Trivia / Ne-Yo

• Chart Displacement: "Because of You" actually charted higher than either "Closer" or "Miss Independent", although the latter two are indisputably better remembered.
• What Could Have Been: Just before his death, Michael Jackson wanted Ne-Yo to write a song for a potential comeback album.
• Written by Cast Member: He helped write a new song for The Wiz, "We Got It", when he played the Tin Man in the TV version.
