I can't see this being played on Pop... If pop radio does not play this it would be a sad thing to deny Whitney her comeback...yet they let Cher..Tina Turner....have huge comebacks.....don't be surprised if Million dollar bill takes off Yeah, but Cher and Tina Turner came back with extremely radio-friendly, stellar songs. This just isn't IMO.

your opinion, but this is INSTANT. If pop doesn't give this its due, it is a crime. They almost have to just oput of respect. It's WHITNEY, 12 #1's, 7 straight! 150Million + in sales, 50 Million singles...LEGEND

Why not release this song to radio, like, right now?
And I've never been such a fan of Whitney like I'm right now!

I really like this. I do get a "Just Fine" feeling, but it's nice. Don't know if this is a "smash" though.

I've been a fan of Whitney since the 80s and I'm really looking forward to her new album. I've heard this song only once. I heard it this morning on YouTube. My first impression is that it sounds very dated. I hope things improve for me the second time I listen to it. I don't see pop radio playing this at all. It would be a pleasent surprise if I'm wrong.

Would we rather hear Whitney and Gucci Maine dueting or worse Florida and Bep?

Get it Whitney. Is this still just being released to Pop? I wish they did stick with this as the lead single for all formats

I honestly can't see this being played at pop either, sounds kinda dated to me, but I hope I'm wrong. Whitney deserves the comeback.

This one's a radio friendly Urban smash for sure. Watch Black queens spin this one nonstop at Labor Day bar-b-q's lol. Pop is the big question, though.

I dont know why some are saying they cant see pop playing this. This is something I can hear from pop stations, however, pop stations are so weird that even if a song deserves to be played, they still ignore it

You don't have to go with a rapper for your music to sound more current. Regardless, I prefer Whitney not charting in pop than acting desperate. I'm happy with a great album.

It's WHITNEY, 12 #1's, 7 straight! 150Million + in sales, 50 Million singles...LEGEND Pop Ignored Madonna's "Hung Up"... #1 on Trl till it was retired...... The best selling single of her career without USA Pop support. Don't be dissapointed if this does not pick up ... Chart has already been criminal.

On a side note I turned on tv this morning after a nasty week at work!
Watched Ellen and "How Will I Know" was played and I realised again why I started loving Whitney.... Brilliant song

This just isn't IMO. Tina Turner who is a great!... along side Cher in her own right.......................... Were Never "Whitney"... "Madonna"... or "Mariah" .... so i would never compare

This sounds like a Philly Soul record, you know the First Choice and Carol Williams kinda thing. Incidentally I was just listening to those records a few minutes ago before I decided to check this out. I was listening to Dr. Love by First Choice. This IS HOT!!

Have Expression ever listened to some Alicia Keys record or even Jay-Z's samples. It's suppose to have a retro, 'dated' feel as it samples a '70's record. Her voice sound very good on it and I can hear improvements already.
interesting strategy putting 2 songs on the same formats- not sure what their goals are but we will see.
Have anyone any prediction for first week sales and what total sales amount US and international would be considered a sucess for ILTY album?
I'm thinking 325k first week and if the singles do well and she promotes, at least 1mil us and 2mil worldwide.
I still can't believe that MLIYL album sold over 12mil worldwide and that was on the back of Whitney doing most of the promotion as Arista sucked and barely promoted.
