Timbaland/Keri Hilson: "The Way I Are" tops 3 million mark
Quote:
"The Way I Are," the 2007 smash by Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson, tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. It's Timbaland's second biggest digital hit, following "Apologize"(featuring OneRepublic), which has sold 5,331,000 copies. Hilson's subsequent solo hit, "Knock You Down" (featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo) has sold 2,243,000 copies.
'Promiscuous' was an urban song without any dance-pop/electro-pop influences whatsoever.
Eh I wouldn't be too quick to label "Promiscuous" as a fully urban song tho it's clearly not fully electro-pop but it had those early (really early!) dance-pop influences Timbaland aimed with Justin & Nelly.

Shock Value such a great album.
It’s an urban song with pop appeal, much like the rest of the album. The closest thing to a dance single from ‘Loose’ was ‘Do It’ and we know how that went.
It was pretty good. ‘Shock Value II’ had some jams as well though. Carry Out, Lose Control, Morning After Dark >>>>>>

Um, the chorus? It really helped pave the way for dance-pop music to come back, although Maneater was the more dance/electro song.
The Way I Are is a classic though. That song was so massive, and really so original. Listening to it now shows how electropop music has declined so much in quality since 2007.
and it was sooo overplayed, first traces of dance/electro-pop following SexyBack and Promiscuous?
