They debuted this song on my local radio station last night. After first listen, I got a Kelly "Since You've Been Gone" vibe. But it's still a decent song. But there is NO hook that really draws the audience to the song.

That's the thing. Pink can't take her time unless she re-releases the album and IMO that will ruin that great album. She blew it big time.

She did a really cool performance of this at Radio 1's big weekend in the UK. I've really got into this song song know and think it's great...despite my original feelings towards it.

Great news for WhoKnew in the UK. Yes the UK, because tehre are other countries around the world that love and embrace Pink.
Who Knew has debuted at 13 on the radio, airplays chart.
And it debuted at 11 at UK iTunes. Great VERY promising stuff for Pink there. That's great news for a song that has just debuted on iTunes!

That is great news about the UK. Sort of like what Dr. Luke said, I'm thinking the record company maybe has a plan for the US when it comes to Who Knew. They haven't released the video here yet so she could be doing promo for it when she comes back next month. She's also gonna be performing it on the Today show on July 7th. Maybe it's just me, but it just doesn't make sense that they would forget about us when it comes to the new single but have a summer tour here with plenty of dates.

Another nice jump, BUT is it jumping high enough to even enter the chart? Maybe the label does have a plan for this..... has been added to all the radio stations yet? This may be a slow climber or a huge flop........

It wont enter the charts until it gets 500ish spins-its at 113 right now. If it gains speed, 500+ will be a breeze. But if it only gains 20-30 spins per week, 500 is far, far away. Not all the stations have added it-not even close. I think 30 or under stations have added it while there are 100+ stations.
Im still hoping they resend it for adds-that or have some sort of huge promo push soon.

Well the viddeo could be part of the promo push.
Love Plastic Love, why then did Madonna's sorry chart in the Hot 100 with less spins? Was it because of DL?

Yep-which Who Knew has a chance. I thought you were talking about the pop chart-it will need more spins to chart on the official pop chart that tracks airplay. Downloads will allow it to enter the hot 100 most likely...does anyone know if its getting any downloads??

I still think this will be a surprise hit. There are 18 stations playing the song now according to Mediabase.

Well... last week it was at 6 stations so i don't think it's so bad.

It went for adds though-adds week is normally the best week for a song and 18 total is kind of really, really low still. It needs some huge label help to become a hit (and its possible-its up to the label really)

Well then if the label don't support it, I'm blaming them for allowing it to flop. Pink can't be in 100 places at once, so they needed to creaste and stimulate US hype for the album and this single. I hear they have this 'plan', apparently Dr Luke knows, or at least has hinted to it. I wonder what it is...

They are taking it slow and deliberately building the song (this is what they say).... what they don't want is to throw it at all radio stations at once and get overnight spins and then bad research so they are targeting specific stations and building this song in a real way. That is what I've been told. They could have got more "adds" but in the end that doesn't mean anything and 90% or more of most added songs don't break the top 30. SG got a lot of adds and in the end it was a flop. Research came back and it was all hype around a video but there was no real song. So they are trying the opposite approach with "Who Knew" I don't choose the singles but I wish I did.

Well, that definitely explains why they're taking their time when it comes to releasing the video here. Thank you for the info. Dr. Luke. :)

Yes, finally thanks for that LUKE! Love ya! Awesome. SO ok... SG wasn't a flop it was a moderate hit. It was huge world wide, but I'm still buzzing from this news. I HOPE this plan succeeds. For the little radio stations it has been given too, I think it's not doing so badly.
Another jump in spins to 129! Not bad. Slowly but surley....................... ;)

I don't choose the singles but I wish I did. I wish you did, too. So we could tell you which singles to choose.

Easy, U+Ur Hand, Long Way To Happy, Nobody Knows, Who Who Knew, Dear Mr President.
By the time DMP is out, she would have ganed a huge swag of album sales, and singles momentum to release something risky. She could alos have gone with SG to bring it on home.
