Remember this week isn’t the week to deep analyse the songs data for second radio single, it’s next week when playlisting changes - FKOH has its earlier release playlisting still largely there (positive thing but song isn’t blowing up), rock Hudson has release week focus playlisting. These numbers would seemingly say that lighthouse is the song with best potential (although it’s not really a summer song). 

Couldn't lighthouse also be benefiting from the focus it got on Wednesday?

It has very poor streams Wednesday (15k) and Thursday was *okay* (62k) but it was on a few playlists including NMF UK so it’s not the cleanest analysis yet. Next week once release week playlists subside a bit will be easier analysis, although previous releases would have some playlisting (E.g. it would help for seeing any song released with album + lighthouse I guess)

As per requested in dms, I have found an old spreadsheet with data for MoL after release. I don’t have my one with every bit of data but I found one I’d made on the 2nd November 2017 (7 days after release)

 

A minute - 340,304

LSS - 11,994,619

Heat - 1,279,570

MoL - 2,082,497

MY - 1,599,003

WLW - 422,587

Medicine - 412,899

Cruel - 357,779

DI - 352,672

WYCTL - 360,149

IDTAY - 385,661

SD - 327,503

DYP - 294,694

GH - 389,517

 

total: 20,599,454

 

bare in mind, mol was released in an era where iTunes sales were still a thing in the USA (not really anywhere else tbh) so that wouldve impacted a bit. It’s curious to see that IDTABY does stand out a little bit from release, whereas its recurrents are not as good as WLW now. 
 

 

naturally, we can also see the earlier in track listing the more passive streams the songs get from an album though listen. 

LSS and MOL were really that *****.

When MOL came out, BB released an article with the update on Kelly's discography SPS. I wish we could get that again. I'm sure the numbers have grown in six years. It would be cool to see updated SPS numbers.

Chemistry’s overall numbers are better atm - LSS streaming numbers have been pretty poor, will be 3-4 years before it hits 100m, whereas broken and beautiful will hit 150 next year  it’s really weird to see how MoL’s numbers were meh. Like IDY would be the second most streamed song if it was on it. It almost seems like Atlantic still don’t really know how to get her numbers better 

Why haven't there been many reviews for MC? I'm surprised by this. 

I am warming up to the album a little bit more. I think this is how I would've done the singles rollout.

 

1. down to you (spring release with a music video)

2. favorite kind of high (summer release, belasco video and a remix with a rapper like cardi b since they're both on the same label)

3. lighthouse (fall/winter single with a music video)

4. chemistry (spring release, vegas live video)

True, but I think that's attributed to her being on her own show consistently compared to the Voice. But I just meant that people really were streaming the two songs the most out of the album on MoL lol

 

That said, I think @jpsketch said it best, she has the opportunities but she just says no more often than not.

I think Heat would’ve done amazing out of the gate instead of LSS. 
 

1. heat 

2. would you call that love

3. whole lotta woman 

4. meaning of life 

5. move you 

If Lighthouse doesn’t get a big push for a single I’m going to raise hell. It is ROTY/SOTY material.

I can see it already smashing yasss global hit Taylor wishes

i would've produced/engineered lighthouse differently. i think it would've been better as a piano ballad ala easy on me or a power rock ballad.

i mean if bonnie raitt could nag a SOTY nom for a barely known song, i think kelly could get a nom in that category if her team and atlantic campaign for it.

It’s just lyrically and melodically gorgeous. It will resonate with so many people if they get the chance to hear it. It hit me like a wall of bricks. 
 

I think it would also be stunning as a piano ballad and I could see her singing it as such live and releasing another version a la PBP. 
 

For the record, I am obviously a huge KC stan and always have been - there aren’t many songs of hers I would realistically say are ROTY/SOTY material but this is in my opinion.

It's good to know that not all of your takes are garbage. 

Might be unpopular opinion but I am adamant that LSS and Mine were great leads and prolly the best songs to represent the respective albums.

 

That being said, MOL's singles should have been LSS -> WYCTL -> WLW

The misinformation on the kce re streams is rather infuriating…

 

RFC 2 days > 100k (day 1 - 132k, day 15 - 101k)

 

ihl 1 day > 200k (day 1 - 201k), 5 days > 100k (days 2, 5, 7, 8, 22)

 

FKOH guetta 12 days > 100k (days 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 23)

 

fkoh 1 day > 300k (day 1 - 316k), 1 day > 200k (day 7 - 209k), 26 days > 100k (days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 26)

lighthouse 1 day > 100k (day 3 - 126k)

 

skip this part 1 day > 100k (day 1 - 103k)

Also probs worth saying, although we all probably have different views on second single, after Atlantic dropped the ball with WLW, it’s probably worth saying we as stans do everything (ie stream, playlist, insta stories etc) to support whatever is chosen as single despite preference 

 

that said, whatever they choose, I hope they actually have a plan for it. If it was meant to be FKOH, it’s a bit annoying they just left it there with no push before album as album first day streams for singles were all way above the expected from the partials based on single release 

Edited June 25, 20233 yr by BravoTangoWhiskey

This album already has taken over MoL's number 1 spot easily for me. The one two three punch of DTY, Chemistry and Magic > the latter half of MoL (which I always skipped).

 

Love So Soft was the perfect lead for MOL.

LSS > MOL > Medicine > WLW > WYCTL would’ve been a great singles run.

 

As for singles from Chemistry, I see y’all discussing next singles but have we even had a single yet? I don’t even think Mine had an official push? Regardless, Rock Hudson is the only obvious smash on Chemistry, I fear.

I mean if I was doing this era, I would’ve done:

 

down to you / mine (double release)

magic (summer)

lighthouse (autumn)

rock hudson/deluxe track (after Xmas)
