BREAKING NEWS: 'DISRESPECTFUL' HITS #1 IN THE COMMERCIAL POP CHARTS!
16.05.09 - MW Chart commentary - "It’s not so close on the Commercial pop chart, where dueling divas Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige’s Disrespectful romps to the #1 title, a full 10% ahead of its nearest challenger. Veterans Khan, 56, and Blige, 38, recorded Disrespectful at a slower tempo for Khan’s 2008 album Funk This, but the track has been overhauled by a selection of mixers, including Riffs & Rays, SoulShaker and Redtop, and is now prime dancefloor fodder."
