Data Insight
Twelve of the sixteen tracks carry his name and none of them are his alone. R. Kelly wrote one outright and Troy Taylor takes four, so the record is a set of rooms he sang in rather than one he ran.
The Senior came out on Epic in April 2003 and has sold 862,000 in the United States. "In Those Jeans" reached number 8 on the Hot 100.
