"Diamonds" has lost it's Rhythmic bullet before it even made the Top 20 and it's about to lose it's Urban bullet at #27. WHAT THE HELL?

It is the second single which means a lot if not the most although I think this song is good.

^^ I think what Dee means is that his second single is more important, The way "All Falls Down" was.

I don't see why people love this so much. At best, it is a good album track that never should have been released as the first single. Glad to see it tanking, maybe he can show us he's got some more quality hits on this album.

People love this song so much because he's different from the other Hip/hop artists who rap about taking people to candy shops and licking their lollipops. This song is infectious and the lyrics are really good.

I don't know guys. I found it hard to like, and I think that's how many regular listeners found the song too. Its one of those songs you really gotta push yourself to like because of the strong sample and its difficult-to-understand msg. If they play it in a club, its almost impossible to groove to. It was either a hit or miss with this track. Looks like it went the sad way. Some how I see this doing better on Alternative than on Urban or Rhythmic. It just seems that way.

this song is fire. he got a little to involved with layering the beats, but this is great rap. inventive, humorous, he even pokes fun at himself. the dre references, the bulimic/anemic lines - it's great.

It has a bullet at Urban again and is only -16 at Rhythmic (I think the trend was worse a few days ago).
