June ****ing 5th? Never change RCA.

I guess this is the summer single after all.

[Nerevanin]

5th June? A little late I think. I thought it's going to be a spring single but doesn't matter. So far it seemed that RCA know what they do this era so let's hope it will be fine this time as well.

And then Let Me Down.

I honestly want her to perform Stronger on Idol to make the 4 million sales more possible.

Or maybe a medley of Stronger and Dark Side.

I went 10 second Mr. Know It All accepella, followed by a big "becausee" that leads into the Stronger chorous. Then half of Dark Side,

June 5th? I really like that release date because I always wanted this to become one of the Big Summer Singles of 2012 and releasing in June makes that possible!

I still hold true to my prediction that Dark Side will replace Because Of You as her biggest Worldwide hit and replace Since U Been Gone as her biggest American hit. What Doesn't Kill You could become her most successful in the U.S depending on its staying power.

Dark Side really does have the potential to become huge. It has a unique sound that could work with the new alternative kick that's beginning right now. Between We Are Young and Somebody That I Used To Know becoming huge...I think Dark Side actually has a touch of Alternative style to it. The chorus also contains some dance to it. Alternative & Dance are the biggest genres currently and Dark Side has both of those genres.

I still hope she performs on The Voice, Billboard Music Awards, and American Idol. This is my idea:

The Voice: Mr. Know It All (Country) with team Blake
BMA: What Doesn't Kill You
American Idol: What Doesn't Kill You & Dark Side medley

I agree with you This is why I think Dark Side will be huge...

Me too. I honestly think it will perform better than "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" overseas, and although it might not come together like the second single in America did, ensuring fantastic peaks across the board, I think it will be a more memorable hit paired with fantastic longevity.

I'm honestly very excited for this single.

[KevinKDC]

Yea I can also see Dark Side becoming the biggest hit worldwide of this era.

[FAN]

I'm so nervous for Dark Side, but I really hope this will be big for her.

[stoopidjenna]

I know it will absolutely SLAY lives but it's just a matter of waiting for RCA to effing release it -_-

Now hew reported my post but didn't report this one?

[NickLacheyFan]

First of all it can always change but! This is good! I know ya'll are on the edge waiting for this but at least we got an adds date now and we are not waiting for something to happen.

Like other have mentioned -
Stonrger is still strong on radios, gaining on HAC even , a month to let it start falling there and on pop is a great decision.

Releasing DS now will move some focus from MKIA Country version which is stupid cuz' it's now really taking off.

So month and a half is great timing IMO to get all of those workin' her fav'.

[The Dark Side]

I'm not worried about the timing at all. This song will smash hard no matter what! Dark Side will become Kellys biggest international hit and her signature song to be remembered for generations!

[MJ Boston]

YAS. I'm here for 6 million US digital sales, Song & Record of the Year Grammy's, 200 mil AI and 15 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.

[ifyouseekLEM]

Dark Side as the next single in the summer.

You Can't Win or even Let Me Down would be far stronger given the season and radio friendly-ness.

Don't Be A Girl About It would be another #1 single for Kelly.

@Hot30Countdown
It's @kelly_clarkson 'Dark Side' once again Australia! The winner of #Hot30sNewMusicSmackdown

[Taigan]

I'm here for Dark Side going top 10 on Billboard and Kelly having a 1, 2 3 punch by releasing Let Me Down after that, which WILL climb to top 5, have the best video of Kelly's career and drag the industry DOWWWWN to the infinite pits of hell for ever doubting her as the complete, flawless talent she is.:hey****you:

What would you suggest then? And don't you dare say I flopgive you

Edit: I Forgive You really isn't that bad, and I like that it's a positive song that fits in well with current pop music. But LMD is just so STRONG.
