GO JOSS!! There is no real competition the week of March 20th so she could easily get that no.1 on the BB 200!!!! Elliott Yamin (sp?) is releasing that day, right? I guess you never know, he might near 100k. How much did Mind, Body & Soul sell during its first week? It'll no doubt be significantly lower than that.

Maybe it won't be lower after all.

I think Joss could easily do 100k her first week out with this one. She has a strong promo buzz going into this.

No,the album is NOT doing well in the Uk...this is due to a lot of backlash she's underservedly getting for her image change and her accent...then we have the fact that they've done almost nothing to REALLY promote TELL ME 'BOUT IT...only a VERY few appearances and,for example,the BRITS one was a disaster('cause Joss behaved in a strange way that was supposed to be funny,but turned out to be unaccepted by the Uk audience) :( Anyway,I Do believe the album WILL rebound with the next singles over there :)

It was not funny at all. What I'm not getting is how they hate her for her American accent now? Hasn't she lived in America since she was 14? What do they expect? Ugh. And I thought it was going to go like 2x platinum in the UK.

Does anyone think this Dallas Austin "scandal" is going to hurt sales?

She basically came dressed with sexy clothes and an American accent, said something that was supposed to be funny but wasn't and sang one line from Amy's "Rehab". It was lame, but when I first watched I didn't think it would make her album flop.

I think it's ridiculous that people cared so much. I personally didn't understand what the joke was lol but I wouldn't not buy her music because of it. I feel a bit sorry for her to be honest :(

I hope 'Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now' can save this project. 'Tell Me Bout It' drops to No. 40 this week.

I feel a bit sorry for her to be honest :( I agree. She's an extremely talented artist, a lame joke and an American accent shouldn't be enough to make people hate her. I forgot to say, she sent "big love" to Robbie Williams. Ha.

a flop single and a flop album. She may be #11 though (I PRAY!!!). It should have been her 3rd number 1 album :(

Wikipedia has it at #12 - don't know if it's true or not. I'm so disappointed. I thought this era would throw her in superstardom.

TMWWGDN is gonna be huge in the U.S., but the UK hate her now. Lots of artists do stupid things but it doesn't really effect them... I really hope her sales recover...

Honestly, if the backlash and lukewarm response to her first single hurts her enough, Elliot may get the #1 which would be shocking. But either way...I dont want Joss to flop :( I like her, I think she is talented...I do not want her to falter this quickly in her career! Not even breaking the top 10 albums is so bad in the UK :(

I can imagine Lloyd and Musiq being in the #1 mix if Joss Stone's album underperforms.
I'm really surprised about her UK sales -- I know the print coverage hasn't been friendly, but my impression was that the reviews of the music itself weren't that bad. I don't necessarily see that bearing on US sales, though I think there was more print media heat behind Joss Stone when Mind, Body & Soul was released. I don't think "You Had Me" was doing much on the radio when that album was released.
I think Introducing Joss Stone is a stronger album overall than M,B & S (which struck me as affected), so I'll be disappointed if it doesn't do well in the States. Are they selling this album at Starbucks? I think this album could do well in that outlet. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. Stone cleared 1 million in US scans with M,B & S, and I think the commercial considerations on IJS are well-integrated enough that this album could do even better here.

^I agree that this album is stronger than Mind, Body, and Soul, though I didn't find the latter affected.
Anyway, I really like IJS, and it's on its way to me now via Amazon. I will also be disappointed if this doesn't sell platinum.

AMG gave her album 3 stars. They basically said it's a good album but Joss still sounds like a talented vocalist with a lot of potential instead of a talented vocalist who's fulfilling that potential.

This is the best R&B and pop album this year and it will be difficult to beat it, also the best work by Raphael Saadiq since Lucy Pearl days or even Sons of Soul album. It seems, that UK people need more hype than good music, that's why their standards of music have decreased - all the crap they hype and buy...
