That title is still referenced in several songs on the album.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The album's lead single, "Number One" featuring Keri Hilson, was released on July 28, 2009. The song peaked at number 59 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.[5][6]</div><div></div><div></div><div>In a mixed review, The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin gave the album a C+ rating and commented that it "feels generic".[8] Drew Hinshaw of The Village Voice found it lacking any "larger themes from Untitled's sex seminars" and stated, "It's tragic to see a master of r&b finesse fall back onto a childish, domineering bent that comes off as boorish, entitled, and mean-spirited."[17] Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot wrote that Kelly "massages simple (and sometimes simplistic) words into hooks through phrasing that is pliant, inventive, audacious, sometimes silly", commenting that "That ardor is framed by music that is everything his lyrics are not: subtle, ornate, at times downright refined. As a producer and arranger, he is meticulous with detail, orchestrating hand claps, finger snaps and drum machines to create just the right rhythm backdrop for an evening of 'wooo and weee'".[18] Jon Pareles of The New York Times found the album "routine" for Kelly, although he stated, "Still, even a routine R. Kelly song outshines much of the competition."[11]</div><div></div><div></div><div>The album debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200, selling 110,000 copies in its first week, marking his ninth top five album on the chart. As of June 2022, the album sold over 500,000 copies in the United States. A disappointing performance compared to his previous album Double Up which debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 and sold over 1,000,000 copies</div><div></div><div></div><div>Of all the things that could undermine-- and perhaps torpedo-- R. Kelly's career, laziness has rarely been considered. What a decade it's been for Kelly-- he's thrived in a curious way, morphing from true blue 1990s R&B icon into an increasingly strange and beguiling pop culture oddball. He is known by more people now than ever, though not always for the best reasons. He released bold albums (Chocolate Factory), brave albums (Happy People/U Saved Me), and bad albums (TP.3 Reloaded). He has been the maximalist to end all, creating and eventually overindulging his "Trapped in the Closet" video novella series. He collaborated on two disappointing albums with Jay-Z. He contributed two of his steeliest songs ever, both ballads, to Whitney Houston's comeback album, I Look to You, this year. He had sex in the kitchen, sex in the jungle, sex with your girlfriend. And on June 13, 2008, Kelly battled and beat child pornography charges. Which, to many, is all that matters now.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>But Untitled isn't sunk by the vestiges of scandal-- this just isn't Kelly at his best. He has survived for so many years in a ravenously young genre-- R&B pop-- by innovating. But too often here he trips over trends-- on "Crazy Night" he abuses Auto-Tune, on "Text Me" he overthinks modern communication, and on "Superman High" he mistakes OJ Da Juiceman for a suitable foil. These are the blunders made by an aging man working hard to stay relevant, expending energy on ephemera. In 2008, Kelly planned to release 12 Play: 4th Quarter, a third sequel of sorts to his astonishing 1993 debut. But the album (no classic) leaked months in advance, and the project was junked and rerecorded. A handful of songs from 4th Quarter have survived and made it to Untitled; but hearing Kelly moan "This is the 4th quarter!" on "Go Low" is a bizarre remnant-- it disrupts any chance at continuity and is otherwise just confusing to anyone who hasn't followed the story. Scrapping the remaining songs, all unremarkable, would have gone a long way toward trimming what, at 62 minutes, is already a slog.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As with nearly every R. Kelly album, sex is Untitled's raison d'être. But now it's more discomfiting. Not because his perspective or predilections have changed. They haven't. The man wants to have sex for long periods of time. With multiple partners. At all hours available. But the consequences of his commitment are devastating. Only when he's at his best is it easy to imagine some other R. Kelly, one unmarked by shame, singing with vigor about banging headboards.</div><div></div><div></div><div>"Echo", a melodic marvel, is the best song Kelly has recorded in years, managing to make yodeling (yes) elemental, not a gimmick. It's graceful and gorgeous and about a sex session. "Exit", too, is fascinating reinvention-- Kelly sing-raps every bar, lifting his elastic, burnished voice up at nearly each word's end. To wit: "Now I can't leave(!) this club(!!!) without(!!) you girl(!!!)/ Swear I (!!) want more(!!) you deserve an encore(!!!)." This kind of phrasing just isn't normal, and only a person who has written hundreds of songs with same-y lyrics is capable of altering delivery like this. Maybe it's a pittance in the grand scheme of his important career-- modern R&B is racked with artists like The-Dream and Trey Songz who simply would not exist without him-- but these are the things to root for on R. Kelly albums. That there are so few makes this a minor work.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This week, R. Kelly dominates the R&B albums chart with his tenth solo album, Untitled debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. This marks the prolific singer/songwriter/producer's fourth No. 1 R&B album debut, following R. Kelly (1995), R.(1998) and TP-2.COM (2000).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Kelly's new album is receiving rave reviews: Rolling Stone observes, "Kelly shows why he's still the master." USA Today gives the album "3 out of 4 stars." Billboard adds, "[w]ith 18 years and counting under his belt, the singer/songwriter reminds us why he remains an R&B force."</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Chicago native's remarkable career spans two decades filled with accomplishments and achievements. He has sold over 34 millions records worldwide, released seven No. 1 albums (including Untitled), twelve platinum-plus selling albums and had eleven No. 1 singles. He has released fourteen albums total, including compilations and collaborations, and nine platinum-certified solo albums. He has collaborated and written songs for musical icons from all genres including: Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Pussycat Dolls, Usher and Celine Dion. After 18 years of stardom, Kelly continues to wear the crown as the King of R&B.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you buy an album, you can call it whatever you want -- at least [article id="1604777"]R. Kelly thinks so[/article]. In February, Kelly partied in Atlanta club the Velvet Room with Jazze Pha, DJ Infamous and others and told the crowd that his new album didn't have a name.</div><div></div><div></div><div>"ATL, what's up? I got my little brother right here, Jazze Pha," he said, standing in the VIP balcony. "I'm out here working on the mutha----in' album. I'm working on a new album, and I'm calling that mutha----a Untitled. Y'all call it what y'all want."</div><div></div><div></div><div>"He had reached out awhile ago for the mixtape," Drama said of Kelly's tape. "So I know it's been on his mind. I think it finally just came together for him. It's a song on there called 'Bangin' the Head Board.' Problem! He redid Dream's 'Kelly's 12 Play.' Ridiculous. He gave some exclusives from the album -- it's some heat on there. Somebody that big doing a mixtape is dope. It's keeping the game alive. It's necessary."</div><div></div><div></div><div>Untitled is the ninth studio album by American R&B recording artist R. Kelly. It was released by Jive Records on December 1, 2009. It was entirely produced by R.

MGK previously confirmed with the host in December that the album will have a stacked array of collabs with plans to drop it in the first quarter of 2020.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Today, Barker and MGK headed to the Beats 1 studio to chat with Lowe where the latter revealed the album will be called Tickets To My Downfall. So, rest easy blink-182 fans because there will only be one untitled pop-punk project.</div><div></div><div></div><div>With just six months passing since the release of his fourth full-length, Hotel Diablo, Machine Gun Kelly is continuing to defy expectations in more ways than one with the promise of a pop-punk album in 2020. First teased as a rock album amid studio sessions with Travis Barker, blackbear, Goody Grace, Mod Sun and more, MGK updated his plans for a pop-punk album.</div><div></div><div></div><div>\"My last album is what people know me for,\" the singer told the outlet. \"They see me as this starry-eyed, rose-colored glasses kinda girl; the 'Golden Hour' girl. Well, here I come with a post-divorce album, bursting the f****** bubble.\"</div><div></div><div></div><div>But if Manson is at all uncomfortable about having to leave his temporary cocoon, he doesn't sound it. In fact, he sounds about as jovial and relaxed as Revolver has ever heard him, something which may have to do with how happy he is so far with the work-in-progress that is his forthcoming 11th studio album, the follow-up to 2017's Heaven Upside Down. A collaboration with outlaw country rocker Shooter Jennings, who'd previously teamed up with Manson in 2016 for a cover of David Bowie's "Cat People," the album will supposedly be out by the end of the year.</div><div></div><div> dd2b598166</div>
