^^ Ignore them, KC fans cant take the fact that Avril is riding high on the charts EVERYWHERE and she isnt. So now the talk is to say that 'Avril listens to RCA and make the music they want her to while Kelly is following her own instincs and growing as an artists' LMAO And this coming from the very same MISSCLARKSON who used to attack EVERY OTHER Christina fan when they said Christina wasnt selling cause she was making a concept album with a sound being different from what's mainstream right now. So now he is having the same talk he once used to attack like IN EVERY THREAD LOL, I'm loving this!

Clive wouldn't sabotage his own artist. If he saw that it was taking off he would be more then pleased. He wouldn't try to stop her from selling records. And if radio is getting requests they are going to play it regardless of what the buzz is. I agree with this post. Clive can't stop radio from playing a song if they want to play it. If the song is getting bad passive call out then stations stop playing the song. Radio cares about their advertising money. They play the songs that people like the best so they can sell their advertising spots at the highest amount.

Kelly is being pushed...like crazy actually. I think she's already done more press then Avril did the week TBDT was released.
Avril only did TV performances in America THE WEEK her album was released. Kelly is not being pushed aside.

^^ So true! Kelly's schedule to promote THE SINGLE is bigger than mostly all other pop artist schedule to launch AN ALBUM
There is a lot of money going on to build up some hype to the release of 'My December', it's been a LONG TIME since we saw artists promoting ALL OVER USA TV a song when the album release is still almost 2 months away.
Nobody can say RCA isnt investing on Kelly. They are putting her all over TV to promote ONE SONG

the promo was to promote the song and TOUR, considering tickets went on sale today. And the album comes out in 6 weeks.
How much of this promo was actually coordinated by RCA, and not the Firm?

So perhaps she will just do one TV appearance by the time the album is released. I dont really understand this way of promo as I think it is a shoot in the foot since people are much easier to convince into buying an album if they see something on TV and KNOW that can go out at THAT moment and buy the album rather than promote a long time before and just make it easy to be forgotten by the album the album is actually on stores

It makes me laugh that people think RCA wants to see Kelly fail. Because major corporations LOVE to lose money, right?

We all know Kelly will sell her album in a big way...I doubt she will be hurting...I mean please...they will probably rush release a second single for summer and while she does the tour.
It is crazy how much promo went into this one particular single...

The opening week will for sure be massive. That's a given. I just wonder if its going to be really front loaded.

In fact, I think 50 will take #1 and Kelly will be #2 during that week. Avril didn't crack 300,000 in the U.S. during her release week, and her single was huge on radio. (But Avril did really well WW, due to massive promotion she did overseas, plus releasing the GF in different languages was a brilliant move.) I'd be really happy if Kelly sells around 275,000 in the U.S. I have no idea how well it'll do WW. Since I'm not even sure it will be a WW release. And I don't think she'll be going overseas until after this tour. (At least that's the impression I got from her interviews.)

^^^True but Kelly is riding off the success of a bigger album so I think the opening week will be stronger then Avril's. In the US at least.

^^ I hope you're right, it would be nice if Kelly could beat, at least, Breakaway's opening numbers. But I'm still really doubtful about that happening. Not just because album sales are down, but because the promo schedule, so far, has been very fucked up.
I'm so not happy with the 53 bullet, I'm betting NA completely loses its bullet by Monday. I didn't think this would be a huge hit as some of her other songs, but I was hoping for better numbers than this, because I love this song (unlike a lot of other people here).

We'll see how the album sells in the first week and go from there I guess. No one was expecting Beyoncé to do 541k after Deja Vu flopped (less hard than this), so it could go like that. But then again, no one was expecting Gwen to lose the top spot to Ciara after Wind It Up (which also didn't flop as hard as this). Still love the song though, it's probably my favorite Kelly song now!

I think the album will sell ATLEAST 400k but not more than 450k. Anything under 400k would be extremely dissapointing considering the last album did almost 6M.
I don't see her doing Yolanda type numbers either since Kelly ain't that big of a star yet.

Clive Davis was an egotistical jerk and now he's an egotistical old coot jerk. from Kelly herself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vN9wYIuCc

If Kelly goes on more shows that are when people are not tired (Jimmy Kimmel) or too sleepy (Today Show) then maybe people could hear the song more lol. Just a theory.

I think this album could do B'Day numbers its first week...over 500K...
I mean Breakaway is still selling good enough that if it could chart in the BB 200, it would...so the interest is still high for her and people are willing to continue shelling out for her new single while not getting Top 10 airplay....
