Alicia Keys’ “Best Of Me,” from her double-disc KEYS album, rises two spots to No. 10 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart this week, becoming her 22nd top 10 on that list.
The Sade-sampled track is Keys’ first top 10 single since “So Done,” featuring Khalid, peaked atop the chart in March 2021 for a single week.
Its success landed the legendary singer-songwriter the title as the artist with the most number-one singles with 12 total.

Keys recently spoke to Rated R&B about KEYS, particularly her “incredible” experience collaborating with Mike WiLL Made-It on the Unlocked side.
“When you collaborate with people, sometimes it’s great. Sometimes it’s like, no, that’s not working (laughs). With Mike, it was really instant,” explained Keys.
“He’s been all in for the whole process on the Unlocked side and really helping to create that sonic. It’s fire. The concept is sick. I loved that we were able to connect like that.”
“Best Of Me” was issued as the second single from KEYS, having an Originals and Unlocked version. In addition, an official video and visualizer starring her husband Swizz Beatz were packaged and unveiled upon the song’s release.
In other news, Keys shared an Apple exclusive EP titled Alicia Keys: Sweet Dreams. She also appeared on Khalid’s Scenic Drive EP.
