April 15, 201015 yr The official remix featuring Drake should be dropping soon. Debuts at #88 on the Hot 100, and is currently #17 on Urban radio. So thrilled to see this becoming a hit.
April 15, 201015 yr was really surprised to hear this had been picked as a single. Its a good track...but not very commercial at all! :huh:
April 15, 201015 yr was really surprised to hear this had been picked as a single. Its a good track...but not very commercial at all! :huh: It's not overly mainstream, but it's smooth production and silky vocals make it scream hit on U.S. R&B radio - and that's exactly what's happening. So pleased, the drums complement Alicia's sensual vocal so well.

I was hoping Wait Till You See My Smile would be a single instead...it is so beautiful :) Does anyone know why radio didnt really play Doesn't Mean Anything in America?? It kinda underperformed, especially considering it was a lead single. All her other singles from her previous albums got LOADS of airplay in America before :huh:
April 16, 201015 yr She's never really been a massive Pop staple, and seems to only have one or two real Pop hits per album. I think this time around, while "Doesn't Mean Anything" is a good track, it didn't have the fire that "No One" did when it was released at the time. It's OK though, she is an R&B artist and "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart" peaked at #2 on her core format. "Un-thinkable" looks like it's going to the top though.
April 16, 201015 yr Love it, great choice! Would like Put It In A Love Song to get a release... what happened with that? I'm sure I read Alicia and Beyonce had shot the video for it? Or am I wrong? :blush:

Or am I wrong? :blush: No, you're right. A video was due to be released (as it has been shot), but when the song was sent for radio adds, it flopped hard. Even though it was unsuccessful, I believe they're going to push the song harder after "Un-thinkable" smashes.
April 20, 201015 yr http://twitpic.com/1gzcpf Pic from the set of the "Unthinkable" video. Looking hot, as usual.
April 21, 201015 yr Her label I don't think will release this in the fourth UK single. I love this song but Put It In a Love Song screams summer.
April 23, 201015 yr I was hoping Wait Till You See My Smile would be a single instead...it is so beautiful :) Does anyone know why radio didnt really play Doesn't Mean Anything in America?? It kinda underperformed, especially considering it was a lead single. All her other singles from her previous albums got LOADS of airplay in America before :huh: I think they didn´´t play DMA because she had two songs being big hits already:new york was at number 1, and She sang a song with Alejandro sanz that also peak at one in the latin charts...so a third hit at the same time was too much... and I still think her song with beyonc´´e will be a hit
April 29, 201015 yr New peak of #58 on the Hot 100. Currently sitting at #9 on Urban, #10 on Urban AC & #29 on Rhythmic radio. This will be the biggest hit off "The Element of Freedom".
April 30, 201015 yr This song has been growing on me these past few days. I'm starting to see the appeal a hell of alot more now :wub: Glad it's looking like it's going to be her biggest hit this era in the US. Really hope it manages to sell the album some more too :D
April 30, 201015 yr Im suprised this is so high on the hot 100 considering its not even top 100 on itunes, it must be doing really well on radio.

Im yet to be convinced it will out-peak TSWABH on the Hot 100....the download sales for it are pretty non existent!!!
April 30, 201015 yr Wow. This becomming a hit comes to me as a surprise. Obviously this is one of the best tracks from the album for me but I never thought I'd be actually doing well.
May 1, 201015 yr Im yet to be convinced it will out-peak TSWABH on the Hot 100....the download sales for it are pretty non existent!!! With it's rapid spin increase at radio, it may well outpeak "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart". I'm not sure if it will on the Hot 100, but I think this is going to the top of the R&B charts ("TSWABH" peaked at #2).
