Tamia Scores Her Highest-Charting Album Ever With 'Love Life'After nearly 20 years on Billboard's various charts, singer Tamia scores her highest-charting album ever on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (dated June 27), as Love Life arrives in the No. 2 slot. It also launches at No. 1 on R&B Albums. Love Life sold 16,000 copies in the week ending June 14, according to Nielsen Music, up 22 percent compared to the first week sales from her previous album, Beautiful Surprise. The latter set entered Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at No. 6 in 2012. The new album’s second single “Stuck With Me” concurrently climbs 26-23 in its second week on Adult R&B Songs (up 18 percent in spins at the format). Lead single “Sandwich and a Soda” peaked at No. 20 on the airplay chart (May 23), and marked her 14th trip to the top 20.

Glad she saw a increase from her last album but the fact that she was able to get urban AC hits on her last 2 albums as an independent artist and hasn't done anything with Def jam is crazy to me.

16,000 copies is #2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart? Damn.

#1 for a second week on R&B Albums; falls to #6 on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums; tumbles to #109 on the Top 200.

I really hope "Stuck With Me" or "Sandwich and a Soda" catches on.

Love Life exits the Billboard 200 in third week. #27-#109-unknown. The sales are probably under 30.

Damn it's getting harder for R&B acts to sustain on the chart. Truly sad.

Ok, the Stuck With Me video should've been out by now. I hope this isn't another one video era.

When has she had a 1 video era? The last album; she shot a video for Give Me You that was never released. Between Friends is the only album era she's had that received 3 videos.

Oh, ok. I knew she shot a video for "Give Me You". I wonder why didn't she release it?

I just gave this a listen and I think it's actually my 2nd favorite album from her. Really great. The only track I didn't care for was Day One, and even that was nice in a American Idol coronation song kind of way.

This album is dead in the water already. Tragic!

She's shooting a video for Day One. It won't do sh*t, but at least it's another visual.

Yes you're right, but I think this music isn't connecting with that audience. "Sandwich & Soda", imo, would have worked better at urban than urban AC and also it wasn't "Tamia's signature sound". Any R&B chick could have sung that song. Even my sister didn't recognize her when she first heard it. I think "Stuck With You" is good as an album track than a single.

NEW DATES ADDED!
Also, I was gonna make an Essentials mix CD for the BF who is a newbie to Tamia. Thinking if aiming for her bigger (more known) singles, and perhaps a bonus album track or two. What would your guys ultimate tracklists (in introducing a person to Tamia - as they might only know her for "So Into You" or "Stranger in My House")?
Currently:
1. You Put a Move On My Heart 2. Missing You (w/Brandy, Gladys Knight & Chaka Khan) 3. Imagination 4. So Into You 5. Spend My Life With You (w/Eric Benet) 6. Can't Go For That 7. Stranger in My House 8. Officially Missing You 9. Questions 10. Still 11. Can't Get Enough 12. Me 13. Almost 14. Beautiful Surprise 15. Sandwich and a Soda 16. Stuck With Me 17. Crazy (Patsy Cline Cover) (Bonus Track)

Wow, I just realized I do NOT have the Tamia version of "Slow Jams" (always relied on the Quincy Jones' "Q's Jook Joint" album). Can anyone help?

So it would be pretty logical to just shoot the second video between the August 29th and September 11th gap, but a Tamia era never really makes too much sense.
