I'm sure her label and management team are overwhelmed by the response. I know they're working to get YT and ODS working right, and are trying to get the acoustic mix out for downloads and streaming ASAP.

Mmm...I dunno. Kelly at least has had #1s before, while I think people who didn't watch Tamar's show didn't know who she was.
Plus we've had pre-order/instant grat #1s since then from people I'd never heard of. Like alt-J.
It was her second bomb in a row and was released as a single in November. AI stopped pushing songs up the charts in 2012. This really is shocking but so deserved.
