They should just release the Freemasons mix to radio... it would probably perform better I totally agree, that is the mix I play the most. It would be GREAT on Pop radio. Million Dollar Bill video is good too! :) Can anyone add the Freemason's Radio Mix to the video to hear what that would be like?

MJB knock off...you relaize that MJB is MJB because of of Whitney?? No disrespect to MJB, but come one ???No disrespect to you but Mary J. Blige is a completely different artist. MJB started out raw, real emotion and with a street edge that Whitney has never had. Whitney was the american pop princess with the perfect image, voice, and look. MJB is so different from her. You could mention Christina or Leona Lewis and it would be a better comparison.

"I Look To You" has reached a peak of #3 on Urban AC and went to around #34 on Urban. It is currently at #20 on AC.
"Million Dollar Bill" is currently taking off on Urban AC and just entered the Top 30.

Lovin' this. Such a feel good song. This is a great song...what is wrong with pop radio....??? I guess they should have tagged Alicia's name on this or Jay Z or Drake to get it played in mass on the radio......Clive does not understand to get played on pop if you are a senior you must have a youngie hottie on board with you!

^All they had to do was have Alicia sing along to the chorus and stamp her name as a feature and this would have taken off long ago.

^I was seriously contemplating emailing Arista and strongly suggesting reissuing this as a remixed duet with Alicia.

I hate to admit, but yeah, Alicia could really do wonders for this.
I know its just one example, but a 20yo friend of mine loves this track and he had it playing with some of his other 20-something friends and they were giving him grief that it sounded too old.

The problem with this is radio programmers who think Whitney is not 'in' for their playlists
BUT people are listening to this. The record is sold and people have been tweeting this up and down about how awesome it is.

I think this song sounds like a hit. It's too bad Arista didn't send it for adds again right after the Oprah appearance.

I don't think her label is shooting for this to be a huge single. They're wanting to make sure the album is big though.
I think they may try to release something like FTL, or something later in order to give her a hit single, after the album has sold more.

If this doesn't end up doing decent, nothing will, imo. There are other good songs on the album, but this is hands down the most radio friendly.

It's a great song, alright. No, W doesn't need Alicia push the song, PLEASE. W is a legend. Period! I'm just happy to hear W is singing again.

I guess the "f" word is appropriate for this song.

Didn't even reached top 50 on Pop. #100 on the Hot 100.
Shame this flopped, it was great. It's the only song I like from the album.

On the bright side it went top 5 on the UK, and the album did well, so I think that if we look at the bigger picture, the whole era is a success.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they are concerned with getting any big hits out of this era (Well, at least on this format). The singles have done enough to keep her album afloat. This era is definitely a success.

A bit off topic, but are they giving "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" an adds date and all that stuff? I don't think that one is suited for pop at all.

She had some great promo this time around. Several tv shows and performances. Didn't help the singles at all.
This is #282 on iTunes.

This had a pop adds date on FMQB but never on AllAccess which was interesting.
