The song isn't hers. It's 50 Cent featuring Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys.

They already have a remix of the lead single featuring Nicki Minaj. Guess Alicia really wants those sales...

Discussing that never released "Put It In A Love Song" video with Beyoncé

“Ohhh man! Y’all aren’t going to leave me alone about that! Sometimes with creative things [it] all comes together and it’s (makes perfection kissing noise) and sometimes things almost come together and it’s better to just leave it. So we love that song.

We had a ball shooting the video. It just so happens that the whole thing, for some reason or another, didn’t quite come together so we just decided to leave it. And that’s what happened.”

She needs to take some risks with her music and videos. There is no denying she is a very talented artist but she isn't getting the right songs. Perhaps it is time she stepped back and let other artists write with her or for her. She needs an injection of adrenaline or some sort of reboot.

This sounds similar to "No One". It is the same strategy with every record she puts out - first single is a big ballad and usually the best song on the album and then the rest flies under the radar as they all sound the same. I would find it difficult to name her 2nd, 3rd, 4th singles from any of her albums. The best thing about Put It In A Love Song was that it was different from what she typically done.

I have no doubt this will album will still sell respectably in the US due to her name recognition but it all sounds the same to me.

Wasn't a huge fan of Girl on Fire until recently. I thought it was really repetitive but I find myself singing it now haha.

YOUR TOP 15: Post-Black Friday brings the expected sales drops, only one new release in the Top 15 and several Christmas titles showing seasonal gains. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

* Alicia Keys (RCA) 150-160k
Rod Stewart (Verve) 130-140k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 120-130k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 80-85k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 75-80k

Ouch. Very low for Alicia's standars. Shocked

It's strange because Girl On Fire remix is growing a lot on radio. I remember Doesn't Mean Anything was a flop and she still managed to debut with +300k.
