Intuition was released through Sony’s J Records, which recently merged with Arista but still maintains its individual name.


“Blame It” rose rapidly to the top spot on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Foxx’s first number one on the chart as a lead artist, and his third including featured credits. Blame It topped the chart for seven straight weeks so far. On the Billboard Hot 100 it has thus far reached #7, making it his second top ten hit on the chart as a lead artist and his highest peak on the chart, also making Jamie’s most successful single to date". Source: www.sonyinsider.com
