naval23 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 A top 10 Hot 100 hit and #2 Airplay hit in 2006 Ciara's hook is everything
RihFenty20 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 This one was a little too urban for my taste but she sounded nice on the hook
Attitude Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Release The Evolution on vinyl and include this as a bonus track.
professor2000 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 One of her best songs imo. I love the video version with the additional adlibs. It always annoyed me that wasn’t on the regular version lol.
Subzero Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 A BOP My mom used to love this song and still plays it from time to time
JoAddams Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) classic bop Fun fact: promo pic from video was used for Get Up single cover Edited May 7, 2022 by JoAddams
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) @naval23 Ciara, circa. 2004/2006, had a Hot 100 streak of iconic proportions. • Goodies: #1 • 1,2 Step: #2 • Oh: #2 • Lose Control: #3 • Like You: #3 • Get Up: #7 • So What: #10 7 top ten hits in 18 months.

Damn Promise really killed her hype.. I love Promise but looking back, it shouldn't have been released as the album-launching single. It also killed Ciara's commercial viability as well Like a Boy should have been released instead.

To be fair, “Promise” peaked at #11 on the Hot 100, with most of its points stemming from airplay where it peaked at #3 with 100M AI. It was the songs digital sales that did it a disservice. It peaked at #20 on the Hot Digital Songs chart. Albeit it was 2006, by Q3/Q4, digital downloads were gaining more and more traction every week and were starting to contribute more to a songs performance than radio like years prior. I agree that the “Evolution” era was quite mismanaged and completely halted her traction - she had such a great start. Edited May 8, 2022 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto

A 1-2-3-4-5 punch of top 3 hits in the span of a year The OG Rihanna without the longevity

She's not established enough to release the 2nd album in Q3/4. While I prefer C's music to R's, C just doesn't have an ear for hits. Even when her albums had potential hits, C lost the opportunities (G is for Girl, Turn It Up, Livin' It Up)
