This is most added at Urban AC this week with 20 adds. Honestly, it would have been one of my last choices for the third single. It's still a nice song though.

YES ! YES ! YES !.....I love it !!!!! Although, I think "In My Heart" would have been a better choice. Now, let's hope for a decent video.

I think "In My Heart" would have been a better choice. Me too. I'm just happy she has a third single, and all of the songs on her album are great anyway.

...weird choice, but at least it sounds different than the others, and above all a 3rd single... i dont know what label would let and artist have 2 UAC #1s and not try to follow it up again

Your right, Bob....the funny thing I found out about "Serious" is that when I was playing the CD at work when "Serious" came on people would always ask ...."Who is that"...and say..."I like it" so maybe it could be Anita's third #1 at Urban adult...My fingers are crossed !!

They should have released her best singles. Anita Baker hardly gets any airplay. My parents dont even know she has an album out, and they are fans.

I think that the fact that Anita can not get the airplay she deserves speaks volumes about the music industry as a whole....and buy your parents the CD ...they'll love it !!! :)

This was my first favorite in addition to "You're My Everything"! I think it's really catchy.

The numbers are from Mediabase.
She's now #1 Greatest Gainer and #1 Taking Off. It looks like Anita has a third hit.

Great choice for a third single. The people at Blue Note (not to be confused with our own) knows how to pick a winner. To tell you the truth, all of Anita's songs are fantastic. Keep it up, girl! Keep it up!

LOL The radio edit and instrumental are now on iTunes, but they're labeled as "Like You Used To Do".

This song is incorrectly listed as "Like You Used To Do" on every digital download provider. The label must have changed the single last minute.

It looks like "Serious" might have to settle for a #16 Urban AC peak with "Serious". That's really disappointing, especially after two #1's, but it's the label's fault for waiting so long. Here's a link to the song if anyone hasn't heard it and is interested. spotlight-on-rnb.warp-int.com/AnitaBaker04/AnitaBaker4.ram
