Hilarity, like Ashlee and Lindsay, never been marketed particularly heavily or even with any degree of commitment in the UK. A UK-friendly sound has only barely changed this (she came over and did a live PA at G-A-Y and I think maybe a TV show).
For whatever reason Sony really held back with the Ciara push here - the UK Sony rep didn't really seem to know why. The logic may have gone: ignore 'Get Up' as it's not really the Big Lead Single; Ciara's profile isn't high enough to launch her in December here, and in any case 'Promise' not a particularly UK-friendly single compared to 'Like A Boy'; January would have been logical but I understand that's when she was filming the 'Like A Boy' video.
I'd completely forgotten about 'Keep Holding On'. It was so bad!
