Mercy will make top 10 if pop radio start playing it right now, but we know pop stations won't play it. Goes back to the "kicking and screaming" thing I just said in my post about Dark Side.
Clearly people like Mercy, it's sold over a million, and it's #7 on streaming atm. It's just not generic enough to get pop support. The stations are scared of playing a song like that, it's nothing to do with them not connecting with the general public. Kanye West, Big Sean, Lil Wayne and Drake have all had big hits before with other songs.

Different message, different tempo, its different. It stands out to me on Pop radio.. 
..BUT this is about Dark Side... I can say this as a hiphop fan that I enjoy Kelly's music more then Drake.. but that just me though. 
Two completely different artists.
Right.
