It appears there are upsides to being in the ‘Thick Of It’ for Mary J. Blige.
The crumbling of the R&B royal’s marriage to Kendu Issacs has been a fixture in the media – specifically their bitter divorce.
With MJB maintaining a dignified silence of sorts, she’s left her feelings on wax and it’s making waves at radio. Literally.
Full story below…
As at writing, ‘Thick’ has climbed to #1 on Urban Adult Contemporary radio in the US.
Since its release early this month, the track has amassed an audience of 13.638 million audience from 1896 spins at the format as of October 30th.
Its out of the gate success comes as quite the coup for the campaign for Blige’s new album ‘Strength Of A Woman’ (due in December). Especially as there’s still its video to come.
We’re loving the track and glad to see it’s winning at this stage.
Glancing at Mary’s tour schedule, it’ll be interesting to see what the plan is promo wise. She’s touring arenas, with next to no breaks, right up until mid-December. A move that’ll no doubt prove lucrative, but one that does leave questions about available platforms to plug the LP so close to Christmas.
In the here and now, though, go Mary!

Love love love this track! Jazmjne Sullivan penned a banger. Can’t lie I would love Tamar on this.
It would’ve been epic if it was a duet with Jazmine
@ [purple heart] have you heard ‘we gonna make it?’–Jazmine and Mary sound good together.
Jazmine should have just kept it for herself. knowing what her voice would have done on this makes me feel underwhelmed when I listen to Mary j.–But she still sounds good though.
AGREE!!! Tamar Braxton would have murked this track… Keyshia Cole would’ve gave life to this like Trust and Believe.
Go Queen!
I like the song too. I hope this era will give me 411 Mary I need that. Hope this is just a buzz single
By the powers invested in me, Mary J. Blige will have a top 40 hit this era.
The song is fiyah this is the type of music we want from Mjb!!
she is so deserving! first lead single from Mary in a long time that mirrors her classic, raw and gut-wrenching sound.
Mary J. Blige SLAYS period!!!!!!
“Ifs been a helluva year”
Can we just give Mary another Grammy
Push through, This woman amazes me each time a new album comes out.
Tbh in recent times I’ve not cared to much about mjb and what she releases but this song right here now it is IT!! I cannot skip the track i play it like 6 times a day since i heard it ..theres just a rawness and realness and coolness and what rnb with a bit of grit should sound like…i like this mary
Mary J Blige is my Queen!!
Amazing song
