JAMIE FOXX TRYING TO PICK NEXT SINGLE

By: Janine Coveney

Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx is thrilled with the Number One chart status of his new J Records album Unpredictable. And while he's represented on the radio via the smash Kanye West single "Gold Digger," he and label execs are trying to decide on what will be Foxx's next solo single.

The rise of Unpredictable on the Billboard Top 200 is impressive considering the competition, which includes Mary J. Blige and the Notorious B.I.G. "Mary's record is amazing, and of course, there's B.I.G., too," Foxx told MTV.com. "I'm in a comfortable position because everything I go out and do, a TV show or a movie, I can promote my album. So I'm out there humpin'it every day. We want people to know about it because we think it's one of those hits. We want to win."

There's no word on what the next single from the album will be, but Foxx says he's enjoying the debate. "We've been arguing about it," he laughed. "It's a great feeling to have that type of argument. We were in the hotel arguing about which song was the hottest. And that's a good feeling, knowing they're all hot."

He added, "Usually when actors or actresses try to come into the music business, usually it's corny. I'm not like that."
