What's the story on the (relatively) low chart position of AYNAF anyways? Did people just not connect with it as much or did Sony pull the single or something?
At the time it was her lowest peaking single at Pop radio (#5) following 10 consecutive #1s and a #2 single ('Without You') so I guess it was a matter of burn-out. Plus the album had already sold a lot, so single sales were obviously going to be lower. 

I imagine that's why AYNAF was also her first release to have both a R&B and Dance mix, as an incentive for people to buy the CD single.  

Yeah makes sense to me.  She had kind of been ruling the world at that point and people were bound to get sick of it. 

I still remember buying that AYNAF single (with my lawn mowing money lol) and having my mind completely blown the first time I heard it.  Listening to that, the Fantasy single, and Slipping Away from the ABMB single for the first time were all landmark moments for me that I still remember vividly.
