Unleashed Friday (August 30), the clip – directed by Tanu Muino – sees the 34-year-old and her beloved pooch, Nugget Perry, take to the dog show to compete for ‘best in show.’  And, while she was deemed a winner in the visual, real-time Spotify and iTunes charts reveal the tune is lagging behind the real-world competition as it is completely absent from both tallies despite the support of the critically acclaimed video (which has amassed 11 million views on Youtube to date).
