The first single off the album, "I'm a Flirt Remix", which features T.I., and T-Pain, attained prominence on the Billboard Top 40 charts, peaking at #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The album features guest appearances by Swizz Beatz, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Usher, Huey, Ludacris, Kid Rock, Polow da Don, Keyshia Cole, with production by Kelly, The Runners, Khao and Polow da Don. R. Kelly stated on his YouTube video channel, that due to the success of his current collaborations with rappers like Young Jeezy and Ludacris, he thought, "why not put some of that magic on my album?" He stated that 70 percent of the record will be uptempo but he assured fans that "there will be some slow jams on there." Prior to the album's release, three songs were leaked onto the Internet: second single "Same Girl", which features Usher; "Rise Up", a song which only appeared on some releases, a tribute to the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007; also making an early appearance was a song titled "Blow It Up", at first supposed to be featured on the album but absent from the final track listing, mainly due to the inappropriate mood it would have created because of the presence of the Virginia Tech shooting tribute song "Rise Up". "Rock Star", which features Ludacris and Kid Rock, was released as the album's third single on September 4. A video for the song "Real Talk" was also made directly on YouTube. On May 25, 2007, four days before the album's release, the explicit version of the album became available for purchase on iTunes. The edited version became available on May 29, 2007, with a bonus track version available a day later. On June 3, 2007 it entered the UK Albums Chart at #10. The album debuted at #1 on the ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 386,000 copies, making this his fifth album to debut at #1.〔http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1051710/r-kelly-flirts-his-way-to-no-1-album-chart-debut〕 The album has sold 1,200,000 copies in the US to date.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R. Kelly Still Steamy On New Song Leaks )〕 ==Track listing== All songs were written, produced, and arranged by R. Kelly himself, excluding the tracks that have featured artists. ;Samples credits ''Double Up'' *"Iceberg" performed by Tweet ''Hook It Up'' *"Turn da Lights Off" performed by Tweet ;Notes *There are different iTunes versions of ''Double Up''. Some feature the track "Ringtone" as track 20 instead of 19.〔(gnoos — Internal server error )〕 Other versions have "I Like Love" or the video for "I'm a Flirt" as bonus features. *On all versions (digital and CD) of ''Double Up'', "I'm a Flirt" is presented in its censored form while the other songs are not. *On most international versions of the album, the song "Rise Up" is omitted in favor of the aforementioned bonus tracks. The song "Rise Up" was reportedly intended predominantly for North American listeners because it is about the Virginia Tech massacre, something that some non-North American fans of R. Kelly may be unfamiliar with. *An extended version of the song "Get Dirty" with an extended verse by Chamillionaire was released on R. Kelly's MySpace page. * A new intro to the song "I'm a Flirt (Remix)" was released, only featuring an additional 10 seconds of music before the actual song. The only evidence of this was found on YouTube.〔 This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.〕 The video is no longer available because the YouTube account which uploaded the video has been deleted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double Up (R.
