The Charts Update (January 16, 2010)
Some developments have occurred over the past few days. FISTFUL of TEARS, the “supposed” third single from BLACKsummers’night, does not have an official release date for the single (for purchase). But the single was added to several radio station playlists, November 2009.
This is not necessarily new information, just something that will make you scratch your head in wonder. Just this week, a couple of websites have begun to report that, HELP SOMEBODY Remix f/Nas will be the third single from BLACKsummers’night. Just wondering, WHICH ONE IS IT?
So…if you enjoy listening to FISTFUL OF TEARS and if your local radio station is playing the song, continue to request it. Also, late December 2009, it was reported that BLACKsummers’night has achieved Platinum status. Check out the charts below.
