I wouldn't hold my breath for this to become anything more than a moderate failure. I really hope for something good to happen to this though, it was such a great follow up to Stronger and I thought it made sense. 
I Forgive You for the next single. She can sing that to them radio DJs who didn't go with Dark Side as a summer smash. |
This is exactly my point. Finally someone that gets it

Pop music is so underwhelming at the moment. Without radio deals (I still call it payola) and promotion it's hard for a song to go top 10. Dark Side is coming from a HUGE hit and is getting so many mediacore updates. This is Kelly's slowest charting song ever. So I doubt it's going to rebound at this point.
Every single hit of Kelly Clarkson was Top 20 on pop before or on it's 8th week on the chart. Therefore Dark Side is officially the slowest charting (hit?) of Kelly Clarkson and the first not being in the top 20 of the billboard pop chart on it's 8th week:
A Moment Like This:
#4 (8th Week) Top 5
#5 (9th Week) Top 5
#7 (10th Week) Top 10
Miss Independent:
#2 (8th Week) Top 2
#1 (9th Week) Topped The Chart
#1 (10th Week) Second week at number one
Breakaway:
#18 (8th Week) Top 20
#13 (9th Week) Top 15
#9 (10th Week) Top 10
Since U Been Gone:
#7 (8th Week) Top 10
#4 (9th Week) Top 5
#3 (10th Week) Top 3
Hazel Eyes:
#4 (8th Week) Top 5
#4 (9th Week) Top 5
#3 (10th Week) Top 3
Because Of You
#2 (8th Week) Top 2
#2 (9th Week) Top 2
#1 (10th Week) Topped the chart
Walk Away
#9 (8th Week) Top 10
#8 (9th Week) Top 10
#6 (10th Week) Top 10
My Life Would Suck Without You
#3 (8th Week) Top 3
#4 (9th Week) Top 5
#3 (10th Week) Top 3
Hook Up
#8 (8th Week) Top 10
#8 (9th Week) Top 10
#9 (10th Week) Top 10
Already Gone
#20 (8th Week) Top 20
#14 (9th Week) Top 15
#12 (10th Week) Top 15
#10 (11th Week) Top 10
Mr.Know It All
#16 (8th Week) Top 20
#16 (9th Week) Top 20
#14 (10th Week) Top 15
Stronger
#3 (8th Week) Top 3
#2 (9th Week) Top 2
#1 (10th Week) Topped The Chart
Dark Side hasn't received a OFFICIAL +100 spins on pop, the only two times it did was due to the top 40 breakthrough and a panel change. It's been receiving mediacore and (sometimes) bad updates.
The amount of weeks that it took for Kelly's song to peak:
A Moment Like This = 7 Weeks (#4)
Miss Independent= 9 Weeks (#1)
Breakaway = 14 Weeks (#1)
Since U Been Gone = 16 Weeks (#1)
Hazel Eyes = 13 Weeks (#2)
Because Of You = 10 Weeks (#1)
Walk Away = 11 Weeks (#5)
My Life Would Suck = 8 Weeks (#3)
Hook Up = 8 Weeks (#8)
Already Gone = 16 Weeks (#5)
Mr. Know It All = 14 Weeks (#11)
Stronger = 10 Weeks (#1)
