Monica may have been cordial with her response to the recently reignited beef between she and ‘Boy Is Mine’ co-star Brandy, but her fans, on the other hand, haven’t exactly been following suit.

Coming as her 29th top 10 single, the tune – with a peak of #7 (to date) – has already entered history books for spending 16 weeks in the top 10 and, as a result, logging the longest run in the Hot 100’s upper dectet by any song that never entered the top 5.
