One thing I like about Hilary fans is that we never sugarcoat things, if Hilary has flops/flopped, we don't sugarcoat it, but most of her flops have been because of piss poor management and promo.

And we have valid points about all of them.
- So Yesterday, Wake Up & With Love were her only singles to get the full single treatment. With So Yesterday being released as a CD single in the US.
- Come Clean didn't get a CD single release in the US when that came out. OLAS & Fly didn't either.
- Digital downloads weren't accounted for on the Hot 100 until February 2005 which helped Wake Up chart.
- BOMH was a crap single so it's understandable why it didn't do well in downloads & it wasn't sent to radio.
- PWF's iTunes release was messy and it wasn't sent to radio.
- With Love peaked at #3 on iTunes and did well digitally.
- Stranger didn't go to radio but still peaked at #97 thanks to a performance & digital downloads.
- Reach Out wasn't released as a stand alone single until late December 2008, two months after the video came out, and was only available prior with the full Best Of album. It also didn't go for adds.
HWR really ****ed up the latter half of her music career.
Hilary has pretty good album sales. Her management was/is the pits. Hilary is far from a flop. She still gets booked for pretty good events. I mean, what singer who hasn't recorded music in forever gets booked on Chelsea Lately? Only the queen.
