^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 not surprised. They've been sizing her up to be dropped for quite some time now.

I think RCA is like this with all their R&B artists, not only with Fantasia :/ this sold another 4,000 copies the past week! 45,000 so far!

Is anyone else shocked that "Sleeping With The One I Love" entered the Top 10 on Mediabase's Urban AC chart today?
I really thought that the song was dead because it hovered between #15 - 20 for over 3 months.
Now, it may actually may go Top 5.

Not surprised it took so long. The song isn't instant so the charting would have taken some time, but I'm not surprised that it eventually got there.

$5.99 on iTunes right now.
The more I listen to it the more of a masterpiece it seems to me. "So Blue", "When I Met You", "Crazy", "Wait for You", "Roller Coaster" are still constantly on repeat.

On Facebook, Fantasia is showing the filming of the new single "WHEN I MET YOU".
I think it's a good single choice. Her daughter Zion is playing the young version of Fantasia in the video, which is supposed to have a 1990s throwback.

Got another Grammy nomination today 😍 Over the years she's really racked up an impressive amount of nominations. The only other two idol artists who still get consistent nominations are Carrie and Kelly. She's in great company

I can't say I'm too mad about her lack of album nom. This is by far the most disappointing album of the year for me. I use none of it and I worship this woman.

And Mandisa and to a slightly lesser extent Danny Gokey are successful in Christian. Also Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee though I kinda meant in music in my original post and Jennifer isn't doing so well in her music side the last few years. My bad though all around lol

Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Katharine McPhee, Chris Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, Adam Lambert, Todrick Hall, Tori Kelly are all still making big money in their chosen fields. The problem is, the measures of success have changed drastically in the last ten years.
These people are made up of Grammy winners, Oscar winners, New York Times Best sellers, television stars, multi-platinum selling, endorsement snatching hundreds of millions of YT views getting, millionaires.

Lol Jennifer Hudson stays booked. Just got another Grammy nomination from her broadway cast album of The Color Purple and she just finished Hairspray Live 2 weeks ago. Her new movie Sing is in theaters now and she has 2 movies coming out in 2017.

^ But somehow Monica and JHud are still listed there... RCA is a mess considering all the duds that were released last year Monica announced late last year that she and RCA parted ways, I believe? So her still being listed on the website is an odd oversight. They might just be riding out their contract with Jennifer. Fantasia likely finished hers so - this is splitting hairs a bit, but rather than saying she was dropped it would be more accurate to say her contract was not renewed; that could have been a mutual parting. (I'm basing this on what we know of Kelly and Carrie's old 19/Sony contracts - it seems that the early idol winners got 5 album deals, and The Definition Of is Fantasia's fifth album.) Definitely agreed on RCA. I hate how they've run most of their urban roster into the ground with neglect and on one hand wish they'd just set all those artists free. But I struggle to think of any other major label where Fantasia could expect adequate support. It will be interesting to see where she goes next.

I can see Fantasia doing well as an indie artist on Eone (which is seemingly where all the r&b acts are finding themselves. She has a strong fanbase and I think with the right material she could easily find herself as a mainstay on UAC format. Warryn Campbell's MYBLOCK may be an okay move as well. Whateve the case, get back in the studio and cook up some REAL rock-soul and put something out THIS year. Ppl have either forgotten about this last album or didn't pay attention in the first place.

It's sad because I really like The Definition of.... I won't be surprised if eOne or even Shanachie end up signing her. She's too UAC or gospel-leaning for a major label deal.

This will probably have a jazz sound similar to the show "after midnight".

I'm happy to see her on a label like Concord instead of eOne.
