What happened to Maneater. It was released as a single in the US 9I think) and it got some radio play, but then the radio play ceased and Say it Right came on. Don't get me wrong, I really like Say It Right, but I was just wondering what happened, if anyone knows. —The preceding

Radio promotion was halted prematurely in favour of "Say It Right", but the label never said why. I've read an article where this was mentioned, so perhaps we should include it in the article.

Information?
This isn't your typical pop song... It seems tribal, or something. Is there any information on what kind of music this is? —The preceding

Nelly Furtado normally names her songs very well, but has anyone else noticed she only says "say it right" once in the song?--

She didn't write the song.

My boyfriend and I have a bet going. He thinks that Justin Timberlake features in the video 'Say it Right' Can someone please help?
Should we say something about the recording quality? It's pretty horribly clipped, at least on the album; presumably this was a deliberate production decision, but it doesn't make it easy to listen to. Have the producers ever commented on this? I suppose I should dig up some citations for the problem... --

I see the editor who claims the song samples "You Belong to the City" has inserted that claim into the article again, and I've removed it again. The songs haven't been compared in any
reliable source (or even any unreliable one, as far as Google indicates), and the album liner notes don't credit the writers of the earlier song, which is what they would do if it was an official sample.
Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought.

Does anyone know who they are? I read somewhere that they were with the group B2K. Can anyone confirm this? —The preceding

Succession boxes
This article is developing really nicely, but I don't think every one of the eighteen (!!) succession boxes in the "Charts" section needed to be included. It's possible even mentioning anything about the single's performance in minor markets such as Latvia and Croatia isn't necessary, though that's a discussion better suited to another talk page. Thoughts?
Extraordinary Machine02:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)reply
OK, so what are the major markets in the world? Then, which ones should we include in the succession boxes and which ones should not be included?
RaNdOm2617:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)reply
There's an unreferenced list of the major music markets at
World music market. Regardless, most of these charts shouldn't be mentioned at all? I'm dying to know how much influence
Niue has on the global market.
Wikipedia:Record charts recommends using no more than 18 charts (including Billboard ones), so I've removed a large number of minor music markets.

Guitar Sample at End
I know the guitar noise at the fade out of the song was sampled from something (its also played in the chorus) .. Anyone have an idea?

GA nomination on hold
"The song served as the album's fifth single in Latin America" - change "served as" to "was" as this phrased was used in the last sentence too
There's only one ref in the lead - guidelines state to cite everything or nothing; suggest you remove the one ref
"It is featured on" --> "The song is featured on"
"the 2006 American Music Awards[6]" - Need a comma before the ref
"and on Canada's MuchMusic in the" - Should MuchMusic be in italics?
"it returned to the countdown on 14 December[14]" - move the ref to the end of the sentence
"on U.S. radio in 2007, [23] and on the year-end chart of Billboard, it ranked at number nine. [24]" - Remove the spaces before the refs
"the ARIA accredited it as a platinum single." - Remove "the", and here's a source:
[1]
"It is her most successful song in" - Change "It" to "Say It Right"
