damn! American Idol seems to do nothing! she should have performed "Ain't Nobody" and release it as next single for Pop! this single would sell the album perfectly!

The song that she performed has very little to no connection to the sales discrease. She didn't slipt, it wasn't lipsynched, it wasn't a bad song... The performance was great and upbeat ! The album sold less when she promoted it, then when it wasn't. That is what's matter, and that's what's questionnable.
Do they need to send more albums to the stores ?

Funny how America gave its response to the song, yet you seem confused.

It's the song, not the performance (Promo).

I tend to agree....pop-oriented song ala "Ain't Nobody" would be a good gun in order to accelerate sales of the album and get some digital sales. Urban radios will support next urban single, which still remains essential tool for charting for Mary's urban singles which usually sell nothing digitally.

MJB needs to do a radio tour. She has to put in more work if "Why" is going to be a hit! I don't think it is over yet if she does some ground work and not just tv promo.

by **iNewYorker** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:24 pm

"Why" won't be a hit. Mary's team needs to pull a "Work That" & scrap the video, don't perform the song, & just forget about it & go with "Don't Mind" as the full next single.

Adult radio will appreciate "Why".

i agree, i don't even like that song, kinda boring! She should have gone with double single: "Ain't Nobody" and "Don't Mind". Final single should be slow one: "Empty Prayers"

Eugene do you know how much the album sold this week ?

by **MO_FAN95** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 7:19 pm

I find it quite funny how Why can't seem to make an impact but Mr. Wrong can still have a small increase on the charts WITH a bullet! :lol:

by **danbarj** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:04 pm

I think "Why" will be a grower and really start to smash urban radio as spring grows. The song fits urban radio for the spring and summer and, therefore, I think it will eventually do well!

I prefer growers and, with the right promotion, should help the album with longevity! I hope she promotes through singles and performances, with discounts, through the end of the year.

Thank you !
It seems like they think a song is a flop once it's not directly at 22M aud the first 3 days... Mr. Wrong took months to do what it did.
These urban songs have to grow to reach their peak so please wait !
