Footnotes

• ^^ = Not released for sale, but was only a radio single in the US.
• ^^^ = While Jackson appears on "Diamonds", Billboard considers it a Herb Alpert single, and the track therefore does not count towards her Hot 100 chart totals, it does count towards her R&B totals. Similarly, "Making Love in the Rain" features backing vocals by Jackson, and it does not contribute to her chart statistics.
• # = "All Nite (Don't Stop)" was released as a double A-side single in the UK with "I Want You".
• Some other promotional singles were "Love and My Best Friend" (released in Brazil only) and "Ask for More" (Pepsi single). However, they did not chart.
• * = Indicates peak on Billboard Hot 100 airplay and R&B airplay charts for songs without commercial singles before airplay-only songs were allowed to chart starting late 1998.
