After 18 weeks on the charts, Until Its Gone is still holding tight. This week it sits at #27 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Charts.

Are we rebounding? Can we actually hit the Top 20? ‘Until It’s Gone’ jumps 7 spots this week to return to #25 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts after 17 weeks. It currently peaked at #22, so it would be cool to at least just beat that by next week. ‘Until It’s Gone’ is currently #18 on Urban Radio (up 124 spins) and #13 on Urban AC (down 37 spins)!

Let’s continue to request UIG in addition to ‘It All Belongs To Me’ and help Monica with two singles on the charts at one time to show it can be done!

Mariah Carey holds the mark for career-opening most top 10 singles, although only among brand new artists. Counting acts that went solo after being in groups, as well, here’s how the record book stacks up (holiday songs, charted album cuts not promoted to radio and featured turns excluded, unless they add to the streak):

Career-Opening Top 10s, Artist, Span

13, Lionel Richie (post-Commodores; 1981-87)
12, George Michael (during/post-Wham!; 1985-90)
11, Mariah Carey (1990-94)
11, Lady Gaga (2008-11)
9, New Kids on the Block (1988-90)
8, Bruno Mars (2010-12; still-active streak)
7, Air Supply (1980-82)
7, Taylor Dayne (1988-90)
7, Expose (1987-90)
7, Gary Lewis and the Playboys (1965-66)
7, Ke$ha (2009-11)
7, the Lovin’ Spoonful (1965-67)
7, Richard Marx (1987-89)
7, Monica (1995-99)
7, Ricky Nelson (1958-59)

After a slight drop on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Charts last week, Monica rebounds in it’s 16th week with ‘Until It’s Gone’ and jumps four spots to land at #32 this week. It’s nice to not see another huge drop before the new single ‘It All Belongs To Me’ with Brandy comes our way!

Fifteen weeks on the charts, ‘Until It’s Gone’ drops one spot to #36 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts. Keep requesting and you should be hearing the new single SOON! Let’s keep the momentum going, Monica has some good things in store for the fans!

In it’s 14th week on the charts, ‘Until It’s Gone’ falls to #35 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts.

We were hoping to crack the top 20 and continue to rise, but Monica’s ‘Until It’s Gone’ took a dip in spins at radio and falls to #29 this week on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts in it’s 13th week. As you study the charts you will see that Drake, Beyonce, The Throne, Wale and Jeezy have all played a part in knocking Monica down some spots. More new entries from Hip Hop and Christmas music airplay played a part in lost of spins as well.

I really hope we still get a performance or two of the single in the new year as the label preps single #2 for radio (considering that ‘Anything’ is labeled a buzz single).

After 12 weeks on the chart Monica is still holding on at #22 on Billboards R&B/Hip Hop Charts. Maybe after the holiday music play dies down and Monica starts her string of live performances we can see more success for the single before the new single drops!

Monica gets a bullet this week, but not enough to move her from #22 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Charts. We still making moves.

‘Until It’s Gone’ is headed for the top 20…. After ten weeks on the chart, the slow burner makes its way to #22 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts! Team Monica is on the move and I would like to congratulate you for the fact that of the three R&B songs in the top 20 on Urban Airplay, Monica is THE ONLY song that does not have a rap artist on it as a feature! Let’s continue to request and we definitely will have her in the Top 20 next week!

Beyonce’s ‘Party’ featuring Kanye and Andre 3000 is the most played song in the country right now but is almost down by 200 spins and newcomer Elle Varner’s ‘Only Wanna Give It To You’ featuring J. Cole is just a few spins more than Monica right now. Hip Hop is definitely running radio right now, but Monica definitely shows staying power as usual. No one can hold her down!
