^ She's opening for Maxwell this Summer, so that's great exposure right there. The label will probably have limited promo.

Glad that the album was pushed. I don't understand labels. Why invest money into something and then do nothing to promote it???

I posted here one week ago that I thought that Fantasia's album would be pushed back. There has been absolutely NO promo for it.
I see that I was right. It's better that the album is pushed back if a new single is released WITH a music video.

Why is she pandering to UAC when she could be releasing current hits like "Without Me"?

Yeah, as much as I love WM, even with Urban airplay, it only peaked at #26 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart so it's not like their support is going to make a significant impact for her. However, I do hope we have at least contemporary record like that on the album.

In fairness, that #26 peak was after Billboard started factoring in sales and overall airplay into most of the genre charts, which generally puts non-crossover songs at a disadvantage. Without Me peaked at #6 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. Every album before this had at least one single that catered to both formats so I understand someone questioning why RCA wouldn't try to lead the era with another song that did the same. Sales are hard to come by from both formats, especially for the women, but you would think they'd want to maximize her audience's awareness of the album as much as possible.

She made a lot of money at that recent concert. It shows she can still pull in a decent crowd even without having a big hit.

If Fantasia's album achieves debut sales of at least 40,000, do you think she will open at #1?
What albums are her competition for the top spot during the week of July 29?
