Kelly has the top 2 spots on Rate The Music charts for Hot AC. Dark Side still hasn't shown up yet on Top 40 but don't forget to keep going there and rating!! This is a really good sign as I know for a fact music directors use these charts to see how well the public is receiving a song and if/when they get sick of it.

^ To explain that for some that may not know, I believe the Pop stands for Popularity which is self explanatory. The Fam is Familiarity, so that's an estimate of how many Hot AC listeners who rated are familiar with the song. The Burn (Fam) percentage is for the users that are familiar with DS but are tiring of it. So, Dark Side currently is the #1 song that people are not sick of, essentially, lol. But 82% of raters are familiar with it, so that's a great sign! Means that people are hearing the song and liking it. This will help it gain more spins as MD's will see that it's being received well. As opposed to the flawless Stronger, which 99% of people are familiar with it but 53% are sick of it, haha. 53% is actually still really low for the amount of spins it's gotten and amount of time it's been out.
New peak

J. Rome could win this contest.
