Data Insight
The leanest credit lists in the catalogue, at 3.4 writers a track. The production teams are already written in: The Runners take five and the Mollings brothers five. "Prayer" is the first of only three tracks Ross ever writes alone.
The 2006 debut, released after a bidding war and built on "Hustlin'", which put Ross on the Hot 100 before the album existed.
