No One is Alicia Keys' meest succesvolle single ooit.

With only one full day of airplay, "No One" debuted at number sixty-five on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart the week of September 8, 2007. Seven weeks later, it reached the top position for ten weeks—becoming Keys' fifth number-one single on the chart—before being knocked out by her own song "Like You'll Never See Me Again" the first charting week of 2008. The song initially debuted at number fifteen on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles the week of September 15, 2007, and managed to jump to the Billboard Hot 100 at number seventy-one the following week without the benefit of download sales.[4] The following week, it rose to number fifteen because of digital downloads, and reached the top spot the charting week of December 1, 2007, staying atop for five weeks. It is Keys' first solo single to reach number one on the Hot 100 since her debut single "Fallin'" (2001) and her third single, to date, to top the chart. The song's success marked Keys' return to the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 in three years; her last appearance occurred with the number-twenty entry "Karma". Furthermore, "No One" went on to top eleven other Billboard charts: the Hot 100 Airplay (for an impressive fourteen straight weeks, the longest run atop the chart since Mariah Carey's 2005 hit "We Belong Together" spent sixteen weeks at number one), the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, the Hot Adult R&B Airplay, the Pop 100, the Pop 100 Airplay, the Top 40 Mainstream, the Rhythmic Top 40, the Hot Digital Songs, the Hot Digital Tracks, the Hot RingMasters, and the Hot Videoclip Tracks.
"No One" was a massive success in Europe, becoming Keys' first chart-topper on the Euro 200 chart as well as topping the singles chart in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Cyprus, while charting inside the top five in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Malta, Sweden, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, and Slovenia and the top ten in the United Kingdom (where the single became Keys' first solo top ten hit since "Fallin'"), Ireland, Denmark, and Norway. It also charted highly in Oceania, spending three consecutive weeks at number three in Australia and six non-consecutive weeks at number two in New Zealand.
Dus je bent eerder in de minuscule minderheid dan in de meerderheid als je het geen goed nummer vindt. Niet dat dat wat uitmaakt, maar doe nou niet net of het geen moderne klassieker is. Want dat is het dus wel.
My mother was a drug addict. When she got pregnant, she took more drugs. She even tried to kill me inside her with a coat hanger, but I survived. I was born blind as a result, but my mother didn't care. She overdosed choking on her own vomit.
