Karma will be the next single in the US and in Europe. Alicia will be shooting the video for Karma in about 2 weeks.

Same here. Alicia gets the honors of "Diary," being my favorite Urban/R&B song out right now.

YEAH! Alicia is finally #20 (up from #25). Maybe with a little luck she can even score another Top 10 hit...
By the way, "If I Ain't Got You" is still at #5 on Billboard and spends its 16th week into the Top 10 this week.

This has quickly become my favorite single from the album. I hope it at least goes top 15. I'm surprised it's had as much success as it's had already, especially with "If I Ain't Got You" rebounding like it did. Not to mention it really doesn't jive with what radio is currently playing, although none of her recent singles have. Just goes to show that sometimes quality material can get you quality results.

And blech at "Karma" being the fourth single choice. I still think she should have went with "So Simple."

The only problem I have with "So Simple" is the fact that the chipmunk vocals are pretty annoying. It just ruins the song for me. I think "Karma" is a great choice. Otherwise, they should've gone with "Heartburn" or "Wake Up".

I love "Karma". Not as much as the other three singles, but this or "Heartburn" would have been fine with me. J Records' knack for picking the singles for this project continues.

"Karma" is a very good choice in my opinion. The song will be another hit for Alicia and help her album sales which will be hopefully at 4 million then. After that Alicia should take a break and leave the album as it is - there is no 5th single left in it.

What "Karma" has going for itself is the fact that it has a more European-taste-friendly vibe to it. That's why it's definitely going to be the biggest hit off of the "Diary" album.

"Karma" may be her biggest UK hit but there's no way it will be her biggest in the US.

I was hoping the album would sell more, Esp when she was doing alot of promotion with Pepsi smash, late night talk shows etc.....But she barely went up in sales >:(.......I really like "Diary".........and can't wait for "Karma" to come out hopefully it can push the album to 4X platinum

Isn't Alicia even selling better than Beyoncé? I mean Alicia should be at 3,1-3,2 million after 3 singles while Beyoncé is at 3,5 million after 4 singles...
"Karma" should be Top 10, it's going to be a hit on Urban and Rhythmic, but I doubt that Pop radio will play it a lot.

BTW, "Diary" slowed down a bit on "Urban" (+166) but is #4 today and should be #3 tomorrow and #2 very soon. "Diary" also is at #4 on "Urban AC" today with a very big bullet (+149) and could go as far as #2 (but this will take a big longer) And finally, "Diary" is up to #44 on "Rhythmic" (+76) and should be Top 40 next week.

Beyonce's album sales are always played up, even though they really aren't anything spectacular at all. I mean, even Ashanti sold the same in 2002, in a slower year for album sales, and she didn't even have 4 Top 5 smashes (only 1 Top 5, 3 singles total). And she definitely didn't have 5 Grammy wins in a night. Oh, and her face wasn't all over TV in commercials, and she wasn't in any blockbuster hits. Yep. She wasn't in any super-platinum girl group before releasing her album either. Beyonce is "so 2003."

Beyoncé sold 3,5 million copies in the US, 7 million records worldwide, won a lot of awards (Grammys, VMAs, EMAs etc.), had 2 #1 hits, a #3 and a #4 hit single, a big US and UK tour, a lot of TV appearances --> so we can say that 2003 really was Beyoncé's year.
I admit that 3,5 million aren't that many cds, but she/her record company also gets a lot of money from radio airplay and tour grosses, it's not all about album sales...

I saw the video as the New Joint on 106 but I had it on mute cuz I was listening to something else...lol it was just live footage from one of her concerts Not just from a concert, but various appearances. It was probably good you had the video on mute. That last note is so off key, it's not even funny.

Welcome to the boards. :) No, your English is fine. But I noticed that you used commas instead of periods for the numbers. I used to have a German girlfriend online. Her e-mail was HotBecci! I miss her. :'(

I miss her. :'( Oh, sometimes these little things mean so much But anyways, it's cool to have the opportunity to go to boards from other countries online. One little question: Are you really the owner of Ashanti Daily? I'm not a big Ashanti fan at all but the site itself is cool...

The video is really good, it's a shame that it won't come out here in Europe.
"Diary" is at #2 on Urban now following the #1 hits "YDKMN" and "IIAGY".
"Diary" also moves up to #4 on Urban AC and has a good shot at #1.

I seen the video yesterday on Launch, and i thought she did a good job, im not a fan of Concert type videos but she made it work with the whole book thing, and i really liked some parts of the video esp the part where she was in water and the sunset was in the background, that was beautiful
