Also the album would of shipped undoubtedly more copies by now.
Promo for brand new songs that public haven't heard too often don't appear to do Kelly many favors, because all she does is stand there and the glamour gets focused on the other performers, contestants or the show. I can't think of any promotional performance that has given Kelly this era that has followed with a significant digital boost - except SNL which Kelly performed as WDKY was beginning it's blast off. The timing has just been a little off this era.

Do you remember the last time RCA rushed along an album? The All I Ever Wanted era lasted four months! I'm glad RCA has taken a slower approach with Stronger, and, yes, perhaps the timing on major promotional positions (BBMA, for example) has been slightly off, but it's been going extremely well so far. Besides, I don't know how you "plan" for a single to peak within a certain time range anyway.
