I've been meaning to ask, looking at her discography why did she never chart in Canada until 2009? She was huge everywhere except Canada, I mean there must be an explanation behind that
There're many huge songs that never charted in Canada before like We Belong Together for example - eventhough I'm sure they're very popular here too
Our original singles chart was a mess
Quote:
Since the early 1990s, single sales in Canada have decreased dramatically, and most songs were not available as commercial singles. As a result, the chart rarely reflected the listening habits of Canadians. In perhaps the most notorious example, Elton John's charity single "Candle in the Wind '97"/"Something About the Way You Look Tonight" stayed in the top twenty for three years. By 2004, sales in Canada declined even further, because of the growing popularity of digital downloading of music. As a result, Canadian sales are not as substantial as they had been before in the 1990s and early 2000s, and singles remained on the chart for even lengthier periods of time. In 2006, most Canadian number-one singles sold less than 200 copies.

Billboard took over in 2007 and from that on we finally had a more accurate chart
1,2 Steps was Gold in Canada That means it definitely reached top 2 on real sales at least
Goodies the album was platinum in Canada, so I'm sure both Goodies and Oh did well too
even till today, many countries like Norway etc still have a ****ed up singles chart, that's why many songs stayed on iTunes for months, even went 2xPlatinum but never appeared in the official singles chart
Baby you should understand it's either them or me
Cause I'm not gonna be your one and ONLEEE
HEEEE HE HEEEE HEEEE
Just when I'm the ONLYYYY ONE
Aroooooo-ooound
This is her best song of all time. I'm sure of it
The end w/ the instrumental just playing out
the BG vocals...
Give Me Love is not my fav on the album, and I'd rather have other single choices but this sounds like a ****ing WW smash and needs to happen. She needs it.
And One Woman Army is obviously gonna be a single, remember when it was just a deluxe track? Now it's not anymore...
I'm starting to think Jackie may be Ciara's most consistent album to date. Everything was so instant with the songs this era. With every other Ci album, there's always been one or two tracks that just didn't click with me or took a long time to appreciate. I can say I, at least, enjoy everything on the album at this point
Not sure where I'd rank the album yet tho. It's really good, but I'm not sure how it compares to her best works yet

It's the verses that get me
I cried out but you didn't hear me, cried words I didn't know I knew. I lit a light, you still didn't see me. I swore I'd shine my way to you
Why do I, do I still want you, after all of the things you do. I know you won't be committed to me, tell me why I choose to stay, there ain't no one but myself to blame

Yeah I'm REALLY feeling it... on an emotional level Slept with it on repeat last night and it's already Top 15 in my most played songs on iTunes

it's gonna have Body Party's longevity
would be amazing
