Free has shown staying power, but the problem is it's just not selling enough to get PD's on board to push her beyond this point. She's not even in the Top 1000 overall on iTunes, so around 670-700 spins is probably the max that critical acclaim, Halien pressure and her radio promo gigs can accomplish without a big dollar national marketing campaign (which ain't gonna happen).
Hopefully, she can linger in the Top 30, or near it, for another 3-4 weeks when an official add date for
Oh My! is likely to be announced. Her appearance on The View in a couple weeks should help keep her in the public eye before the big launch, which we all hope will have a huge impact a la Casey James with "Suitcase". Lalla with BoB should certainly make for a great kickoff.
