¹ "Tyrone" was released as a promotional/radio-only single and therefore it was not allowed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 or the Hot R&B/Hip-Songs and were not eligible to chart until the rule change to include album cuts in 1998. Chart peaks represent Hot 100 Airplay and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay data.
