Still amazed at how badly is doing. Really embarrassing and sad, especially after the huge high of Girlfriend that kicked off the album, which made it seem that this album would sell huge amounts. I doubt this can pick up especially with Christmas approaching.

Sadly, I believe this is over. It's not a great song IMO, and it followed an underperforming ballad... so I'm not surprised at all. Girlfriend was a novelty hit that peaked and died very quickly, she didn't really have a great foundation for this era to begin with. Avril needs to do something different with her next album, I think people are sick of the same kind of stuff we get from her all of the time.

Having no hype from a superstar like Avril on her second single counts as underperforming. It didn't make the impact it was intended to. And I definitely say that it's (#9?) peak was an underperformance for Avril.

And I definitely say that it's (#9?) peak was an underperformance for Avril. Agreed, but actual chart preformance it did all it could IMO and succeeded as a top 10 hit. In no means was it a 'smash' hit though. It's hard to tell when a song causes a momentum shift like that, unless it truely flops. Just cuz it doesn't hit #1 or Top 5 doesn't mean it wasn't a success. You would just have to go by gut feeling (or what the public thinks). If she really did loose all her hype and momentum you would think WYG wouldn't even have hit top 10. I'm not suggesting payola, I'm just saying its hard to gauge when an artist looses all hype just cuz in your opinion the song wasn't great or it wasn't a #1 smash. Avril's a former radio chart topper yah, but by no means is her average chart preformance #1 or top 5, I'd say its around where WYG peaked actually...

Yes cause #9 is so weak. LOL The single did fine imo and definitely well for summer. This song just isnt up to snuff after a ballad that wasnt a smash.. it needed to be better than WYG or they wouldnt give it the time of day.. ie WK and UUH. UUH did really well cause it was a smash in the waiting and then WK did well cause it came off a smash (and cause its a good song but its kinda a grower, not something that takes you by storm right.. for me anyway). *Dont kill me*

"Hot" just didn't do it for me at all. It has extremely weak and tacky lyrics without being a novelty song and was also a bit boring. I'm not surprised it didn't catch on, but I am surprised this was picked as a single. She had other better options IMO.
I loved WYG although it did seem to cause a big change in the momentum for this era.

Sometimes ballads KILL momentum or hype, even when performing well.... Ask Xtina after releasing Hurt, a ballad that I think it's even better than WYG, but then all hype was gone when Candyman came (especially with the edit)

But I can see why Hurt lost all momentum... I was shocked to see that as a single, did pretty well WW but I think its cause of her name and fantastic video.. great album but she didnt really have many tracks that would do well on POP radio except for ANOM. WYG I dont think did anything wrong, they just followed it up with the wrong single. B2B singles should have gone ANOM, CM, Understand, SDB TBDT singles should have gone G, Runaway, WYG, ICDB

I think this song starts off great, almost like something from Under My Skin, but the lyrics are just... ugh. They ruin a potentially decent song. With that said, I think this song is on par with 'When You're Gone', maybe not AS good but it's not a lot worse than it. Still not as good as anything she released before 'Girlfriend' tho.

^Yeah a ballad for summer wasnt a really good decision but it seems this year a LOT of people went with ballads.

k. just release ICDB, Runaway or TBDT plz. This song isn't going anywhere. And I really don't know what went wrong here. She sang this on basically every awards show there was.. so it wasn't lack of promo. I guess the song just wasn't for radio.

LOL. 4th single in January please. Yes, bring out the next single then!! :) I wonder what itll be? Im expecting Runaway, I Can Do Better, The Best Damn Thing, or Innocence. k. just release ICDB, Runaway or TBDT plz. This song isn't going anywhere. And I really don't know what went wrong here. She sang this on basically every awards show there was.. so it wasn't lack of promo. I guess the song just wasn't for radio. What went wrong? The single. ;) Radio just wasnt feeling it.. Lyrics imo and the song arent that great.. it grew on me a lil but overall I still think the song sucks.. Its not a horrible song by any means but Im a big Avril fan and I almost always skip it, and not many I know like this song, they loved GF though cause it was so catchy and hot! And I know the lyrics apply to her husband but people dont picture Avril singing about stuff like that or looking like that, some people dont like changes with certain artists. Some people here said b4 cause WYG wasnt a smash hit she needed something REALLY good for her next single, and Hot wasnt it, unfortunately. It didnt do much anywhere

No major market adds.
50,000 impressions from new markets 980,000 impressions from large markets
I would say there is life left in this track if the major market audience is that large. I would say its picking up slow, not dead yet.
