+112 spins on Pop! Insane! It's now #27 on Pop, and looks like it's going top 5 Rhythmic shortly. I knew Pop would catch on eventually...

I seriously am not a fan of dance music, but I love "Sexy Bitch".

That is lame, if it's true. I really can't believe that article, "Obsessed" has been taking off for a while now. Wouldn't they announce it was a "buzz" single after it had flopped? Maybe they're aiming for a #1 off the lead single, just to add to her achievements. I tell you, if the source is correct, it just makes MC and IDJ look like fools.

I think it's unfinished, just like "Strangers", to be honest. Anyway, it's pretty cool that she still managed to keep an organic feel to the song even though she was working with Justin Timberlake. The song itself isn't that great, but I wouldn't be displeased if it made the album as it's a nice laid-back, chill-out track. Her voice sounds ace, though.

Loving the sound of "Salute", but I've been anticipating that since the demo was released. Based on the clips, the record doesn't sound like it'll be amazing, but I won't fault it until I've heard the tracks in full. Some of the songs are way too generic sounding.

I chose "Fantasy". That, and "Honey" are her best lead singles. I think the only lead single I dislike is "Through the Rain". She's not known for blasting out brilliant lead singles, though. Most of them are average-good, with the later singles being really strong. And yes, I actually really like "Loverboy" (well, the remix). ^_^

And I thought her first single was poor, man...

She's one of the few artists who actually tries to please her fans, so I think she'll re-record some of the songs as the thought of another album full of "whispers" has garnered a poor reaction. She's always delaying albums, so it's not exactly shocking, but it's just aggrivating as she's one of the few artists I really anticipate.

I'm pissed, man. I'm dying to hear new material, but I guess this gives her time to make amendments (perhaps get rid of the "whisper" that has been creating so much negativity?). I'll still anticipate this, but "Obsessed" had it's best update in a week today on Pop and Rhythmic, so at least it'll give some extra time for "O" to peak.

Submission matches can actually be really strong (i.e. Jericho v. Benoit, Judgment Day 2000) but there are only a few stars who actually use submission moves, which is why a 2009 WWE PPV competed under submission rules will suck. And "Bragging Rights"? Wow, that's even worse than "Cyber Sunday".

'Taker's not scheduled to return until September, now (likely at "Breaking Point").

Yeah, that's a little aggrivating to be honest. But we'll never know who's cover was created first... On topic, I am starting to feel "Million Dollar Bill" after hearing the HQ version. I wish AK could've saved it for her record, but it's all good.

I love "Slow Dance", even if it's not the general consensus. It's such a great slow jam with smooth, slick production. "Energy" on the other hand is just generic. It's a lame choice of single for the UK.

I wasn't feeling the performance. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much. I never foresaw "Obsessed" being a great song to sing live. Here's to hoping it'll do something for it's chart performance, though...

I'm not too sure about "Million Dollar Bill" now, sorry guys. ;) This isn't really what I was expecting based on the reviews from the listening parties, but I'll reserve my judgment until we hear it in full.

Not yet. Why is the UK release set for October? That's just lame.

It's actually been really consistent. I thought it would've dropped harder after the first week, but since then the lowest it's dropped to is #24 I believe. It's looking good, especially as it's biggest gain in today's update was on Pop. ^_^

I believe he signed with Cash Money sometime last year. His first U.S. release will be later this year, with "Down" being the lead single.

Thanks for all of your comments.

Mariah is usually good with leaks, compared to other artists. I'm a little skeptical of her covering "I Wanna Know What Love Is". It's seriously my most hated song of all time. I have no idea why, as there are a lot of similar songs from around this era that I like, but it's just so cringeworthy. But hey, if anyone can change my opinion of a track, it's MC. ^_^ H.A.T.E. U needs to leak first, I'm anticipating this the most.
