Motivation is close to Silver without being officially released in UK 

 

She should have released Motivation in UK, especially the Diplo remix

[Xtripped]

Her voice sounds amazing on those electro tracks, she should release more often. I remember I was so obssesed with Rose Colored Glasses

Literally  It's such an underground smash for her. TBF, Here I Am was her dance era worldwide. Forever and a Day deserved to be a smash too

 We all thought Rose Colored Glasses was going to be her worldwide smash. Top 40 on Pop radio and then stalled. Motivation going US top 20 was so unexpected

I expected more for Simply Deep, I think it opened with 1/3 of that number. 

Anyway good.

Yes 100k first week UK  in March and Platinum by April

 

Last reported sales were 315k in 2003. I wonder how much it has now with streams

Love you & your dedication to Kelly on the forum <3

 

I've been paying Hitman a lot lately

[Scars]

She really had Europe in a chokehold during her electro pop moment. Surprised When Love Takes Over is only platinum.

[Bey_Rihstan]

She really should jump on the current dance trend and get a few more hits under her belt 

[MingYouToo]

I wanna go to a universe where Kelly competed with Beyoncé and had way more mainstream hits. Give her the career Rih has!

Thank you

 

Hitman is a bopppp. I thought Crazy would make more of an impact, being such a great hybrid of dance-pop, disco and r&b.

I expected more for WLTO too. It was huge. Certified 600k in 2013 and had 954k reported in 2020. It must be pretty close to 2x Plat. now

 

Plus it's still on iTunes in multiple countries  a true smashA

 

When Love Takes Over   iTunes: #58 Luxembourg #68 Sweden #72 Norway #76 Portugal Deezer: #98 Russia

[reymiu]

Oh I definitely prefer Crazy to Hitman...

 

Coffee + Crazy was a very good re-introduction for Kelly Rowland. 1 being R&B , 1 being more dance-friendly

Hopefully "Forever And A Day" joins the list! That was the perfect follow-up to Commander in the UK/EU market, but somehow it faltered.

 

"Can't Nobody" too. I remember that being a big record across the pond.

"Forever And A Day" deserved to be huge but only hit #49 and didn't hit the top 40 anywhere.

 

"Can't Nobody" hit #5 though. It too deserved more, esp. US and WW. It should have been her biggest hit from that album after Dilemma.

When Love Takes Over is now 2x Platinum!

 

Kelly is so close to 5M

[LesFleur]

"Motivation" now Silver for 200,000 units. It's overtaken "Down For Whatever" which peaked at #6 and had 177,000 reported units in 2020, whilst "Motivation" had 142,000.
