Only in the US though. Alicia has always been way bigger worldwide. I don't know that I'd agree. I'd give Usher an easy advantage in the UK. Alicia is MASSIVE in Italy (or was in the past at least) but I think it varies significantly from country to country. I think Usher's 2004 is the highest either reached in Europe, but Alicia's bigger hits land over a longer stretch. And also regardless of what the charts say, she felt big there during the DOAK period and IIAGY is as much a classic there as it is stateside. That and No One and Fallin' were bigger than any Usher song outside of Yeah! This decade, I think his biggest hit is probably DJ Got Us..., and hers is GOF, which again lands later.

I wonder why there wasn't a radio deal on the day of the release though.

I'm feeling her SNL look in those promos. Hope she sticks with that.
This song is so so good. I'm shocked she made something so fresh that doesn't sound dated at all. I really hope radio sends this to #1.

I think this SNL performance may have been even better than the record? Never would've I expected an Alicia Keys single in 2016 to be this fresh and enjoyable. Hooray!

That was a powerful performance. She looked possessed, matching the line "if you could love somebody like me, you must be messed up too." Never thought I would see this emotional Alicia after a string of inspirational singles.

This is very Drakeesque and new age rnb without being ratchet and hella annoying. It took a few listens but I like this. I still wanted old school Alicia with a modern twist but I can live with a 2016 take on rnb. Better than the last few projects .
Even though personally I was hoping for a more soulful throwback for her. I think this song is perfect for her vocals of today .

Her SNL performance was excellent. I was so glad she got up from behind that piano.

Yes, great performance. The ad-libs at the end reminded me of the As I Am Alicia I once knew and loved. Yes!

I can't say how she's perceived right now, but she was genuinely massive in France too.

Great performance.
