But then again people are overly exaggerating when they say Kelly's songs take forever to take of.

To break it down, all of these following Kelly hits debuted in the top 50 before adds date:
A Moment Like This
Miss Independent
MKIA
Stronger
Walk Away
Never Again
Suck Without You
I Do Not Hook Up
Breakaway was released as a soundtrack single. Enough said. Still managed to debut a week after adds date.
Since U Been Gone debuted a week after the adds date for reason I don't know.
Because of you debuted 3 days after, so basically the same week as the adds date.
The longest song to take off in Kelly's career was Behind These Hazel eyes which debuted like a month after the adds date. That was only because radio was still on the Since U Been Gone bandwagon and wouldn't let go. It was basically the same situation as Stronger and Dark Side, only difference is that Hazel Eyes survived.
But my point is that all of Kelly's lead singles (with the exception of Breakaway which is actually not the lead single but a single from Princess Diaries soundtrack) debuted in the top 50 weeks before the adds date.
So when I see after 8 days that Kelly's new lead single is nowhere to be find on pop, it is very very very worrisome.
