She gets some but not much radio play, and while I love her lyrics, too often they leave a lot of people scratching their heads regarding their meaning. That limits her growth potential.
What she does have going for her is how often her music gets featured on TV shows or trailers and movies, more than a lot of other artists of similar exposure as far as I can tell. I mean, Shake it Out was recently on two shows (How I Met Your Mother, Smash), the CW network shows feature her music all the time, and use of Seven Devils on the Game of Thrones trailer significantly increased interest in that song, at least on YouTube.
If a lot of people end up going to watch the Titanic re-release and IF Never Let Me Go was integrated well into it, that may push that song way up and would of course give her a lot more exposure.
One could always hope for an Oscar nod for best song next year...(asides from hopping for several Grammy nods).
