Taylor just release two songs with about two weeks apart, "Picture To Burn" and "Our Song" with accompanying videos. Don't believe "Picture" will do very well, but "Our Song" may....Many artists release singles, back to back.....probably by the "tracking" of response from country radio and other "gages" as to whether the song has a chance for a top 10 or even top 20. What we need to be platinum by Christmas: video for TTNCAMM, release of My Angel with video and a bonus of "Santa Baby" (cd) included in all STG's albums.....around Christmas, it would "go through the roof"....Had said earlier a dvd, but that is way too expensive...would not be "cost effective".....but a cd ???? Don't know how much that would cost either but it would work as far as sales go. Only the accountants would know how it would affect "bottom line"....and even though all of us LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Kellie, believe as far as her label goes, it is ALL about money. Also, her exposure on TV's "Smarter" will definitely help her and would hope her management (booking agent) will get her on some of the shows to promote TTNCAMM, Santa Baby, and My Angel....always gets a great boost from this kind of exposure.

Taylor doesn't have a video for "Picture to Burn" nor has it been released as a single. Not sure why that keeps coming up.
Personally I think Kellie's strength is in her uptempo songs, fun upbeat. I think releasing "My Angel" would be a mistake. Songs with so much personal meaning behind them are often better received after an audience is fully acquainted with the artist and knows the story behind it. I'd actually root for "Small Town Girl" or "Gotta Keep Moving" or if we go with ballad "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You"
And to respond to your question in the next post its the album shipped. I believe she's at around 700,000 shipped, but that won't make a big difference. Unless sales boom over the next few weeks they won't begin shipping out large quantities of cds.
