"Wonderful" is the lead single from rapper Ja Rule's 2004 album R.U.L.E.. The song features American pop-R&B singers R. Kelly and Ashanti. Hype Williams directed the music video.
On Ashanti's album Concrete Rose there was a remix featuring R. Kelly's chorus, Ja Rule's two verses from the original, and then a new Ashanti verse exclusively on the remix. The remix cut out R. Kelly's verse.
In the U.S. "Wonderful" went on to peak at number five in November 2004 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his fourth top five hit on the chart.[2] In the United Kingdom it went on to top the UK Singles Chart, also making it his first number one hit in Britain, though it is the country's lowest selling #1 hit, with only sales of 65,000. The song became Ja Rule's eight top ten hit, Ashanti's tenth top ten hit, and R. Kelly's sixteenth top ten hit, and it has been certified gold in the United States by the RIAA.
