This song will be perfectly fine. It's not going to be a fast riser like Stronger. It's gunna be like Mr. Know It All. I doubt it peaks till October/November. ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif)

More like Already Gone. People were stressing about the performance of AG in the beginning as well. The song was released in July and went to number one in mid December and peaked in January. That's 5 months my friend. After the peak of Suck and Hook up the album only sold 700k so the performance of Already Gone let the album sell more then 200k.
I can definitely see the same thing happening with Dark Side.

So in all comparisons, we are one week ahead of Already Gone. Already Gone became Kelly's biggest recurrent song and was the biggest ballad of 2009. So can we please stop this negative crap and realize that the song is doing just fine ?!
