Background and production

According to Music Choice, Ray J wrote three songs to be produced by Timbaland but could only afford one.

Release and promotion

The album's release was postponed several times (from fall 2003 to March, April, June and July to September 2005 ). The first single choice varied many times, too. At certain points Ray J himself had announced "Keep Sweatin" as his new single. "Quit Actin" was in talks, too, before "One Wish" was picked.

Singles

  • "One Wish" was chosen as the first single in favor over "Keep Sweatin" and "Quit Actin. The Darkchild produced track became a US national hit, peaking at #11 on Billboard's Hot 100 on January 17, 2006. It became Ray-J's first single to reach the Top 20.
  • After a long delay and much speculation to fan favorite "Melody", the album's second single, "What I Need" was released and became his least successful single on the Billboard chart, only peaking at #54 on the Hot Hip Hop/R&B Chart.
  • The third and final single, "Lets Play House" was released. However the song did not chart.

    • Sales and certification

    The album entered the Billboard 200 albums chart at #48, selling 21,517 copies in its first week. To date Raydiation sold over 400,000 copies domestically.
