It's doing just fine. I honestly don't think this song will make or break her album sales (not trying to shade, but I have a feeling that this album will perform like most r&b albums right now, sadly). So long as she's charting with her singles (which she already has), she's doing just fine


Ftr...I will be copping talk a good game

I think y'all underestimate the power of ICE, Neva End, Representin and Kisses Down Low. For an urban artist she is doing AMAZING. All are hits!

Ice a hit? I wouldn't describe 88 on Billboard and 24(?) on the R&B chart as a hit. I'm hoping Kisses Down Low can achieve 50/60 on Billboard.

actually , ice was an airplay hit! it could reach the top 10 on hip hop/r&b songs (the most important urban chart) but billboard changed the chart's rules (including also sales) in the middle of its run , so it managed to reach just the #24 positions

You better shut up!!! You can only wish that your fave releases a song this era that goes #6 on the urban airplay chart!!!! Sweat, Sorry and Got Me Good did not make it even to the top 15 of the urban airplay chart!

The rules were changed otherwise ICE wouldve been inside of the top 10 or billboard hiphop/r&b chart. ICE did better than Keyshia's Enough Of No Love but since she was lucky that it charted before the change it charted inside of the top 10.

You are a such a hateful creature, u are always hating on Kelly for no damn reason and the funny thing is Kelly is owning urban radio I mean she had two top 10 airplay hits last year (ICE, Neva End) while your fave is doing nothing. Kelly has not even promoted and look what she is doing and Epic is all behind Ciara's ass with promotion and stuff but it doesn't pay off.

ice was an urban HIT but not an urban SMASH. It was a successful single though overall. Urban records simply don't see much chart success (unless you're drake or wayne or a BIG name as the leading act) because they don't have the digital power (urban listeners are not single purchasers).

Ignore her.... She's a little pressed and a little damn jealous that her fave has to sleep with a rapper to remain relevant cause her music is getting certified triple trash bag

Total Audience: 16.69100 (+.390)

RHYTHMIC HAS ME SO HYPED! THIS IS GOING TO SMASH!

As for the next single, it can absolutely NOT be Number One. That's nice, mellow but catchy filler, nothing more.

The next single needs to be like WOW when you hear it. Remember the first time you heard Commander? It needs to have that impact - I'm not saying it should be dance, but it needs to hit you INSTANTLY, not grow on you.

Also, when is the rest of the world going to get a proper release?
Here I Am flopped hard worldwide compared to Simply Deep and Ms. Kelly. Kelly and her team can't forget the bulk of her sales come from outside the US.

Ok Jonathan, Ms. Kelly is the biggest flop era of Kelly, I mean at least Here I Am has a Platinum single in the US, and three Top10 singles in the UK with a "Commander" selling more than 300k, an the album sold more than Ms. Kelly too. Ms. Kelly has sold like 250k WW, is such a mess, HIA at least has sold like 300k between the US and UK.

[Child of Destiny]

Kisses Down Low this week will reach the TOP70 on BB HOT100 I think, between the airplay, the sales and the VEVO views. I'm not sure about the future of KDL without some promo on TV, this song has potential to be a hit on any format, even the video is so POP.

Ummm, you're WAY off there.

Here I Am was more local an era than Ms. Kelly.

Ms. Kelly WW sales are 1,200,000. The US sales are around 270,000.

Like This and Work were BIG successes. Work is one of Kelly's biggest worldwide hits.

Here I Am has barely sold 200,000 in the US. It doesn't hold a PATCH to Ms. Kelly, sales wise.

Down For Whatever was a MODERATE hit in a few EU countries.

The only country Here I Am was top 40 in was US. It was #43 in the UK.


Here I Am (the ALBUM) has sold poorly outside of the US. There was little worldwide push after Commander.

Here I Am was great in the US with the success of Motivation, but that was it. It was her most local era.

The combined WW sales of Ms. Kelly album and the hit singles, Like This, Work and Daylight (was top 20 here), that surpasses the 1,200,000 of Here I am and Motivation sales combined
