September 25, 20177 yr Kelly’s not really been a “peak high to start” since about 2005. I think everyone is more interested in how the album will do anyway.
September 25, 20177 yr This....isn't doing well is it? It's doing decently in the US and climbing radio there nicely. It's somewhat stable on iTunes there too. In the UK no :( It's playlisted by BBC Radio 2, but that's the only significant station I can see playing it. BBC Radio 1 have played it a few times, they may playlist it this week/next week? Capital haven't touched it though. They played "Heartbeat Song" a lot, so without the support from capital this may struggle. But we'll see - its airplay is just starting out!
September 27, 20177 yr No shade, but I don't get the surprise every time a female artist over a certain age is snubbed by Radio 1 and Capital. It happens literally 9 times out of 10. At some point you have to start out not expecting Radio 1 or Capital to support them, never mind what level of success or impact they've had before. It will happen to the likes of Jess Glynne and Ariana Grande one day too, when they're no longer flavour of the month or the age that the big stations arbitraily decide is appropriate for a female pop singer to be and still be cool or relevant.
September 27, 20177 yr i think it's less surprise & more disappointment because we were holding out hope that Kelly may be an anomaly (like P!nk).
September 27, 20177 yr The problem is the genre - Heartbeat Song was so pop whereas Love So Soft is the opposite and isn't suited for R1, really.
September 27, 20177 yr Love So Soft IS suited to R1 I’d say? They playlist Love On The Brain by Rihanna id say it’s a similar sound to that
November 8, 20177 yr Author So this has actually done pretty decently in America! Billboard Hot 100: 47. Kelly Clarkson - Love So Sot (+10) [NEW PEAK] Chart-run: 62-81-74-72-70-59-57-47
