Alicia only got to 1.5 million because she released the album in December and sold 65% of that amount in the first 4 weeks the album was out, otherwise she would have even struggled to hit a million in sales. The album had poor a chart run and poor sales, even when 'Un-thinkable' was spending several weeks at the top of the R&B charts in the spring. As for 'Party' being the last Urban hit on the album, you've clearly not listened to it. You doubt it will smash? Have you even been checking the Urban chart lately? We can argue about release dates, but at the end of the day Alicia hit 1.5 mil. Yes, I have seen the charts and I didn't say it wouldn't be an urban hit, I said it wouldn't smash like Unthinkable did(14 weeks at #1, one of the biggest r&b hits of all time). I've also heard the album and the boring ballads left, and yes I still think Party will be the last urban hit(top 5 or even top 10 material). Sounds about right to me. I didn't think people were still checking for this flop in the pop forum.

Frankly, I don't see this getting to 1.5mil like Alicia's last set did. POP is saying no more and Party looks to be the last urban hit left on 4, and I doubt it will smash like Unthinkable did there. I still think this will tap out around 1 million like I originally predicted. Alicia only got to 1.5 million because she released the album in December and sold 65% of that amount in the first 4 weeks the album was out, otherwise she would have even struggled to hit a million in sales.

No not really Alicia's a bigger album seller between the two for the most part anyway. Her album sold around 1.5 to 1.6 million units. Alicia has a very loyal following.

Following or not, her sales remained low when she had a big hit on the radio, so she got to that total with a well-timed release week. It can't be argued.

Recently added to Tucson's KRQQ-FM and Orlando's WXXL!
It's gaining airplay on Urban radio, too. I think this song still has a chance. I don't care what anyone says. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

Alicia's stiff-azz wining wasn't cutting it.No but really, I was really excited for that video and really pissed we haven't gotten to see it. I imagine it will eventually come out a couple months/years down the line though...ala "Gimme More" alt vers

I love this song and it is my favorite from since Video Phone (w/o Gaga). I actually wasn't checking for Bey or the album until I heard the song. I do feel the album does have something for everybody.

It jumped from #41 to #40 on Urban today as well, so now it's Top 40 on all three formats!
