The curse of the white guy with a guitar continues......shame, "vision of love" is a good song. The hook is amazing.

Monster will SMASH if he gets good promo and such and if RCA does not give up on him.

On the plus side, here was his radio update today on HAC:

+14 Spins

A +90 Bullet

Looks like the Kris rumor about being dropped was all heresay:

Kris visited a radio station today and addressed the American Idol rumors:

http://www.hot995.com/pages/toby.htm...#ixzz1wHRY1xlo

Additionally:

Knapp talked with RCA records senior executives this morning and he said that they said they are more than committed to Allen as an artist, highlighting that he had massive upward movement of over 100 spins THIS WEEK on Adult Pop radio stations in the US, and that once he's established success on those charts, the label plans to cross him over to mainstream pop audiences.

So does this mean they won't drop him?

For the time being they won't.

They're going the Gavin DeGraw route and hoping TVOL will achieve success on HAC before sending it to Pop.

It worked for Gavin, who's still in the Billboard 200 with nearly 150k sales after opening with just 34k, it should work for Kris if fans start requesting.

TVOL is climbing well on its own right now, it's up to us to help. I will post all the request links within half an hour.

^ How can fans outside the US help in requesting/ voting?

[GreasyBruce]

Of course they're going to say that to save face, but he just sold 16k copies his first week. 16k. Let that sink in for a bit. Gym Class Heroes does that kind of number but they get multiple hits per album. And not just HAC hits, but Top 10 billboard hits. I don't want to see him dropped, but his fans should brace themselves or they might be really crushed.

He's too good to flop
Hopefully TVOL will turn into a Hot AC hit. I'm fine with Kris finding success as a Hot AC artist.

Well they just said that today and obviously knew Kris' sales were projected to be very low. They've hardly supported the album and have pretty much followed Gavin's last era to a tea, except he got more promo even though his single wasn't that high yet.

They didn't send TVOL to Pop so all these expectations for it or the album too have smashed are unfounded.

I'll post the links in a few. It's as easy as entering your name, email address, the city for which you are requesting the song (which will be provided) and the zip code (also provided).

I posted the links on Pulse and BMK (a Britney fansite with some dedicated fans) but I have to post it from online rather than my phone because the links don't come out right via my iPhone.

If everyone who frequents this thread were to take 10 minutes out of their day to request on a few of the same links, programmers would take notice and play the song accordingly.

HAC

31 Kris Allen The Vision of Love 473 393 80 1.145
+6 Spins
-10 Bullet
-0.033 AI

The two New York stations & Chicago played the song 1 or 2 spins less than last week, which is why there's a bigger AI decrease than there would normally be.

TVOL fell down one spot, thanks to Katy's big increase, which put Wide Awake ahead of Kris by one spin. The +80 Bullet maintains it's bullet higher than the 8 songs ahead of him except Wide Awake. Let's get to requesting guys!

[eteru]

I'm loving "Better With You" now.

[Heels Over Head]

I finally bought my own copy of Thank You Camellia. I know I'm late lol

Thank you for the explanation. I am requesting the song on the links you gave. I hope I can see some increase in both AI and spins in the coming days.

Why can't they just push him on both markets at once? The songs have Top 40 appeal.

Loves Me Not needs to be single #2. Such a global smash.
