Chart Commentary...
Oops, he did it again!... Usher's latest, "U Got It Bad", bumps "I'm A Slave 4 U" back to #2 and thus becomes his second chart-topper this year ("U Remind Me" spent a sole week on top earlier in August on both the top 40 and R&B charts). Over on the R&B chart though, "U Got It Bad" isn't able to maintain the top spot, as Janet Jackson's "Son Of A Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You) (Remix)" featuring Missy Elliot, P. Diddy & Carly Simon ends Usher's three week reign.
Still on time... This week's greatest gainer is Ja Rule's "Always On Time" featuring Ashanti. The second single from "Pain Is Love" bullets up to #25 in its second week on the chart.
Triple action... As "Always On Time" continues to rise and "I'm Real" holds for another week in the top 40, Ja Rule debuts at #34 with "Livin' It Up" featuring Case. This is the first single from his most recent album and is only charting now due to the success of "Always On Time". The latter track convinced me to buy his album and thus, my interest on "Livin' It Up" finally built up.
