The Rick Ross remix definitely helped, still surprising though

 

 

 

this was one of those rare universal hits that simply destroyed the concept of genre when it came out. you can tell by where it charted that radio had no clue where to play it so they had no choice but to just play it everywhere. 

 

Hot 100: #1

Rhythmic: #1

Pop Airplay: #1

Hot R&B/Hip Hop: #9

Adult Contemporary: #13

Alternative Airplay: #16

definitley surprising coming from a group that was previously seen as hip-hop ONLY. one of the biggest and best songs of all time for a reason

I mean not THAT surprising given the complete sonic switch but Latto was strictly on Urban / Rhythmic radios before this. I'm surprised radio played it as much as they did too.

Outkast in general got some cross appeal
