She tweeted this yesterday She means she has to top it herself, or someone else has to do this? I hope she shows up somewhere and doesn't break her promise.

They've had nothing to promote, she's been in hiding with the pregnancy/baby.

I kind of hope they stagger out a lot of the promo with the next album.. She always does like 100% of her promo on the lead single/album release week, then the rest of the singles usually just get like 1 performance.

The lead single doesn't need all the promo, it has the hype. I hope they use the 2nd single in a microsoft advert or something so she can have longevity. It'd be nice to have more than 1 or 2 moderate hits per era.

I think he means why Microsoft haven't promoted Kelly yet. Like during AIEW or Stronger era. I wonder about this too.

But as you said, I hope she promotes more singles than just the first one to have more longevity. As she starts a whole new chapter in her life and career, I'm ready for a Breakaway-sized era - 4 or 5 smash singles, good album sales and acclaim.

Why would Microsoft need to promote Kelly?

[Kriskiki89]

Because she does like 5000 concerts for them.

Speaking of which. This **** always confuses me. Is Kelly her contract with RCA over? Because it stated she needs to release 5 studio albums (Greatest hits and her debut doesn't count). Doesn't Wrapped In Red count also? Or not because it's a holiday album? If wrapped in red doesn't count this might be her last album with RCA, which I honestly doubt since she really seems in a happy place with them since Stronger. RCA really turned around.

I mean I get that she does concerts for them but Microsoft really has interest in whether her album is flopping or not, they would just care about the turn out she brings for their concerts.

Well it's obvious by now that Kelly is under some kind of contract with Microsoft. She must have done more than 10 events for them. Kelly asks around $300,000 per private event. I honestly doubt Microsoft only gave her cash. There must be some kind of extra benefit. Some kind of deal we don't know about yet.

Nobody said Microsoft have to care about her album sales. We're just saying she does a lot for Microsoft, so they could pay her back by giving her promo.

Plus, the better Kelly's album does/the bigger her star-power/attraction = the more people/bigger attraction of having Kelly at concerts.

Exactly! If they are promoting Kelly they are promoting their products indirectly. It's a win win.

I think this album will her last under the contract. I remember we were talking about it that WIR doesn't count and that they try to milk everything from her until the contract is over. But just as you I think that Kelly won't leave them. She seems happy and the label supports her.

Yeah, holiday albums don't count. Since Kelly's under a per album contract (in her case, 6 studio albums), she has to release the set number of albums, and each album must be mostly new material. It varies a little bit depending on the contract, but a minimum of 51% (often more like 75%) of the album must be totally new original songs, not covers or traditional songs. That's why holiday albums - like Wrapped In Red - don't fulfill the contract. Same with greatest hits - those are 90% re-released singles, plus a few new ones.

So for Kelly, only her studio albums count: Thankful, Breakaway, MD, AIEW, and Stronger. And now her 6th and final full-length studio album will fulfill her contract.

(If she was under a per year contract, it wouldn't really matter what albums she put out, only the time that passed.)

I know Kelly was really excited to leave RCA as soon as her contract is up after album 6, but that was before Stronger when she said that. I'm not sure what she'll do now, since they've been treating her better. I guess it depends on how this next era goes. But if she does stay with them, it will definitely be with a shorter contract. The norm these days is only 1 or 2 albums for a contract. Bigger album deals (like 6, which she's had since 2002) are outdated now.

(I studied and work in music business btw. That's why I know this legal stuff haha.)

Maybe RCA will dish out the promo so they make her want to stay with them?

Probably. I wouldn't mind if Microsoft gave her promo obviously, but I don't they should be obligated to imo.

Remember the flawless WIR promo? I want Microsoft to promote her lead single like this...

Probably. Hopefully! I hope Kelly's next era is big and really successful.

But I'd only want her to stay with RCA if they're going to continue treating her right - let her record the music she wants, support her albums/singles with good promo, etc. Luckily she should be able to negotiate a better deal - only being required to release one or two albums per contract would give her a lot more control of her career.

They don't even have to feature Kelly. Just play WIR (song) as some new Microsoft product is being featured on a Christmas sale commercial.

Buzzfeed giving Dark Side that promo. It finally went #1 somewhere!

Didn't our ATRL Base originally say it was about that? Our impact!

It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom.

What is "bottoming"?
