Background [edit]
Although "Lonely" offered the album's best pick in terms of commercial breakthrough, SRC Records A&R Jerome Foster told HitQuarters that "Locked Up" was chosen considering he wanted to pause Akon in the streets first and work towards a cantankerous-over. "Locked Up" is a street record. I thought that was the place for us to start to become a fan-base, knowing that we had a record similar "Lonely", which was more commercial, to follow it."[12] The last appearance on the Billboard 200 was for the chart dated November 26, 2005. The album first appeared on the UK Album Chart on February 12, 2005. Information technology slowly climbed upwards the chart before finally reaching the pinnacle on Apr 30, 2005. Information technology and so spent two non-consecutive weeks at #one on the UK Album Chart. Problem is past far Akon'south most successful album in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland to appointment.
