charts discussion Bigger R&B Classic: If I Ain’t Got You vs Be Without You vs Heaven Sent

[Katamari]

alicia won this one tbh 

[chiliam]

Iiagy is a global classic. A singing show and karaoke stable. I love in South east Asia and every e know that song even though they dont listen to USUK music that much

All 3 are amazing, I almost can't choose. Be Without You was the biggest of the 3.

 

I honestly prefer You Don't Know My Name to If I Ain't Got You though.

omg, SAME. IIAGY is good but it was/is so overplayed whereas YDKMN still sounds fresh. I miss Kanye producing R&B.

Whew Be Without You is a masterpiece. She really is THAT girl. Mary’’s catalogue is truly a magnus opus.  
 

Now Heaven Sent is also a classic for me. Me and friends blasting it in the car and singing. The callback>>> However, but just can’t compete here w/ BWY. 

[www]

If I aint got you, by far.

[naval23]

Be Without You easily

 

Let's remember it was the #1 R&B song of 2005 and outranked "We Belong Together" there 

 

Be Without You > If I Ain't Got You > Heaven Sent

Idk that Keyshia song ngl

 

But i want to give this to Alicia- its a classic, just as good as BWU, and i hear it a lot more among my generation by far. Yet BWU was an experience for non-secular music little me so i might have to let Mary have this one

If I Ain't Got You is a global classic.

i don't really remember that Keyshia Cole song even though it was one of her biggest at Urban . for me Love was her best song  and it is her most streamed on Spotify.

I love all three, but Alicia's IIAGY BODIED the others.

I love Be Without You, but it's definitely If I Ain't Got You.

 

The streams say everything.
