thetea Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 yasss. it's a classic R&B song. Ashanti ruled the early 2000s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) This is fantastic.  The song was never released as a CD single, and 80-90% of Hot 100 #1 hits circa. 2001-2004/2005 were entirely airplay driven (unless they were released physically which only contributed a very small amount of points or they were charity/award show winners songs).  An R&B classic. Edited October 19, 2021 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnanimousBB16 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yas girl. Even more impressive, since essentially all of those points came from residuals. A true classic. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, EnoughSaid said: All the songs from the pre digital era are extremely under certified It depends on the song.  The best selling song of 2000 was Madonna’s “Music” which sold 1.2M units, and it still remains the best selling CD single of the 21st century thus far in the U.S.  The best selling song of 2001 was Mariah Carey’s “Loverboy” which sold 571K units followed by Janet Jackson’s “All For You” which sold 545K units.  In 2002/2003/2004, the best selling songs, the top two best selling songs in fact, were all American Idol singles.  •2002 - Kelly Clarkson: 800K •2003 - Clay Aiken: 960K •2004: Fantasia: 490K  Most singles that topped the Hot 100 between 2001-2004 were never released as CD singles and if they were then there shipments were extremely limited. The only songs that were released physically, for the most part, were by non-Urban (Pop/Rock) artists who obviously wouldn’t receive the dominant airplay that Urban/Rhythmic radio provided at the time ie. Pink, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, No Doubt, Evanescence, Maroon 5 and so on this it helped them chart higher.  Beyoncé, Usher, J.Lo, Nelly etc. released a few CD singles but it didn’t matter as they usually received maximum airplay on Pop/Rhythmic/Urban/Urban AC anyway.  Edited October 19, 2021 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naval23 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 An absolute CLASSIC, her debut was absolutely insane - a 500k+ debut and 10 week #1 and blocking g herself at #2 with What's Luv because Foolish was too massive  The closer hits so hard  Baby why you hurt me? Leave me and desert me Boy I gave you all my heart And all you do is tear it up Looking out my window Knowing that I should go Even when I pack my bags see something always holds me back...   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
