Maxwell is already #15 on the Urban AC charts and in the 20s on the normal R&B/Hip Hop charts after 6 days of play. His debut will be quite impressive. The song doesn't officially go for adds until tomorrow on Urban AC. Im sure he'll be #1 on Urban AC by month end, if not a few weeks.

I think Maxwell has one of the best marketing plans. He's been out of the spotlight for nearly a decade. Maxwell is dropping three albums in a three year period. Some people feel that it's overexposure, but I disagree. Ne-Yo has put out three albums in a three year period. I think it will work well for Maxwell, especially after his long break from the music industry. This project has been something I've been anticipating for the longest.
"Pretty Wings" is stunning. I wasn't ready for that one. Wow.
Congratulations, Primetime Emmy Winners!

"Pretty Wings" is gorgeous. Beautifully written, his vocals are so simple on this track (I just love how he comes on the second verse). This man came hard. I can't wait for the album.

Anyone else wondering if Maxwell can crack R&B Album again? He got nominated in that category for his first two albums but was criminally snubbed for his Now album. R&B Album was extremely competitive in 2001, but Maxwell should've gotten nominated over Destiny's Child's mediocre Survivor album.
I forgot that Now was snubbed in favor of Survivor, which was the weakest album in that lineup. I believe Mama's Gun was snubbed as well. Maxwell should have definitely gotten in over DC that year.
I think he can get in. Who else are contenders?
