Music video

edit

A music video was shot on October 6, 2010.[3] The video premiered on October 19 on VEVO.[4] In the "sizzling" clip, Nelly goes to an underground fight-style dance club, meeting up with Akon and T-Pain who make bets with fellow rappers T.I., Yo Gotti, producers Bangladesh and Jermaine Dupri on the sidelines, as various ladies are seen dancing. The video was directed by Marc Klasfeld.[4]

Chart performance

edit

"Move That Body" became a major disappointment on the charts by debuting at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and falling off the chart the week after. The same reception happened to the single on the ARIA charts when it debuted at number 29 and also fell off the week after.
