The bullet is going up, up, up! I think the song has jumped a position almost every day this week and it will again tomorrow.

I wish this was doing even better, but I think the song is strong enough and the songs at the top crappy enough that this will ultimately get into that top5.

This sounds like the type of song that would be huge on downloads.

I doubt it will do well in downloads. BOY didn't do nearly as good as previous singles and this won't do nearly as good as BOY, simply because alot of people already have the album and don't see a point in downloading the single again.

True, but this may have a little more appeal to the rhythmic/urban side than her four previous singles just because it is more upbeat so she could get quite a few downloads from that, but yeah I doubt it will do any better than anything previous, but she still will probably sell enough to make top 10.

^Yep. I think BOY peaked at #6 on the download chart so this should manage Top 10.

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 couldn't disagree more. Honestly, for me, from the first listen of the album, WA really jumped out at me as a standout track. Great energy, and really different from anything at pop radio right now!

It's #33 this afternoon and the bullet jumped up to 402... it was 282 yesterday morning.
Ragin, its Adds date is still more than a week away. So it seems to be doing pretty good to me.
I've always thought "Gone" was typical John Shanks... very cookie cutter pop. Let Ashlee sing that. Kelly can express the attitude needed for WA.

This is doing great!
I don't see it having a problem doing better then BOY on Downloads, it's more upbeat and you usually see such upbeat songs doing great on downloads.

After being a little concerned at first and only predicting a top 10, I'm really beginning to think this has what it takes to go to #1! Once again, nothing behind it to hold it back, but I always say that and then some song explodes and takes over Kelly's well deserved spot (Mariah - she shouldn't be a problem this time around though)

Yeah, but so far it hasn't done a whole lot, if the bullet started going up to like +400 then I would consider it as a possible threat.

A lot of the big spike in spins this past week is because a lot of stations played their year-end countdowns last Saturday and Sunday... and this song made very few year-end top 100 countdowns on the radio stations... so, this big jump was to be expected.

Great energy, and really different from anything at pop radio right now! I agree. It's definitely one of the standouts, and one of her most soulful vocals to date. It's also her most mature uptempo to date. Releasing Gone would've been a step back for her.

So far I think all of Kelly's singles have been released very well, every song was different, she had two ballads, two pop/rock tracks, and now an upbeat song. I think "Walk Away" will do much better than if "Gone" was released because it is different from anything else on the album and it has more appeal, "Gone" is a great song, but it is kind of repetitive of what she has already done with "SUBG" and "BTHE."

Up to #31 today! Bullet = 690 AI = 15.614
#1 on taking Off Chart!
Agreed!
Plus, Kelly co-wrote "Walk Away"... I'll always cheer for one of her own songs to be released rather than someone else's. It continues to define her as an artist.

I agree, "Gone" is a bit like SUBG and BTHE but it was my favorite when I first heard the album. "Walk Away" is one of the ones I was not as impressed with, compared to the others, so this one worries me. I knew the four others were very solid. If not "Gone," I would have preferred "Addicted," since it's "different" than the others in a way, but I admit, if it does seem like other songs, it would be "Because of You" and "Hear Me," so maybe it is right not to release it after "Because of You." I like "Walk Away," but I never really warmed up to it. It seems kinda generic to me, although I hope everyone loves it and God, if it got to number one, I'd be the first to jump and down about it. I'm hoping for the best on this one.

I think you'll have a lot of competition for being the first one to jump up and down about it if, I mean, when it makes #1!
I really think this will go #1, if it doesn't it would be a big mistake, this is what I consider "true" Pop music. I hope her bullet gets to +1000 by the end of the week, I think it's a good possibility. I've loved every single off this album and I think this may end up being my favorite when all is said and done.

I think Walk Away is a terrific single, and one of the best "radio singles" on the album. I personally think it's far superior to Gone (which I've never really cared for much), but it's interesting to read the different opinions about this. Music is so subjective.
