I'm referring to all hits.
"Turnin' Me On" was hardly a moderate hit. It was HUGE all across urban radio, peaking at #2 on the R&B charts. Despite missing the top 10, it still did very well on the pop charts.
So, in all fairness, she has three hits -- all features. Two if you exclude "The Way I Are."
As for the next single, I REALLY want it to be "Slow Dance." It's my favorite track on the album.

I dont think she should release a slow jam for her next single. I mean "Slow Dance" is one of the albums stand out tracks (waaaaaay better than "Get Your Money Up", that song is WEAK), but I dont know if her vocals plus that song length will turn into a hit that she needs to definitely clear 500k.
"Alienated" is the way to go AND she will prove she can have a hit on her own. If anything, I'd release "Slow Dance" as the LAST single for this album.

Isn't that all subjective?
to a degree.
IMO Boom Boom Pow is a stupid mess of auto-tuned sh*t, and it's mediocre at best. No matter how many time I listen to it I still don't like it. In fact I have less respect for the Black Eyed Peas everytime I listen to that song. Of course I don't expect any less from the Black Eyed Peas now a days.
Hollaback and Yeah are better songs. period.
Gwen did a flawless job with Hollaback, and it wasn't annoying, it was catchy. there's a difference.
Yeah was a piece of genuine crunk. The three artists especially were at the peak of their popularity.
All in all, the difference between Hollaback/ Yeah and Boom Boom Pow is that Hollaback/Yeah were exciting music while Boom Boom Pow is another annoying number that has been done by many many many many artists before them. It just seems calculated and uninspired.

There's about a gap of 15 million Audience Impressions between "Boom Boom Pow" & "Knock You Down".
Once "Boom Boom Pow" loses audience in big chunks "Knock You Down" will be at its doorstep to gladly take over the #1 spot. "Knock You Down" is making big radio airplay gains the past week.

"Knock You Down" is really a good look for her. I hope "Get Your Money Up" follows suit.
.... Even if you are a million miles away, I can still feel you in my bed, near me, touch me, feel me and even at the bottom of the sea, I can still hear you inside my head, telling me, touch me, feel me, and all the time you were telling me lies

Maybe 2 weeks. If were lucky next week. That's only if "Knock You Down" continues to get consistent big Audience Impression increases.

How is her position on the Hot 100 doing? Will she move up to #2, stay at #3 or fall a bit?

Well Keri's digital sales numbers this week should be increasing and Pitbull's should take a minor hit in sales. Both will have similar digital sales #'s this week. Keri has the edge in airplay right now so she stands an excellent chance to move up to #2 on the Hot 100.
However, if the Black Eyed Peas's "I Got A Feeling" sell in excess of 220k or more in downloads they will take the #2 spot on the Hot 100 and both Pitbull and Keri will drop down a spot or Keri may remain at #3.

Yeah "I Gotta Feeling" is totally exploding. Its airplay is still low but its moving up extremely quick.
Grammy FYC: Kanye West, 808s & Heartbreak; Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D.; John Legend, Evolver; Paolo Nutini, Sunny Side Up; David Guetta, One Love; Kelly Clarkson, "Already Gone"; Jordin Sparks, "Battlefield"; Kings Of Leon, "Use Somebody"; Maxwell, "Pretty Wings"
Toronto, I think you made a mistake in your last airplay chart. It should probably read w/ 3 days left, instead of 4.
Blender Magazine on Kelly Clarkson: " The Texas native has one of the great voices in pop music, a powerful and versatile instrument that’s steeped in the rhythm and blues and country music she grew up with in the South. If Mariah Carey’s five-octave voice is the equivalent of an expensively bred poodle, then Clarkson’s is a bloodhound: friendly, earthy, but fierce just the same."
Baltimore Examiner (concert review): "Her sultry voice is absolutely flawless. The tone and range floors you. When she belts out a note, it's precise yet powerful."
"Music is powerful, it's a drug that makes your inhibitions go away and leaves your vulnerabilities exposed" - KC
