...and "Diary" makes it's way into the Top 10. barely, it may fall back some for the next few days as spins fluctuate a little, but basically it's there. won't be on billboard yet tho.

ALICIA KEYS FEATURING TONY! TONI! TONÉ! Diary Producer(s): Alicia Keys Writer(s): A. Keys, K. Brothers Jr. Publisher(s): Lellow Productions, EMI-April Music/Book of Daniel Music, EMI-April Music (ASCAP) Label/Catalog Number: J 82876-62690 (CD promo) Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: July 03, 2004 Like Usher, Alicia Keys is spinning off a third single from a top-selling album. Also like Usher, the singer/ songwriter will find herself claiming top 10 status on the Billboard R&B and pop singles charts. That's because Keys does not tamper with her winning, less-is-more musical philosophy. She has crafted another deceptively simple love song, this time about undying loyalty. The tune's melodic flow is rooted in R&B but punctuated with a subtle contemporary edge. Adding spice to the understated production is a spirited call-and-response with Tony! Toni! Toné! Fans may feel guilty for eavesdropping on the couple's intimate whisperings while pining for such a fervent relationship themselves. When Keys sings, "I feel such a connection," it's as if she's crooning directly to listeners.—GM

Poor Alicia. From the moment on she releases her new single "Diary" "IIAGY" starts to become a hit and "Diary" fails to do big things. I'm still hoping for at least Top 20.
Her record company won't push "Diary" any more and release "Karma" later on to the other formats.

Well, "Karma" will be released September 13th in the UK and it seems like her record company won't let Alicia shoot a video for "Diary", but for "Karma".

Yeah, this album has been promoted perfectly, and all of a sudden the record label seems to be lost again. They're very half-heartedly promoting "Diary," although it already is an Urban hit. But a video would give it that extra boost. USA better get "Karma," but I have a feeling we will since it'd make a great Pop single and Pop could use a follow-up now that "IIAGY" is a hit there.

I didn't know that IIAGY was doing well at pop. Do you think that Karma would be a good follow-up? I preferred Karma at first but now I like Diary. Maybe they can do both.

Glad to hear there's a video considering we thought otherwise. Even so, the video sounds very low-budget with just a bunch of footage thrown together.

I think she just doesn't have any time to record a video. She's been touring Europe since the start of June and even came back to the USA a few times while on the road in Europe. Must be pretty exhausting. Her last European show is on Saturday but it seems that after that she'll do shows in Asia, Australia and back in the USA. + she said that maybe we (Europeans here) aren't gonna see the Diary video cause of record company stuff. So prolly Karma will be released here in September together with the new edition of TDOAK. I guess she's gonna shoot that video one of the upcoming weeks b4 goin' to Asia.

Yeah, I know Alicia has been sooo busy in Europe lately. I'm soooo bummed out because she recently performed at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy, where I lived the first 5 months of this year. She was performing like a 5 minute walk from where my apartment was :o WHY couldn't that have happened when I was still there! :)
Anyway, I'm looking really forward to the "Karma" video in the Fall. I think "Karma" should do well for her on both sides of the Atlantic. I just hope "My Boo" doesn't interfere with it in the States. I want "My Boo" to be a big hit too, and I'd love for both songs to dominate the charts, but if I had to chose one or the other I'd endorse "Karma."

That's cool you lived in Perugia...my family is from L'Aquila, not too far from there.
I totally forgot about "My Boo", that seems to have totally lost its hype...
Is that still going to be Usher's next single? I forgot all about it...

The street I lived on was Via dell'Aquila though lol. So you've been to Perugia? Yeah, I thought it would've made some splashes at radio by now. Maybe Usher's label put a stop to it and will then give it an official push once Confessions" dies down?

Possibly, although I'd think Confessions Pt II is pretty much dead by now anyway. Maybe they just dont want to rush out the new single because Usher's been EVERYWHERE non-stop since January, and just give people a little bit of a breather. No, I've actually never been to Italy. My grandparents are from Abruzzi and more specifically a town in L'Aquila but I've never been.

why are you all talking about this song as though it's not doing well? it's still going strong and is already top 10 R&B and nearing top 10 Hot 100. it'll do at least as well as "a woman's worth"

It's barely climbing on CHR/Rhythmic (it's stuck in the 40s), CHR/Pop won't play it, so I doubt it'll do as well as "A Woman's Worth" overall.

"Diary" is not finished yet it's +307 now at "Urban" and only 451 spins away from #1 - while a lot of other songs above are losing spins.

Wow, Alicia is back for Top 20 on Billboard. She's up on Urban (#5), Urban AC (#6) and even Rhythmic (#45) with strong bullets.
