The singles were "Just Fine," "Work That," and "Stay Down". They shot a video for "Work That," but Mary hated it and stopped its release.

How can Mary hate videos that she makes? That happened with "Ooh!" too, although I thought that video was great.

I remember it taking off. I dont understand how Mary keeps making videos she doesnt like. Somewhere in the filming doesn't she stop and think "hey this doesn't look right" LOL

I thought Work That was canceled because of the lawsuit.

I remember it taking off. They were planning on releasing it, so Urban AC picked it up, but they changed it in favor of "Work That".

Come To Me (Peace) is so beautiful. I forgot how much I loved this song. I love when Mary makes universal songs like this but I love how easily she can go to her R&B/Soul roots. Has she had worldwide success? I really don't know anyone who doesn't LOVE at least one song of hers.

Like most R&B artists, Mary has her greatest success in the US by far. Here's a list of her Top 10 hits in the UK:
#06 Everything #08 Family Affair #09 No More Drama #02 One

I hope she has a record in the same vein on the new album.

Yea that was an awesome song. Too bad people are too 1 dimensional to let something like that go to radio.

How has "The One" and "Stronger" been doing?
And is the latter officially counting as her second single, or only as a sdtk release?

"Stronger" is amazing. My friend and I love it so much. I hope that Mary will do much better with this album. The singles released so far sound very promising.

It's been pushed back. Sometime early 2010, around March more than likely.

That's not good because both #1 and stronger has been off Itunes for weeks- the video didn'treally do anything and VH1 just took it of their countdown. I dont see how a re-push of a song that didn't take off is going to do much- perhaps some performances maybe but I don't know- I don't like push backs.

It's a shame The One and Stronger didn't perform better as they are both quality tracks. At the very least Mary always delivers one kick-ass ballad and this time around was no exception.

xemvanadams.amplified-pixels.org/?p=4134&cpage=1#comment-1735Music News: Both Alicia Keys & Mary J. Blige Xperience Album Push-Backs This post was written by XemVanAdams on October 24, 2009 Posted Under: Album Release, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, New Music Announcements As photographed and previously posted on the Red Carpet of GUCCI’s most recent fundraiser event, R&B Legends, MARY J. BLIGE & ALICIA KEYS are also suffering at the hands of the fledgling Music Industry. It has been announced by both camps that Mary J. Blige’s 9th studio LP, STRONGER as well as Alicia Keys’ 4th studio LP, THE ELEMENTS OF FREEDOM will be released simultaneously on DECEMBER 15th. Mary’s album, originally set to hit stores on November 24th has failed to produce a Chart Topping Single within the past few months. Her lead single, THE ONE, featuring none other than Drake, has only managed to reach the #63 position on Billboard’s HOT 100, as STRONGER hasnt even tipped beyond the #84 position on the R&B/HIP-HOP charts. To combat the issue and garner public attention, Mary will now be releasing a third album single, SAID & DONE. The track is written and produced by Ryan Leslie. Meanwhile, as the public continues to scrutinize Alicia Keys for the Scandal surrounding her relationship with record producer, Swizz Beatz, her music is beginning to suffer as far as being recognized commercially. Alicia recently released the lead track, DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING. The single is very radio friendly and artistically infectious. However, within the past few weeks, the song hasnt been able to peak beyond the #61 spot on the Hot 100. As a result, Alicia is being forced to hurry the release of her 2nd album single, TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART. I recently posted a Low Quality LIVE version of Alicia performing the song during her BLACK BALL gala in New York City. I personally feel that both Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys are simply suffering from an industry overload. There are so MANY albums and singles being released in this fourth quarter and everyone is saturating radio with New Music. In Mary’s case, however, it simply isnt time for her to release a new project. She has been releasing a new project every two years as of lately, which in essence isnt unusual for her. HOWEVER, Mary could benefit from taking a little time to sit back and create another signature, BreakThrough album; much like she did in late 2005. Alicia Keys, unfortunately, is experiencing the grunt of unhappy women who are using her scandalous relationship with Swizz Beatz as the catalyst to dislike her. I knew, however, that DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING wouldnt have the same critical and commercial appeal as Alicia’s Lead Singles from her past three, Full-Fledged, Studio Albums. While I Enjoy the track, it doesnt posess the same levels of soul and raw authenticity as songs like FALLIN, YOU DONT KNOW MY NAME & NO ONE. I wont be purchasing BOTH Albums on December 15th. At Best, I’ll purchase Alicia’s ELEMENTS OF FREEDOM & burn Mary’s STRONGER. I purchased Mary’s GROWING PAINS in December 2007, and havent listened to it since. I was highly dissappointed, and I LOVE Mary, down.

Why is the media turning the push backs into scandals? Albums get pushed back ALL the time and especially in this case as both of their lead singles suck ass anyway. Hopefully they're able to produce high quality second/third singles!

I think Alicia's 2nd single will be amazing and even if it hasn't been massive, DMA has peaked at #15 on R&B so far. Mary's the one that needs to get out on solid ground; The One stalled at #32.
