Taste of Honey Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Be Without You. Shake It Off is a cute little bop, but that pretty much sums it up. Edited April 25 by Taste of Honey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batsy Armada Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 "Be Without You," for sure. The release of that song, and the overall album release, was such a great moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive Taste Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) By God, for a second I thought the "Shake It Off" in question was Taylor Swift's. Edited April 26 by Expensive Taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Be Without You is the #1 R&B song of All-Time according to Billboard "Shake It Off" was cute but "Be Without You" outsold in year-end positions, worldwide peaks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarajukuPrincess Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Be Without You is one of MJB's signature hits. Shake It Off was a hit, but not even one of Mimi's biggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked what's the biggest R&B classic. Be Without You spent 15 weeks at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, We Belong Together 14 weeks. And BWY had a lot more longevity than WBT. It broke the record for the longest-running single in the existence of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, where it spent a total of 75 weeks on that chart. (Only surpassed by Miguel's Sure Thing since then) 75 weeks – "Be Without You" – Mary J. Blige (2005) 52 weeks – "We Belong Together" – Mariah Carey (2005) Be Without You is ranked at #1 on Billboard's list of the biggest songs of all time on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs. We Belong Together is #11. Edited April 26 by Stankonia 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
