Not you too! Or were you throwing shade? I blame the devil called auto correct. But...good bro...Discipline is a real word.

This kind of song is exactly what I needed in my life right now. Such an uplifting, feel-good anthem. THAT chorus is bliss!

This sounds like another Urban AC #1 to me except from what I can see, it's a format that holds on first singles forever at the expense of followups. I remember how Toni Braxton & Babyface's "Rollercoaster" was largely slept on despite sounding like another #1. I don't follow the chart closely though. Do core artists score multiple #1's from an era frequently?

Regardless, it's still an example of Urban AC ignoring a perfect single from a core act in favor of recurrent play.

I don't know, there might be some truth to that but if "Rollercoaster" were the second sing it'd have fared better.

This is a great song! I hope UAC doesn't do anything crazy and ignore this. It would be great if this could start impacting now to build momentum leading to the album release. But I'm guessing they will ride out No Sleep on UAC which will probably be top 5 for 6-8 more weeks.

I like her latest single though I prefer No Sleeep but quite a bit. I'm hungry for a Janet uptempo since those are the songs by her that I tend to love.

It's specifically for the tracks you get when pre-ordering albums from iTunes. Unless, "Unbreakable" can also be purchased individually, in that case it will count as a single purchase and SoundScan will tally it.

I just bought the track for $1.29 like any other song. That's why I was confused as to why they're saying it's disqualified.

That throat is nice and relaxed! We know this, based on all of Miss Jackson's sex jams.

When I first heard this I was like "oh this is cool" but now I'm listening to this on spotify and all I have to say is miss Jackson if ya nasty has done it again. This is so smooth.

I don't know, there might be some truth to that but if "Rollercoaster" were the second sing it'd have fared better. Still annoys me to think about this! There were at least 4 UAC smashes on that album, and went so wrong releasing Where Did We Go Wrong. Really like the Janet song!

Next #1 Urban AC? I can see this getting more play from Urban than NS and also doing something on HAC and AC.

I actually think this has less Urban appeal than "No Sleeep" in 2015. This could have probably been a moderate Urban hit about ten years ago (performing a little better there than "No Sleeep" has).

I LOVE this one. I was greatly disappointed by the snippet of "The Great Forever" but this one is really good. That intro tho' sounds exactly like "Anything" and Mimi's "Yours". fff sort of a signature Jimmy Jam & Terry thing.

I prefer this to "No Sleep". However it seems like it ends to fast.

I have to agree, this has less Urban appeal than NO SLEEEP. But I will be very surprised if it doesn't do big at Urban AC.

Is this like a legit single? Because it sounds like exactly what it is...an album opener that has the most single-worthy song on the album immediately following.
