Anytime is a 1997 album by Brian McKnight. This was the last record McKnight recorded with Mercury Records before moving to Motown. In fact, Anytime would be re-released on Motown after he signed with the label (as Mercury and Motown at the time were both owned by PolyGram). The single "You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)" became his biggest hit in four years, peaking at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It featured rapper Mase, whose own career was at its peak during 1997. It broke into the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, and to date is McKnight's highest peaking album on the Top R&B Albums chart where it took the #1 position for three weeks.
The song "Anytime" was an even bigger hit, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay Chart in May 1998. The song was not released as a single, therefore it was not eligible to chart on the Hot 100, but despite that, it was one of the most played songs on the radio during 1998.
