Kyle_Jared Posted September 9, 2013 at 12:57 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 12:57 AM (edited) Before they target top 40, why not target HOT AC or Adult Top 40; stations where acts like Train, Matchbox 20, Adele, etc are at the top of the charts; LMBTL would fit in quite well there... and then, get Seacrest on the West to play the Song and Z100 on the East to play it by having her visit the station. I can't for the life of me understand why Rene/Sony don't see this---or maybe they do, and are waiting. I do remember in 2007, Taking Chances really taking off after the American Music Awards performance, I think reaching like #22 on the iTunes chart, as it's seen by about 7-10 million people. I would LOVE for her to do that show this November (perfect timing!) but she'll be Eurpoe . Hopefully she does something with similar numbers; X-factor USA or, preferably the Voice Edited September 9, 2013 at 12:59 AM by Kyle_Jared 1 Quote

QueenCeline87 Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:24 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:24 AM How about the EMAs?? She will be in Europe around that time. Would be great to see her perform there.

J081113 Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:43 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:43 AM EPIC PERFORMANCE, after this she peaked at #23 on iTunes USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UxqFlEP9hQ Yes she had never looked better here! BTW....wasn't the makeup done by Scott Barnes? J.Lo's BFF? She looks awesome and he is very cool! Quote
PuraVida Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:44 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 01:44 AM I never knew that the "Taking Chances" AMA was live!!!! Actually don't think I've ever seen it before..... Guess I got it confused with the WMA performance of the song that year.... Quote

Kyle_Jared Posted September 9, 2013 at 02:29 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 02:29 AM When are the AMA's this year? Could you imagine LMBTL on the show?? unreal. Ain't gonna happen sadly UNLESS, they use the Quebec footage and she gets a special award she accepts via Satelitte. OH, I can dream. Quote
khader Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:36 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:36 AM down to #105 at itunes U.S chart !! Quote
isurrender Posted September 9, 2013 at 09:32 AM Posted September 9, 2013 at 09:32 AM (edited) Actually, it makes perfect sense and logical. Even Sony has to know that Top 40 radio will not play Celine songs. Sorry but it doesn't make sense to me : what's the point in recording a song like this written by Sia ( who had 2 real big hits last year : Titanium and DIamonds) and to stick to AC radios? I don't think she did just because she liked the song. Just sayin'. And let's face it : if she can't get a hit with this song, she'll never get one anymore. Also I can't believe that this song isn't played by any radio anywhere : I mean onLy 1 play in the UK? Not even the smallest local radio without any impact? Not only in the UK but everywhere... It looks like this song hasn't been released. Edited September 9, 2013 at 09:33 AM by isurrender 3 Quote

ehild Posted September 9, 2013 at 03:59 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 03:59 PM The song is NOT underperforming. It isn't receiving any airplay whatsoever anywhere outside of the US, she hasn't performed the song on any television show other than once on an 11:30pm show, watched by 2 million people. I told you guys before the song was released not to get your hopes up - she isn't a singles artist, and never has been, yet you persist on holding her to a higher commercial standard than she's capable of meeting these days. Take comfort in the likelihood that she will climb back into the top 40 this week after performing on Ellen.I'm hoping for that too! 1 Quote ~Liz"Please don't make your career your life.

dj4celine Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:22 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:22 PM good? relatively?With Zero promotion there, I'd say it was expected. Although there are a number of promotions set up for the US and Canada, nothing is there for Europe as of now. She'll probably promote the album instead of the single here 1 Quote
DionFanAlways Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:26 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:26 PM Not sure if this is the right place to post this here but Sunny 99 in Houston played it again and has a New Music section for it! I think it's a Clear Channel station??? It is AC radio station! Quote I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.
mike_z Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:29 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:29 PM Those are good news! Apparently it debuted at #1 on Belgium Wallonia's Ultratip Chart, where "Taking Chances" had peaked at #29 so yeah, call it the "Without Waiting" effect! 1 Quote
wjd Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:35 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:35 PM The UK position is disastrous regardless of promotion/any circumstances - the song will almost certainly crash out of the UK charts next week, and will thus become her least successful UK chart entry of all-time. Unless a miracle happens, the era is off to a bad start in the UK - I have heard nothing about Sony sending this for adds to UK radio yet, no promotion of any kind whatsoever other than the occasional UK blog mention.

Ororo Munroe Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:53 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:53 PM What the hell, why don't they give her a chance to have an other hit, please how is it possible ? This song deserves it ! 2 Quote
Wita19 Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:53 PM Posted September 9, 2013 at 04:53 PM and GOD... will we ever se her sexier than here? The sexiest performance IMO.She was dancing on the stage, seducing the audience by her look, having a great time! (Actually, she usually does.) And she looked hot in that dress.

I think it might be that there is no promotion at all in the UK. So general public don't know about the song. >_< Edited September 9, 2013 at 05:24 PM by chawatak 1 Quote LISTEN TO NEW SONG"Flying On My Own" ON REPEAT!!!> https://vimeo.com/328324551

I still haven't heard it even once on radio here in Ireland :-( Hopefully promo this week will help bring it back up the charts!
