After a brief visit, Bo and Blake bounce off the radio. It would seem that a Rhythmic DJ who likes Blake only gets to work once every other week. Kelly Clarkson’s new CD has fallen off the published airplay Mediabase charts. In the last week, “Never Again” has received spins on unmonitored Rhythmic stations and as a recurrent song on Pop. The second single “Sober” got no spins at all. Not something I would have predicted at the beginning of the year.
The Monday Morning Mediabase Chart will go on a 3 week hiatus starting next week.

Good thing Kelly will be working with Reba’s husband. She needs to trust somebody wiser, rather than making stupid decisions on her own. Clive offered to pay her to take just five songs off the album– that meant leaving 5 of her songs on the album– if she used five pop songs from other writers.
Thankful was not a big radio album. Breakaway was her first breakout hit in that department. If she wanted to have a big career, she needed to wait to make a more personal album until she was a more established artist.
Now she can’t afford to misfire with her next album– or she’ll turn into Clay– who is now a niche artist supported by a vocal fan base whose albums have no impact on anyone besides the said fan base.
I thought I heard Sober on a radio station I was streaming so it’s getting played somewhere. Of course, they never identified the artist so maybe it was another “Sober.” I agree that Kelly made some poor decisions. The third album seems to be a big flop and the battle with Clive hurt her image. It’s kind of sad to see her showing up on all these idol shows after years of keeping her distance from them as well.
That is entirely possible. Mediabase does not monitor every station in the US.
Here is the quick cut information for Kelly’s “Sober”:
http://www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMD.asp?SOngID=1514679&NumDays=7
Interestingly, there are 8 songs titled “Sober” in the Mediabase airplay chart. Tool’s “Sober” (1993) was played 564 times last week on a variety of formats. Staind’s “Sober” (2006) was played 20 times.
It was Kelly’s “Sober” that I heard. What a great song. Something you could imagine on a Bruce S. album. So sad to look at the quick cut and see it’s being played nowhere. It should at least be on an alternative rock station or something. Kelly needed a variety of songs on the album. Bummer.
Every week I wonder, so today I will ask…who keeps giving Ayla Brown airplay?
She’s down to two spins a week, so Mediabase doesn’t list who is playing her song (”No Format Leaders Detected”). Back in the day when she was in the 40s she got most of her spins in New Mexico and Texas (and other places in the South). One would have thought that she would have got some spins in her local Boston area, but not so much.
Ohmigod someone else has voiced my exact same question. Who indeed?
Re: Kelly. Remember earlier in the summer in the Blender article when Kelly said “I literally got told to my face that it wouldn’t sell more than 600,000 copies.” The estimates weren’t that far off were they? Hopefully her scaled down tour will spur sales.
I am really steamed about airplay. I am one of the few that love the cd. It’s a good damn cd. Sober is a great song. Irvine is incredible, and Yeah is fab too. I think that maybe Never Again was wrong for a first single, and I am not sure that Kelly was the one who chose that as the first single. Maybe if Yeah was the first, then Irvine, and the
Sober there might have been a different outcome. Anyway, it deserved better.

I always wonder the same thing! But then I figure it must be some relative who works as an overnight DJ someplace who slips her song in at like 3 am a couple times a month. Or maybe it’s an obsessed fan. Or maybe Ayla herself got a part-time radio gig just so she could keep her song on a chart somewhere.
