I think it depends on what / if there's a third single released to radio. I've already stated my two favorite songs on the album, but based on overall feedback, her label definitely should release "WHEN I MET YOU" at least to Urban and Urban AC and in October and "I MADE IT" to Gospel any time.
I think the release of these two songs would result in at least another 100,000 sale units. They seem to be the most popular song looking at Youtube (# of views, # of comments) of the previously unreleased album tracks.

I'm down for "When I Met You" as the next single.
Also I want a radio edit because usually when she starts talking, I just replay it.

Thanks for posting the interview. I love hear her speak and hearing her testimonies. She's definitely becoming a soul legend.

She has came a long way and it shows in how she articulates her art. I may not always agree with everything she says, but I do enjoy her knowledge on things in the industry and herself.
On the topic of Grammy, I hope she can score a nomination for vocals with "No Time For It". Album, mmm.

I pray that Grammy will appreciate this album, because I feel like this is the most "her" album and that's probably part of the reason why people regard it as too bland or whatever.

Love this girl. I appreciate and love that she fought for it. Thats what music is about. Love Ugly and Lonely Legend (tina turner vibes) best. Nice to see all her albums have Top 10 debuts.

Fantasia debuted at #19 I believe which was really bizarre at the time. It ended up peaking at #10 though.

She didn't need to be up there for the Prince tribute. Miguel was the only one missing, imo, for his tribute.

She just tweeted a question on twitter on which single do we like, I Made it or When I Met You. I wish she chooses the later one

Why can't her label release "I MADE IT" to Gospel stations and "WHEN I MET YOU" to Urban and Urban AC with the possibly of the latter being released to Pop / Adult Contemporary? "I MADE IT" does not need much backing' praise and worship teams already are singing it. It's the most popular new song on her album in terms of buzz.

"I Made It" should go to Gospel. I'm definitely down for "When I Met You" as the next single though.

I just checked the Twitter results of the next single choice posted on her account; the poll closed. 41% voted for I MADE IT, and 59% voted for WHEN I MET YOU.
When do you think the next single will be released?

^ "Sleeping With The One I Love" just increased by 125 spins on Urban AC yesterday, so it seems like it still has some life left in it. It was #16 yesterday.

Somehow, i really hope she releases I Made It since it has a bigger potential to be a huge hit in the Gospel genre rather than another top 20 Urban AC hit

^Well, it's to be expected. This is the absolutely WORST album promotional push I have seen for any of Fantasia's albums. She used to be booked on many radio stations for a month leading to her album's release. This time, she's done a few radio shows and had two TV specials. The promotion has been very weak.

I'm wondering whether RCA will even give this album a push... I really hope Fantasia doesn't re-sign with them :( she deserves so much more

"Sleeping With The One I Love" is pretty much dead on radio after a slight rebound recently.
I really hope "When I Met You" is sent to radio pronto!

As I remember it, Fantasia peaked at 19, then dropped further down the chart. 133,000 in its first week, then 62,000 the following week. Did "When I See U" cause a rebound to number 10 at some point? The album ultimately went gold.
