Notes

1. Song was not released in the US as a commercial single but was issued as a full, physical single release in the UK.
2. Did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 or Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart (Billboard rules at the time prevented album cuts from charting). Chart peak listed here represents Hot 100 Airplay and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts data.
3. "MJB da MVP" was played briefly by radio in the US in 2005 before the first official single from The Breakthrough, "Be Without You", was released. It was the only single from Mary J. Blige's Reflections (A Retrospective) album in the UK.
4. "We Ride (I See the Future)" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 18 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.^[42]
5. "Someone to Love Me (Naked)" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number eight on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.^[42]
6. "Thick of It" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 25 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.^[42]
7. "Beautiful" only charted at number 72 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart due to old chart rules which prevented album cuts (tracks that had not been released as physical singles) from charting. The rules changed in December 1998, but by that time "Beautiful" was near the end of its popularity. The song peaked at number 13 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart earlier that year.
