Excluded NMT and Woohoo, Bionic and YLM are the only other songs to chart on top 100 itunes. They should be released as singles. I think a ballad like YLM is the best choice right now. What are RCA waiting for? This is bad loigic... The only reason these are charting is because she has performed these over the last week. If you want to pick a single using your methodology you would go with "Sex for Breakfast"

She kilt her performance on Letterman & on Live with Regis & Kelly, Incredible !!! What a talent she is. Again Woohoo isn't an official single.

Made me wat to listen to NMT. Bionic's chorus is so underwhelming. The song starts quite nicely and then the chorus stabs it!

I love the chorus of "Bionic". I love how she sings the word 'bionic' and the 'eh'.
But the best part of the song is the instrumental leading up to the chorus. I love the anticipation buildup of the chorus.

I love the chorus of "Bionic". I love how she sings the word 'bionic' and the 'eh'. That's exactly what turns me off, the "eh" parts. But other than that I like the song!

I think LMU is a much better choice than YLM. I agree. I think YLM is a better song but LMU is slightly more uptempo so it has a better chance

Exactly. YLM is way too slow for radio.

Love the performance of YLM on Letterman. I get chills when she sings songs like this. I'm not so fond of the dance tracks as I don't think they are worthy of her voice, but I do understand that they are what gets her on the radio.

Again Woohoo isn't an official single. It's not official, only released officially to the rhythmic radio where it's flopping these days..

Bootleg version of "I'm OK" at Storytellers: That was amazing. She's given a few really good performances this era so far, but this towers above them, for me.

She will definetly sell atleast 200k i believe. yeah it will do 200K...in 3 weeks of sales. I really don't see what can keep this album from dropping like a rock. The two most commercial songs NMT and WooHoo already flopped. Bionic and possibly I Hate Boys can impact radio but that's really her last chance. I think Bionic is her best bet honestly. I think Bionic will be the next single and if it fails it's ova.

Yup. First time ever.
Definitely a standout performance of her career IMO. Can't wait to hear the full thing in HQ.

I went to Walmart yesterday, and Bionic is NOT in their "New Releases" section. It's under the Father's Day CD's section off to the side. I thought that was really weird.

The CD section at Walmart is always a mess. I never buy CDs at Walmart. Always at Target, everything is nicely organized.

Thanks for sticking it in mom's WooHoo. Happy Father's Day, Dad! I really agree with her that the ballads are the heart of the album. The electronic and club/party songs are cool and all but those Sia ballads, LMU and Little Dreamer make up for any flaws on the album, IMO. Edit: I just saw the R&K performance of NMT. If only she put that much fire into the actual studio version of the song, it might have meant something. THAT was a performance. Those notes at the end that were LIVE...WOW. :o The band sounded hot, too. I would actually enjoy seeing this in concert if she performed it like that.

I love that riff she does going into the second chorus at the end of "this is my nighhhtttttt." Her performances of the song are getting a bit better. I remember the initial ones of "Dirrty" were a bit lackluster as well, but eventually she grew into it. The ANOM performances were always on point for the most part. You could tell she loved singing that song every time she did it.
