Honestly would never be a hit no matter how much radio shifts.

And let me guess...

I Forgive You would still smash even when the radio shift happens?

You guys some good news. Know it all (Country Version) jumped 6 spots and it's still getting lots of adds. It should be top 30 soon. Also, the Deluxe version of Stronger is doing a little better on itunes. It was hanging around 100-110 for the past week, but it's climbed back up to the 80s. I think Know It All is helping to keep the momentum stable.

Did any of you really read my post?

Radio is changing and the 4th Single likely won't be released until October or so...by that time a song like Honestly could become a hit for sure! The pop dance craze is starting to die down while alternative and unique is on the rise...

I would love for Honestly to be a single at some point.
One of my favs and I think it could do pretty good on radio top 20 and with promo and a actual high budget music video top 15.

Others will disagree though

Honestly was the first song I let myself listen to on the album when it leaked. ****ing LOVED it, instantly. Thought it was going to be one of my favorite KC songs ever.

...

It got old so fast. I don't listen to it much anymore. I still think it's a great song but I have no desire to really listen to it anymore. Would totally tank as a single.

I did but I don't think the dance craze is going away just yet. Honestly is unique but it just isn't good enough to be a single IMO. Plus I don't think it would do her any favours at all.

She has a country hit, a dance #1, she tried an edgier rockier sound with My December.. For her to release an indie kind of song after hitting #1 with Stronger would just be so confusing to the general public. I think it would just alienate the pop market against her. I love it when she tries out different genres and sounds, but in terms of selling albums, she needs to be consistent and release a sure-fire hit. WDKY can only carry the album so far and if we don't hit platinum i'd be upset.

But that's why I'm happy about DS. I feel it's got kind of that dance beat, but it's not disposible and is unique from most of the songs on Top40. Let's have faith guys!

I'd LOVE an Honestly video, it could be dark, the way some people wanted DS to be. But it's just TOO risky to release as a single, even though it could have a chance at success. On the other hand, I'm not here for Kelly releasing the obvious I Flopgive You because it sounds like the rest of radio...

That leaves LMD

I respect your opinion but have to disagree...

We Are Young & Somebody That I Used To Know have been #1 on the Hot 100 for nearly 2 months now...

It is only a matter of time before those songs are the Top 2 played songs on POP radio...if that doesn't tell you that the music market is changing...nothing will

The set! American Idol much? lol

NO!!! The War is Over will be the fifth single, and she'll be performing it at the Grammy's before collecting her win for WDKY...

I love Alone and I think it would do relatively well. A little iffy though cause it's generic.

I love that. It's much better than that hideous Voice set.

But look at the rest of the top 10 on itunes... Call me Maybe, Wild One, Starships, Glad You Came etc.

I do agree though, there are hints that the scene IS changing and moving away from dance. It's just that it's too early to tell now whether this is a temporary fad or a longer-term substantial shift in pop music. I HOPE it is, tbh, cause there are so many songs on Stronger that would then SMASH. The War is Over being a main one.... And LMD will still smash to gtfo haters
