    Michael Jackson – Love Never Felt So Good


    Am 9. Mai soll es erscheinen: "Xscape", das neue Album von Michael Jackson.
    Eine Woche vorher: Die - nicht unbedingt mit Spannung erwartete- erste Singleauskopplung.
    Ein Song, der vor mehr als dreißig Jahren ineiner Zusammenarbeit mit Musik-Legende Paul Anka entstand.
    Die Original-(Demo-)Aufnahmen aus dem Jahr 1983 wurden für "Xscape" neu produziert und siehe da: Das Ergebnis überzeugt! Statt Resterampe ein wirklich guter Song, der es durchaus auch auf ein 'reguläres' Michael-Jackson-Album hätte schaffen können.

    The lead track from 'Xscape,' the late King of Pop's album due May 13,
    is headed to this week's Hot 100 thanks to a strong first few days of
    sales, airplay and streaming


    Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake's sleek new duet, "Love Never Felt
    So Good," will enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week following
    its first few days of availability.


    The song appears on "Xscape,"
    an album of eight tracks of Jackson's vocals set to new music from
    Timbaland and J-Roc, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and John McClain (a former
    A&M Records executive and co-executor of the Jackson estate). The
    set arrives May 13.


    "Good" premiered on the iHeartRadio Music Awards, broadcast on NBC on
    May 1, and was then made available for digital purchase. (Instead of
    Timberlake, Usher danced to the song on the broadcast.)


    Fueling its Hot 100 start? Solid initial sales and airplay, which should
    send the song, available as a solo Jackson recording and in a duet
    version with Timberlake, onto this week's Hot 100 in the list's lower
    half. Streaming activity since its premiere will also contribute to its
    debut rank. While "Good" is not yet available across on-demand
    subscription services, it's has racked 960,000 views on YouTube so far,
    split between its official audio clip on Vevo (which was released May 1)
    and user-generated YouTube clips.



    Highlights of the Hot 100 will post on Billboard.com on Wednesday (May
    7), while the chart will post in its entirety the following day.


    "Good" will mark Jackson's 49th Hot 100 entry and second since his 2009
    death. "Hold My Hand," with Akon, reached No. 39 in January 2011. That
    collaboration was released from the posthumous "Michael " album, which
    debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 3 and has sold 540,000 copies in the
    U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.


    Jackson boasts 13 Hot 100 No. 1s, the most among solo males in the
    chart's 55-year history. Only the Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (18)
    have totaled more No. 1s, with Rihanna also having notched 13 leaders.


    STRONG SALES


    Industry forecasters suggest that "Good" may have sold more than 60,000
    downloads in the week ending Sunday, May 4. That sum would've been
    generated from only three full days of sales, as the song reached
    retailers late on Thursday (May 1), after its premiere earlier that
    evening.



    Certainly, "Good" is buoyed by the availability of the duet version with
    Timberlake, which accounts for the bulk of the song's overall sales.
    (Both the Jackson solo version and the duet are combined for sales
    tracking and charting purposes.)


    If "Good" debuts with more than 60,000 downloads sold, that would
    outpace the opening of "Hold My Hand." That song sold 19,000 in a
    similar opening time frame, and served as the first radio-promoted
    single from "Michael." It was released on a Friday (Nov. 19, 2010), so
    it had less than three full days of sales in its first week (ending Nov.
    21). "Hold" then sold 44,000 in its first full week of availability
    (the frame ending Nov. 28).


    RADIO ROLLOUT


    Meanwhile, "Good" has also garnered a strong response at radio and
    appears on track for a debut on the 50-position Radio Songs chart. As of
    this posting, the cut has drawn 31 million all-format radio audience
    impressions since its first plays on Friday. On this week's airplay
    charts (highlights of which will post later today, while the full
    charts, along with all others, will update on Thursday), it makes
    multiple debuts, starting on Adult R&B Songs (No. 19), Adult
    Contemporary (No. 23), R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 28) and Adult Pop
    Songs (No. 40).


    As part of Clear Channel's promotional synergy after the premiere of the
    song on the iHeartRadio Music Awards, "Good" received hourly plays the
    following day on a multitude of the company's pop, adult and
    R&B/hip-hop stations, greatly contributing to its airplay so far.


    Still, the station that has played "Good" the most is CBS Radio-owned
    adult contemporary KYXY San Diego (and, thus, did not contribute to
    Clear Channel's concentrated play). The station has given the duet 37
    plays (though Sunday). "We loved the song the instant we previewed it,"
    says KYXY program director Charlie Quinn. "It felt familiar and right in
    line with audience expectations for a Michael song."


    As for its long-term fortunes, Quinn is optimistic. "Timberlake and the
    production value definitely elevate it beyond a novelty."


    "Two icons coming together for a great groove," is how Alex Tear, Clear
    Channel vp of programming/Miami, top 40 national brand coordinator and
    PD of Pop Songs reporter WHYI, describes the track. The station has
    played "Good" 13 times through May 4. "Hearing and watching the debut
    [of 'Good' during the iHeartRadio Music Awards] certainly played a role
    in inspiring listeners' passion and for them to request it. News
    traveled fast across the generations, lighting up social media and text
    requests all weekend."




    Tear concurs that the song could sustain widespread interest following its splashy start.


    "It's smooth and will certainly have a pop-culture impact. It's a great way to begin rolling into summer."

    Jetzt bin ich verwirrt. Also ist "love never felt so good" ein Cover :?

  • Zitat

    ’Love Never Felt So Good’ was written by Michael Jackson with Paul Anka and Kathy Wakefield back in the early 80s. Johnny Mathis then took the song and released his own version ‘You’re A Special Part Of Me’ in 1984. Now here we are 20 years later and Michael Jackson's version of the song is finally premiering on the radio airwaves tomorrow morning.

    Ich aber gelobte mir,
    mich niemals abstumpfen zu lassen
    und den Vorwurf der Sentimentalität
    niemals zu fürchten.

    Albert Schweitzer

    Also der Song groovt definitiv!

  • hm...wieso 'peinlich'? JT kann ja nix dafür, dass unser liebes youtube so kacka is :D


    nunja, ich denke auf einer webseite könnte man das auch anders einbinden, geht dann halt vielleicht nicht ganz so einfach :)


    aber is ja nicht so schlimm, mir ist es nur aufgefallen, erstmal ist es ja positiv zu erwähnen das es überhaupt auf der seite ist.

  • Jetzt bin ich verwirrt. Also ist "love never felt so good" ein Cover :?


    Die Johnny Mathis Version ist das Cover. Wurde 1984 veröffentlicht. Die Michael/Anka-Demo ist von 1983.
    Das gleiche war auch mit This Is It und Behind The Mask passiert. Das "Cover" von anderen Künstlern erschien vor dem Original. :)

  • After
    only 3 days sales counted, the lead track from 'Xscape,' Jackson's new
    album, enters the Hot 100 at No. 20 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No.
    6.


    It’s a royal return for the King of Pop to the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Michael Jackson's "Love Never
    Felt So Good" with Justin Timberlake makes splashy debuts at No. 20 on
    the Hot 100
    and No. 6 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The track is the
    first single from Jackson's posthumous album "Xscape," due Tuesday (May
    13).
