I got the CD but this song title is not ringing a bell.....which is not a good thing. What song number is it? I was hoping for Daybreak or Enjoy. Or even Take Good care.

Enjoy will be the fourth US single and the third international single, and has already been promo'd in Japan. With U is track 8.

who gets to pick these singles? are they purposefully fucking this already mediocre record?

obviously urban mainstream and urban contemporary are NOT working. it is so glaringly obvious that what janet needs to do is remind her almost former fans (those who have not bought one of her records for a few years now) why they liked her in the first place. enjoy or daybreak are the only possible shots at saving this record.

i think with u is a good song. i just don't think with u is gonna get any interest from people who haven't already shown interest in the record.

Single choices have been horrid. I think With U is not a terrible choice at this point as ballads tend to do better in the winter months and of the singles so far has the best chance at pop radio, which is where she needs to gain ground. Urban will support her no matter what. I agree they should be releasing it to all formats at once, though. Enjoy, to put it quite simply, is probably too melodic for US radio

maybe the chart boom is due to black friday sales and the ellen performance? was she on the music awards show that just aired (american, i think)?

i really think enjoy would do well. its easily one of the best tracks she's recorded in years and is undeniably infectious (but not like an std or anything ). it would do good on pop and urban stations and let's face it, dupri has succeeded at one thing and that is excluding a wider audience from janet's music.

No. She will be opening the Billboard Awards on December 4th, though.

Yes, black Friday usually leads to a spike in sales but this is what, 300+%? Odd. No one was expecting it.

Y'all should be happy, so many people told me "With U" was their cut, also the choice ballad when I was saying "Take Care" was the cut.

"Daybreak" could do great on pop or urban radio.

By the way...how did the remixes from 20 YO do on the dancefloor charts? Janet is usually very sucessfull there.

Personally I did not like the Junior Vasquez's remixes of So Excited

I think the remixes from the Damita Jo era were better than these recent ones...

Hope "With U" gets better remixes

good choice! I agree that though "enjoy' is a great song, it wouldn't play much on the radio!

OK I have to say, at 5 minutes, "With U" needs a radio edit.

Oh, that will happen I'm sure it will be shortened to about 3:30. They will probably eliminate the bridge, which is my least favorite part of the song.
