Amerie's #1

It's as usual when a hype is born; different sources, different information. 2005's to be #1 r'n'b hit, 1 Thing, won't be included on Amerie's forthcoming album Touch. At least not in the US, only in Europe "because they get all the good stuff over there" according to some American. At the same time it's on heavy rotation on some radio stations over in the States, you can buy it from your regular online music stores as an mp3, and there's apparently parts of a video to be seen at her homepage. Now I even hear that the popsters at The Cricket are going bananas over it. Well, they, and everyone else, should. It's the most fantastic r'n'b tune for years, and it's exactly what a genre on the verge of losing all its vitality needs. 1 Thing's for sure, whenever Sony decides to release this as a CD-single it will make it anthem-big!
