it suffers for being dark and different? LOL.

RR is slower than bleeding love.

YES. YES. AND YES.

Seriously.

Haters everywhere.

Yeah, LOL LOL LOL. Do you even know what you're talking about? No? Okay, then shut the **** up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballad#...d_rock_ballads

Tempo does not make a ballad. If you want to talk about the lethargic pace of the song, that's totally different. I'm still pretty sure the song's dark sound and subject matter are what's killing it.

I have a Mediabase login, but I can't seem to find Quick Cut data there... How can I do it?

Did "Whatcha Say" suddenly lose spins?

Kelly is 160 spins away from her first number one on the Hot AC! Come on Kelly!

24 17 LADY GAGA Bad Romance 3609 2477 1132 23.387

WERQ!

Seriously? None of her other singles ever hit #1?

I was looking through Mediabase today and I think I have calculated the top 10 most played artists for the Top 40 format of 2009 (so far). There's still a month left, but it shouldn't really change much. For fun, I also listed the artist's top five most played songs of the year for the top 40 format.

1. Lady GaGa - 576,248 (Poker Face, Just Dance, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Bad Romance)
2. The Black Eyed Peas - 415,998 (Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, Meet Me Halfway, Where Is the Love?, Let's Get It Started)
3. Britney Spears - 388,480 (Circus, Womanizer, If U Seek Amy, 3, Radar)
4. Beyonce - 383,084 (Halo, Single Ladies, Sweet Dreams, If I Were a Boy, Irreplaceable)
5. Miley Cyrus - 358,616 (The Climb, Party in the U.S.A., See You Again, 7 Things, Fly on the Wall)
6. P!nk - 364,253 (Sober, Please Don't Leave Me, So What, Funhouse, Who Knew)
7. T.I. - 331,503 (Dead and Gone, Live Your Life, Whatever You Like, Bring 'em Out, What You Know)
8. Flo Rida - 327,103 (Right Round, Sugar, Low, Be On You, In the Ayer)
9. Kelly Clarkson - 319,675 (My Life Would Suck Without You, I Do Not Hook Up, Already Gone, Since U Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes)
10. Taylor Swift - 319,020 (You Belong with Me, Love Story, Teardrops on My Guitar, Our Song, White Horse)

Because of You got 0 airplay this year?

Yeah, pretty sure BOY peaked at 2.

1. Lady GaGa - 576,248 (Poker Face, Just Dance, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Bad Romance)

THE QUEEN OF THE RADIO THIS YEAR

Yeah, it did. 32,992 spins according to Mediabase. I just listed the artist's top five most played songs from the top 40 format for 2009. It came in at #8 for Top 40 format for Kelly Clarkson.

Because of You 32,992
2,798 - Top 40
211 - Rhythmic
20,456 - AC
9,523 - Hot AC
1 - Country
1 - Urban AC
2 - Gospel

Of course, "My Life Would Suck Without You" topped her list this year.

Here's her singles from 2009:

My Life Would Suck Without You 267,212
165,699 - Top 40
5,357 - Rhythmic
5,879 - AC
90,245 - Hot AC
22 - Urban
1 - AAA
1 - Alternative
8 - Gospel

I Do Not Hook Up 111,658
83,840 - Top 40
1,861 - Rhythmic
607 - AC
25,346 - Hot AC
3 - Urban
1 - AAA

Already Gone 69,541
41,293 - Top 40
820 - Rhythmic
953 - AC
26,469 - Hot AC
2 - AAA
1 - Active
1 - Alternative
1 - Rock
1 - Gospel

What's up with the all the gospel spins?

A Moment Like This - #24
Miss Independent - #2
Low - #53
The Trouble With Love Is - #30 ( This beat "Low"?)
Breakaway - #2
Since U Been Gone - #1 (There's one!)
Behind These Hazel Eyes - #1 (There's another!)
Because of You - #2 (Awwww )
Walk Away - #3
Never Again - #12 (It peaked higher here than on pop!? )
Sober - #61
My Life Would Suck Without You - #3
I Do Not Hook Up - #13
Already Gone - #4

So if "Already Gone" goes to #1 soon, then it will be her third to top the chart on Hot AC, not her first, since "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes" already hit #1 on Hot AC.

I can't believe "A Moment Like This" peaked so low on Hot AC.

Oh, my bad. LMAO.

Some guy said her previous peak was 2 with BOY.

Thanks for all this Kelly info, very interesting. ^-^
