Everyone on the Ashanti forum loves this. I'm the only person who doesn't. So why isn't it a hit? :(

Toni makes me want to strangle her; she needs to get out and do some promotion. Well I wouldn't just blame the label; Toni seems to be taking a lazy route in this too. Someone with her clout could easily make an unscheduled appearance on 106 or something of that nature. DUH!! Toni's promoting at fairs across the u.s.! That'll ensure a 20,000K smash!! Sell them b*tches like Prince!

Its really gaining slowly, why doesnt she do some tv promo to help downloads or something.Maybe this wont be the first song to launch the album, who knows that she may have another single out before the album releases.

This is the first official single. But she's supposed to release a second single before the album release.

Well lets hope it isnt 'i like it like that', cuz noone will understand what she is saying, however 'sposed to be' is a hot slow jam.I actually wouldnt mind a brand new single as second single and i would love for it to be a 'we belong together' for toni.

Power 105.1 has really just got behind this...so i expect hot 97 to jump on board next since usually one station follows the other typically.

I remember that the video for "Hit The Freeway" didn't get massive play until late Sept/early Oct and MTAW came out in Nov.

This is gonna at least be a minor hit. She'll have all of the label behind her. Plus even my mnom loves this jam!!!

"Please" will end up being a minor hit on Urban. But I don't see her making any more noise on any other format. I am really surprised to see it in the top 20 of Urban Ac. I wouldn't consider this an AC type of song

I wouldn't consider this an AC type of song This is because she, Toni, is an UAC artist..but that is going against her cause this is having a hard time catching in the Rhythmic and Urban categories

Urban is starting to catch on but Rhythmic will take some work and so will Pop

Atleast it would have really caught on somewhere and then the other formats could respond.

It's #12 today at Urban AC and #38 Urban, but it's slowly falling in spins & impressions at Rhythmic. I hope Pop picks up on it.

I really liked 'hit the freeway', i didnt kno it was a flop!

Post by brutallyhonest on Jul 21, 2005 17:25:16 GMT -5
yea hit the freeway peaked at 90 something i believe, not too sure, but i was actually expecting her album to outsell Mariah's Charmbracelet and Whitney's Just Whitney album because i thought it was a better effort from Toni but i actually sympathise with her she had no promotion which was ashame and Loon as the featured artist didn't help her any either.
