Has she ever had anything do this bad? I think Fall to Pieces did better with about no promo or a video.

That's because "Fall To Pieces" was amazing.

Hmm! Well tbh this was the wrong choice, and I'm not sure but maybe radio doesn't even like this sellout version of Avril. Shes lossed that edge that made her special and different. This will at best go Top 20.

^^ But she just had a #1 song just a few months ago. ??? I'm shocked this is doing so poorly really. I hope The Best Damn Thing closes the era and they skip I Can Do Better altogether.

yep then I Can Do Better and end with Innocence.
I dont know why they ever picked Hot, totally not what youd want or expect from Avril.

Yeah, I'm hearing this nowhere except for when MuchMusic plays the video.

A superstar has to have a mega-flop somewhere in their career, so this is Avril's. Shame it's this song though, it's one of my favorites from her. :(

I heard this on my station- sounds good on radio.
I'm worried that this era is over. :\ I'm not sure what she should release, should this song flop. "Innocence" is more of the old Avril, but I don't know if that's really radio-friendly. "Runaway" could possibly work, but if "Hot" doesn't do well, it'll affect future singles.

I doubt 'Innocence' & 'Runaway' will become a hit with this situation. She needs 'I Can Do Better' or 'The Best Damn Thing' because they're edgy, loud, catchy and the Avril radio loves.

Well, TBDT is Girlfriend Part II, so I think that would get things even worse, with people saying that Avril COMPLETELY sold out I think Hot is a good song musically.... the verses, the change to the chorus (although kind of messy with the 2 rhythms, still works), and ESPECIALLY the bridge (you're so good to meeeee) is GOOD!! BUT the BIG problem is the chorus lyrics: Come on!! Girlfriend was catchier, the rhythm worked and everything... but this song with Avril saying "Make me wanna drop/ It's so ridiculous / I can barely stop" It's like going really LOW, even lower than Sk8er Boi. And that's a lot to say. Like reinforcing the idea of a childish album, instead of the idea of a novelty song that Girlfriend had. Of course, that AFTER one of the cheesiest ballad Avril has ever released, I think people can say it's just too much of pre-old Avril (LOL) Teeny tiny Bubble Pop. The video was cool, tho. And her Marilyn-Mason-esque image was cool enough, but it looks like it did not work enough. Not everything is said yet, BUT considering that WYG is already #29 with a -672 bullet, and HOT is #59 with an 80 bullet says everything, for a song already sent to adds... Reminds me (again) of Gwen's NTYGI.

Avril didn't sell out with 'Girlfriend', the song is still very her. She sold out IMAGE-WISE. There's a difference.

I Can Do Better should be next, and then they should close up with Runaway.

"Innocence" is a great song , but I think it would flop HARD.
The singles should've been "Girlfriend" , "Contagious" , "When You're Gone" and "Runaway" after.

Contagious is only 2 mins long. lol
Innocence imo will do a lot better than WYG.

By the way, this charted at No. 30 in the UK. It's her lowest charting single so far, before that it was 'Nobody's Home' at No. 24.

This song is a mistake. Contagious should've been the 3rd single, its short, catchy and actually REALLY good! I think this killed the album's momentum now ... completely
