# This week marks the first time "The Emancipation of Mimi" is at different positions on Billboard's Comprehensive Albums and 200 charts (#48 and #47 respectively). This is due to the exclusive release of SheDaisy's "Fortuneteller's Melody," which debuted at #22.

# "We Belong Together" fell out of the top 50 on the Hot R&B/Hip-hop Singles & Tracks chart after spending 52 weeks in it (exactly one year). It spent 14 weeks atop the chart, tying Deborah Cox's "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" as the chart's longest running #1.

It also spent 14 weeks atop the Hot R&B/Hip-hop Airplay chart, becoming the chart's longest running #1.

# Also, "We Belong Together" has reached a new peak on the AC Recurrent chart.

# This week, "Fly Like a Bird" receives the most airplay adds on Adult R&B radio with 9 new adds. It's also the 2nd greatest gainer on this format.

# "Say Somethin'" shows good early signs this week as it appeared on the Mainstream Top 40 Chart Bound section (155 spins, +150). It had 6 new adds last week including WHTZ (Z100). 27 out of the total 119 mainstream top 40 radios monitored played this song last week.

# The RIAA has finally certified "Shake It Off" as a platinum single (over 200,000 downloads) and "Don't Forget About Us" as a gold single (over 100,000 downloads) although the latter is eligible for a platinum certification (with 271,482 downloads as of last month.)
