Ja Rule peaked the Billboard Hot 100 thrice in 2001 with his single "Always on Time" featuring Ashanti and his guest appearances on Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" and "Ain't It Funny".
His encompassing singles, "Put It on Me" featuring Lil' Mo and Vita; "Mesmerize" featuring Ashanti; "Livin' It Up" featuring Case and "Wonderful" featuring R. Kelly and Ashanti have peaked within the top ten of the chart and spawned from commercially successful album releases.
