Why do stations hold on to the old singles so much?!? Not just Kelly, but for other artists they leave them on for a long time. SUBG and BTHE are o-v-e-r, and "Gone" isn't even a single. Speaking of, it's not on Y100's playlist yet (although I bet they added it this week), and I still hear BOY constantly. Blame the conglomerates such as Clear Channel... they don't allow songs to progress naturally up and down the charts... Personally, I like "Gone" better, but that's me...

^ Imagine if every single station stopped playing Kelly's songs and gave "Walk Away" all those spins? It would have a bullet of over 11000. Seriously, how insane are her spins when you do the math?

First Billboard loved "Walk Away," and now... Top 40 - About.comKelly Clarkson - Walk Away From Bill Lamb 4 and a half stars (out of 5) The Bottom LineOne of the most impressive things about "Walk Away," the new single from Kelly Clarkson, is that this is the 5th single from her smash album Breakaway. By this time, typically, the artist is beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel to wrestle one last hit. This single is one of the best songs from the album.Pros: Kelly Clarkson rocks again Classic pop-rock style Illustrates her versatility Cons: Difficult to find a real negative here Description: Throbbing bass Anthemic chorus A vocal request to demonstrate commitment by action not just words Guide ReviewAfter spawning 4 major top 10 singles ("Breakaway," "Since U Been Gone," "Behind These Hazel Eyes," and "Because of You") and spending 60 weeks in the top 20 of the pop albums chart, you might expect the album Breakaway to be running out of steam, but then along comes the 5th single "Walk Away." It is a pop-rock anthem that may not quite reach the status of "Since U Been Gone" but rivals any of the album's other singles in quality."Walk Away" is one of 5 collaborations with studio MVP Kara DioGuardi from the album and the first to be released as a single. DioGuardi has become one of the most sought after songwriter/producers playing key roles on hits from Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me" to Lindsay Lohan's "Confessions of a Broken Heart." For additional insurance Canadian couple Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida, frequent Avril Lavigne collaborators, assisted on "Walk Away." Kelly Clarkson is arguably the most talented vocalist and song interpreter DioGuardi has worked with, and she drives home the song's insistence on romantic commitment with grit and style. Clarkson has said "Walk Away" is her Annie Lennox-type song, and her singing here does bear some resemblance to Lennox' gut-bucket approach to rock-oriented songs, particularly in a nearly a capella passage just past the song's midpoint. Look for this single to be in the pop top 10 soon.

Isn't "Walk Away" one of the Chantal K./Raine Maida songs? Kara DioGuiardi did some of the other tracks, but not this one I believe. Speaking of, it's gonna be huge in Canada since the writers/producers are CanCon

Apparently Kelly wrote the treatment for this one as well, but that's all I've heard.

according to Kelly's friend the video shoot is scheduled for the end of this month. BTHE and BOY videos were both late as well, but the songs did amazingly well without them. I'm sure WA will be no different.

Thanks for the video info, wonder what it'll be like.
Oh well this will go Top 10 even if it didn't have one.

I still think it's gonna go top 10 no matter what... as a number cruncher, I like to ALWAYS look deeper in the numbers... and there seem to be some interesting trends... and I will get hate mail I think even though I am just reporting facts. :(
I did some analysis of the top 20 "most increased spins" for the week...
ARTIST/Track/Net Gain/# On/(T20 +/0/-) NE-YO So Sick +1141 132 13/1/6 BEYONCE Check On It f/Slim Thug +1042 135 16/0/4 NELLY Grillz (f/Paul Wall, Ali&Gipp) +1008 122 16/3/1 KELLY CLARKSON Walk Away +885 124 9/2/9 BLACK EYED PEAS Pump It +861 130 16/1/3 EMINEM Shake That (F\Nate Dogg) +778 117 14/0/6 GWEN STEFANI Crash +676 63 19/1/0 FALL OUT BOY Dance, Dance +636 134 14/0/6 NATASHA BEDINGFIELD Unwritten +544 135 15/2/3 JAMES BLUNT You're Beautiful +498 80 16/2/2 ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS Dirty Little Secret +408 137 11/2/7 RAY J One Wish +373 129 14/0/6 JUELZ SANTANA There It Go (The Whistle Song) +371 131 17/2/1 MARY J. BLIGE Be Without You +362 48 18/0/2 CASCADA Everytime We Touch +341 97 15/0/5 RELIENT K Who I Am Hates Who I've Been +294 125 13/2/5 T-PAIN I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper) +268 37 18/1/1 CHRIS BROWN Yo (Excuse Me Miss) +245 33 14/1/3* (only 18 stations with 7+ spins) STAIND Right Here +215 65 12/1/7 SAVING JANE Girl Next Door 12/4/4
What these numbers really show is that (not surprisingly) the songs individual leaders are giving almost all of the songs more spins than they were last week... Kelly's song being the lone exception, as it's losing spins on the same number of stations (9) as it's gaining spins on (9) amongst the 20 stations playing "Walk Away" the most... Needless to say, this is not a good sign for the chart longevity of this song... On the other hand, Gwen Stefani's "Crash" is up at 19 of the 20 stations (flat on the other), while Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" & T-Pain's "I'm N Luv" are up at 18 of their top 20 stations, which bodes well for the immediate future of these 3 songs... look for these 3 to really pick up in spins the next few weeks...

Thanks for the info John. :(
I still think this will go top 10 once "BOY" gets out of the way, stop playing "BOY!" - that is something I normally wouldn't say about Kelly, but I really want "WA" to do well. Her bullet is still +689, even though it is slowly dropping I still think she'll manage to hold above +500 for the next few weeks at least.
Is it just me or does the chart seem better, but the greatest gainers seem worse. Kelly is the only artist in the top 6 greatest gainers who is not urban/rhythmic leaning. In the whole top 20, 11 of the greatest gainers are rhythmic/urban, 4 pop songs (including Gwen and Cascada), and 5 rock/hot ac songs. Pretty sucky imo, I know apparently winter is a bit more urban/rhythmic leaning, but isn't every other season basically the same way?

Thanks! I'm surprised both BOY and WA are doing so well at the same time and that BOY is still holding up and not blocking so many spins.

#22 Bullet = 689 AI = 22.332
Will go top 20 probably tomorrow.
BOY's only losing 262 spins right now; Mariah's DFAU is dropping three times that much (760) and will fall below BOY in the next couple of days. Gwen's Luxurious is losing more than 1200 spins now. So BOY is having much more staying power than the others.

It climbs to No. 78 on the Hot 100! I hope it becomes her 5th consecutive Top 10 hit. :)

I'm not SO worried. Early after the adds date of BOY, the bullet of this song was down to +500-600, and then it exploded.

This is looking better, I still think she'll manage another back to back top 10 hit with this. The problem is that there is a lot of junk in front of her that may hurt her chances.

Yep, junk and "Because of You", which isn't junk but is still in front of her and can hurt her chances.
Top 20 is great. I just want all the old crap to drop so this and my other fav songs can go top 10!

I'm happy this song is doing well :). It's not my favourite from the album (I do prefer this to Gone though) but it sounds different from her other singles and I hope it keeps the album selling.

I'm starting to be convinced that this will make it into the Top 10 before BOY falls out. That's just insane (in a good way, of course).
