Chart Performance
The song was released on July 24, 2006 to U.S. radios and instantly debuted at number 68 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart after only four days of airplay. Afterwards it jumped from number sixty-eight to number forty-eight on that particular chart, before eventually entering the top 30, reaching its peak position of number eleven. The song became Monica's tenth top twenty entry on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Tracks chart.
On August 3, 2006, "Everytime tha Beat Drop" debuted at number six on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. While it entered the Hot 100 at number ninety-four in the following week, the song failed to enter the top 50 until its tenth week on particular chart – the same week The Makings of Me became available via digital download. The single eventually reached a peak position of number 48 on the official Hot 100, becoming Monica's least successful lead single since 2002's "All Eyez on Me."
Looking back, however, Monica admitted she would have re-worked her strategy following the mediocre success of the lead single. Instead of allowing her label to influence the selection of her singles, she would have looked more to her fans for opinions: "If I had to do something over again, I'd probably release more than one single and let the audience choose which one they would have wanted to hear," she admitted to SOHH, adding: "I don’t regret doing the song, I regret not fighting with them about making it the first single. We told the label don’t put that out as a first single because it’s a poor representation of the album.

Famous quotes containing the words chart and/or performance:
“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
