"The Sweetest Love" is a song by American R&B singer Robin Thicke. The R&B ballad is the follow-up single to the moderately successful "Magic" and is the second official single from Something Else. The song was released to radio on September 9, 2008.
Charts
[edit]The single charted on various amounts of Billboard charts in late November/early December 2008 and peaked at #20 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. While successful on many other Billboard R&B charts, "The Sweetest Love" has not been successful on many mainstream or pop charts. For example, the single has only peaked at #5 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart, (which would actually be equivalent to #105 if the Hot 100 singles went beyond 100 positions).
