In reply to Thando.

I don’t think it’s fair to use the word “failed”. Artists don’t necessarily set out with the intention of making a particular single #1 single on the hot 100. It just kind of happens. Many many artists never have a hot 100 #1 and sell millions of albums and have successful tours. People act like the hot 100 is the only chart that matters but the hip-hop/r&b chart is important too. And as for Lauryn Hill it’s hard to argue that she “tried” to get a second #1 single as she never released an album again after her first one was such a MASSIVE seller that has sold more than most rappers entire discographies.
