer of Because of You, she needed to put out something fun, spiky and cute like Walk Away.
Who knows, we might get Addicted as a final single.
