Mary J. Blige has been getting nothing but love for her Vado-assisted latest single, ‘Still Believe In Love.’
Boasting a prominent sample of Mtume‘s 1984 classic ‘C.O.D. (I’ll Deliver),’ the October 27-released track has delivered some impressive stats since arriving onto the Billboard charts as that week’s top-selling new R&B song.
And while the tune enjoyed quite a warm welcome on sales tallies, it’s really getting its flowers at radio.
Details inside.
Peruse of the updated Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart shows the GRAMMY winner’s latest cut lifted to the #9 spot – cracking the top 10 for the first time since premiering on it four weeks ago.
The 26th time of her 30-year career visiting this radio chart’s top 10, the arrival extends the Hip Hop Soul Queen’s record as the hitlist’s ruler.
A ranking of the airplay of songs played on urban adult contemporary radio stations, the Adult R&B Airplay list has not seen any other artist land more top 10 hits than Blige since Billboard started publishing it in 1993. She snatched the record from Gerald Levert in 2018.
At writing, Mary has not revealed what larger body of work ‘Still’ is attached to. The highly anticipated effort would mark her first opus to greet fans since she topped charts with 2022’s GRAMMY-nominated ‘Good Morning Gorgeous.’
