UK Number 40s: Mary J Blige featuring Eve - Not Today (2003)

 


It had been just over a decade since Mary J Blige had made her Top 40 debut. In the period from then up to this record charting she'd clocked up 25 Top 40 hits. Only Madonna and R Kelly had more Top 40 hits during the same period.

Many of her earlier hits only made the lower reaches of the Top 40 but she had made the Top 20 with all her 21st century hits prior to this record. 

It was Top 40 hit number 7 out of 10 for Eve having made her Top 40 debut in 2001. The majority of her Top 40 hits came in collaboration with other artists.

Dr Dre was behind hits for both Mary J Blige and Eve earlier on in the 21st century and he was behind this record too. It was taken from the film "Barbershop 2: Back In Business" which had Eve in it.

This record certainly seemed more popular at the time than its number 40 position would have suggested.
