Was ‘Never Again’ a case of label sabotage?
by
In an interview today with XM Radio Kelly gave the following quote:
DJ: I feel like pop radio, across the country, in general, didn’t give you a fair shot [with Never Again]. For whatever reason.
Kelly Clarkson: Well, we had a lot going against me… A lot of people and a lot of things kind of fighting against me. I called that from the beginning. I mean, when I decided on that for the single, I knew it wasn’t going to… because it’s not as mainstream, I know, I get it. And nothing is going to be popular if you don’t have people backing you full on, like they promote other stuff. I said that as PC as I possibly could. I love people that are actually playing it, it’s pretty awesome.
Hey, hey I wonder who she, she is talking about??

[...] When ‘Never Again’ hit the airwaves on April 23rd it exploded like an atomic bomb. It cleared past every song in it’s path all with a bullet close to 2000.* It reached #21 on pop airplay and then…something strange happened. The numbers took a tumble. A big tumble. Radio didn’t even put the song on life support, it just pulled the plug. Soon Kelly was dropping into the 30s with a -600. What caused this? Was reaction to the song from listeners negative? Was radio reacting to the unfavorable press between Kelly and label boss Clive Davis? Did Davis himself help impair the songs performance? (See previous story Was ‘Never Again’ a case of label sabotage?) [...]
