Akon - "Don't Matter"

[trustypepper]

This early 2007 song from Akon shot to No. 1 on the Hot 100 and saw plenty of succes on CHR, urban, and even HAC. It went on to become the 11th biggest song of 2007 according to the Year-End Hot 100. Rolling Stone also named it No. 31 on their list of the best songs of 2007.


Akon has plenty of great tunes but this has always been my personal favorite!

I remember this one, I haven't heard it in a while!

[Live Your Life]

This was pleasant. Definitely one of my favorites from him.

Did "Hold My Hand" with MJ chart on AT40? I could be wrong

[LBTrocks]

The grammatical incorrectness of "it don't matter no" can get bothersome, but otherwise the song is pretty good. Has a cool vibe to it. Reminds me a bit of "Ignition" by R Kelly.

[Agent Yoncé]

This got annoying really fast. Glad he's no longer a thing now.

[brady47]

It's a nice song, but doesn't have much replay value for me. But when I do listen to it, I realize what a good song it is - nice melody and nice lyrics

[Deleted]

One of my favorite Akon songs. Too bad they never play this on the radio like how they do with Smack That and I Wanna Love You.

[Glove Slap]

Each of the Konvicted singles were all less than the one that came before. I haven't heard this in ages.

[B-Boy]

I liked it when it was out.

[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

Ohh, I remember this song! Nice song.
