WE NOW RETURN 'CONTROL' TO YOU: "Control Myself" (Def Jam) by LL Cool J featuring Jennifer Lopez sets the record for the highest new re-entry in the 48-year history of the Billboard Hot 100. By returning to the chart at No. 4, "Control Myself" beats the previous record, set by Jay-Z when his Broadway/rap merger of the "Annie" tune "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" re-entered at No. 20 the week of March 20, 1999.

"Control Myself" had a previous three-week run on the Hot 100, debuting at No. 93 the week of March 11, peaking at No. 89 the following week and making what could have been a last stand at No. 95 one week after that. The song never garnered enough airplay to move any higher, but paid digital downloads kicked in this week and kicked the song back to No. 4.

"Control Myself" is LL Cool J's biggest hit since the last time he teamed up with Jennifer Lopez. "All I Have," credited to Jennifer Lopez featuring LL Cool J, began a four-week reign the week of Feb. 8, 2003. "Control Myself" is also the biggest hit for Lopez since "All I Have."

"Control Myself" is the eighth top 10 hit for LL Cool J. "All I Have" remains his biggest hit, followed by "Hey Lover" in 1995 and "Loungin" in 1996. Both peaked at No. 3. "Luv U Better" also went to No. 4, in November 2002.

"Control Myself" is the ninth top 10 hit for Lopez. She's had four No. 1 songs; in addition to "All I Have," she topped the Hot 100 with "If You Had My Love," "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny." Like LL Cool J, she's had two singles peak at No. 3: "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and "Jenny From the Block."


LOL @ haters that believed Jen's music career was over.

Jay-Z >>>>>>> LL Cool J

Her career is over....LOL especially if she don't go back to da old J.Lo who danced her ass off and had Urban Pop hits.

I am glad that downloads count now but methinks they are factored to heavily.

Even if he would of did the song with Amerie or another female vocalist, it would of been a hit because its one of the songs that get stuck in your head and has a hypnotic beat to it.

not true... headsprung did pretty good. and i believe it is doing so much better than his new song with jlo. i dont hear the song much on radio.....but i remember headsprung was almost overplayed. the only reason its peaking high is cause of download. itunes has never been bigger so 2 years ago if headpsrung had downloads it wouldve peaked even higher

LL Cool J's latest alblum isn't that great... I feel kind of dissapointed with it... then again, I've only listened to it only once.
