For an unknown artist, No. 29 is not bad, but for an AI alumni, it's a flop.<BR/><BR/>I really wished Billboard got their act together and made the Hot 100 a chart based on sales and only sales. Who gives a fuck about airplay?

The song...I think it depends on your expectations. The song peaked at #29, which is a heck of a lot better than a lot of artists I like do, but I would've really liked to see it go top 10. This isn't a post to denigrate Katharine or her music career--which is I'm guessing what you're thinking and inspired you to comment; I'm saying the song (which I really like) didn't hugely take off. It didn't really "cross over" like I was hoping it would. The gold record thing is a good point, though. I would just be very surprised if the record executives truly viewed that as success at the level they wanted, though perhaps I'm viewing that in the light of the performance of the followup single.Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-33745557987010923162007-12-23T21:47:00.000-05:002007-12-23T21:47:00.000-05:00"Over It" hardly "flopped."

That's not flopping, that's a successful single.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
