This song was officially released to iTunes, Amazon, digital retailers etc (as a single) on June 2nd. If I'm correct, recently, the promo CD has also been sent to radios and clubs. I'm also under the impression it has been added to radio stations.
It had about 500 plays before the 2nd and a constant of about 40 spins a week.
So here's today's update for "I Did It For Love"

I love this.
BoA is too manufactured and that's her downfall in the US in my opinion. There is nothing about her that stands out so I'm not surprise she's being ignored.

Whose Boa A Korean pop-star whose been very successful in both Korea & Japan. She released her debut english-langauge album on March 17th of this year. & I think her main problem is that her label (SM entertainment) doesn't know how to promote an artist in the U.S. They need to understand the U.S. market is a totally different ball game than the Asian one. Girls got talent and can dance circles around all these singer/dancers in the U.S. rite now. Here's the video for those who haven't seen it: & I wonder if they're gonna even continue trying with this song since they already announced @ the VMA's Japan last week that "Energetic" will be her 3rd single  |

Eat You Up had a better video but I think this is more radio friendly.
I wish her the best!

I like this one a little more than "Eat You Up." It's a bit more catchy. This one has more potential as a single.
The local Dance radio station has been playing the original for some time now.

The video is amazing and the song is much better than Eat You Up. Why can't her label give her a freaking adds date?!  |

I don't think radio is receptive to people who sing with audible accents, and the heavy auto-tune on top of it doesn't help. I don't really care, but I seriously doubt this will get played, and almost entirely because of that reason. If anyone, even with a new artist, with an Americanized accent sang this, it would probably be a hit.

Even with top producers and directors for videos, this whole project is flopping so hard because they don't know how to promote BoA at all. There's no adds date for this, I wonder if it's that hard to set one for a song. I don't think she has appear in any TV spots or any tour either. I wonder how long will it take for an Asian to finally get a real hit on radio. Utada & BoA flopped, there's Sun who will be releasing her music this summer, she might have a shot. |

who the heck is Sun?
Wonder Girls are being featured as the opener's for some of the Jonas Brother tour dates in America, so that's going to get them some nice exposure..

Sun is yet another famous singer from Asia and had a few #1 dance hits on Billboard Dance Charts. Wyclef Jean signed her up and they wrote & produced her album which will be release in the Summer. If Wonder Girls somehow break into the US market, it would be awesome! They are massive in Asia here now, like BoA used to be. |

Kind of like Utada, even though they flopped in America, their albums sell enough in Asia to make enough profit. Best & USA has already gone Platinum I believe, so pushing more singles isn't a bad idea, as it will promote further sales in Japan. It's America's loss. |

I don't think the US is ready to embrace an Asian superstar into the pop world at the moment. Maybe one will find a way to break out and pave the way for more but I feel like this poor girl is going to end up a guinea pig for the future Asian pop stars to learn from. I also agree with what someone said about her completely audible accent, it doesn't work at all. The US market will accept latin accents (Shakira) and even french (Celine - yes I know she is Canadian) but this has never been tried.

I Did It For Love is oddly infectious. I listened to it once yesterday and ended up waking up singing it. Still, not going anywhere.

She's also already shot the video for Energetic. OMG really? I didn't know ... probably cause I haven't checked BoAjjang today  On one hand I'm excited cause "Energetic" is my favorite song on the album but on the other hand I'm dissapointed cause they let another potential smash go to waste :( I hope they finally promote this go 'round. She's performing @ SF Pride which is a start (GaGa did it last year). They need to get her on So You Think You Can Dance next. She'd be a perfect performer for that show. |
