That's the only problem here. It reached the mid 20's on iTunes and a performance or SOMETHING would have helped it along. It reached top 10 on HAC and perhaps could have climbed much further on Pop if 1.) Stronger would die already and 2.) There was promotion.
So, I say, Dark Side is not necessarily FLOPPING, it just needs help. Promotion. If RCA is unwilling or Kelly is too busy to promote, then end the era. No point sending out another single if there will be no promotion and likely no video for it. Shame because Dark Side is one of her best.

I agree with the majority of some points, but it appears that RCA kinda abandoned the song and for the song to get a second wind at this point, it's going to take more then promotion for the song to become a hit.
