I still can't believe 'Drumming Song' has the lowest peak from all her singles, it's my favourite out of the singles!

It's good, but it was a totally daft choice when she has 'Cosmic Love', bafflingly they still keep avoiding it. :wacko:

Precocious R&B vocalist/pianist Alicia Keys was hand-picked by Clive Davis as one of the flagship artists for his post-Arista label, J Records. No doubt he was as impressed by her multitude of skills (Keys took a large role in the writing, arranging, and production of her debut album) as by her music, which mates contemporary hip-hop accoutrements to an old-school soul sensibility a la Jill Scott or D'Angelo. Only 20 years old at the time of the album's release, Keys already seemed poised for a major career built upon her soulful voice and classically trained piano chops. While hip-hop played a much bigger role on her second effort, 2003's THE DIARY OF ALICIA KEYS, it was a smash nonetheless, and subsequent recordings have further pushed the boundaries of R&B - HMV

This Alicia song got so boring without ever listening to it out of choice. :( Hope it falls away fast to make room for the superior 'Try Sleeping...'.

ALICIA! :wub: Really hope she'll manage to get her first Top 5 album here in the UK either this or next week (doesn't really matter when though) :wub:

 

LOVE the chart run too.

It's good, but it was a totally daft choice when she has 'Cosmic Love', bafflingly they still keep avoiding it.

 

Hmmm, maybe it was because it got to #3 in Ireland (#2 on downloads) so they just didn't bother releasing it in the UK, although it is still a pretty daft reason not to release it. And Hurricane Drunk is the next single. :unsure:

Well the next single is Empire State Of Mind II now

They wouldn't not release it because of that, although I would have thought that would be a reason to actually release it...

I know! I think they are avoiding Cosmic Love on purpose because they want to have an album track as a fan favourite. Ridiculous though. I mean, 'Hurricane Drunk'? WTF?

 

Anyway, that Alicia song really 'doesn't mean anything' to me (pun intended). TSWABH (:wub:) is so so much better. Shame that might not get a release here :(

whenever i hear a Glee song i tend to think of all those tacky TOTP album cover songs from the 70's

 

someone remind me what is the point in Glee ????? its squeaky brats singing cover songs

Has she never had a top 5 album in the UK? :o
Nope. :( Her highest peaking album is #6 for 'Songs in A Minor' (Her debut). But all of them have sold nearly 1 million in total sales (each) I think. (Could be wrong though). She has incredible staying power though.

Very wrong, none of the others have came close to a million.

A source does state that 'Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart' will be getting released after ESOMPTII. But that source is Wikipedia...

Lol - whilst reading the Barbra Streisand Wikipedia page, he was by the look of it just reading the facts off there, have a look.

The Los Angeles-based hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas has made a name for itself by taking an eclectic and organic approach to rap, R&B, and funk. Led by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Will.I.Am., the band also includes two other MCs, Apl.de.Ap. and Taboo, along with vocalist Fergie, and a live backing band. Building a steady buzz with its first two releases, Black Eyed Peas garnered mainstream attention with the 2003 album, ELEPHUNK, which launched Fergie's solo career and helped make Will.I.Am one of the most in-demand producers in hip-hop, pop, and R&B for several years to come. - HMV
