If they're smart, they'll submit ETM to Traditional R&B Vocal as well.

Yes Shooter i think ETM' has a really strong chance to win there, and LAOM' has a really strong shot at winning for best Female R&b.

Monica isnt winning Female R&B over Fantasia (bittersweet) or Alicia Keys (unthinkable). Traditional R&B vocal is her best chance for a win.

There is no way she is winning. Plus people have said this over and over but R&B VOCAL just means the song has vocals not that it is the best vocal performance

Wow. She's just passing the 500k mark with this album? :o You would think with 2 R&B smashes she would be doing much better.
How is this album doing internationally?

500k for an artist who does not get pop hit is nothing to sneeze at in 2010

^Maybe her fans responded better to the traditional R&B ballad style, but hopefully this doesn't mean that she'll be stuck doing this style of music for awhile. She isn't that old. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I didn't listen to her last album, but based on the 1st single, ETBD, I'm guessing it was more hip hop than traditional R&B ballad style.

^Yes. she branched out R&B/Hip-Hop for her last album. I personally liked it. But I like "Miss Thang" Monica also.

How is this album doing internationally? monica isn't an inter national seller so the album hasn't done anything overseas although it was released in the uk. For the sales environment, her sales are ok and better than her last album but it won't go past 635-650k when it's all done. However i get your point, 2 r&b smashes, it should have done 750k+ but...

Her album will go past 635k, i don't understand why it isn't selling more either. I know she releases all r&b material but they were two huge mainstream hits. She has a chance at winning Best Female Vocal Performance. I know she should def. get best r&b album.

She has a chance at winning Best Female Vocal Performance. I know she should def. get best r&b album. we'll revisit this thread in Jan/Feb. The album is selling around 3,500 a week now. Even if you account for holiday sales and average out 4k a week, heck I'ld give you 5k a week, that still only would bring it to 570k or so. Jan and Feb will see the album sell around 1,500 a week or so soso I don't anticipate it selling more than 635-650k on the high end at the end of the day. Trey Songz, 'Mr. Steal yo girl' has had so much urban promo,airplay, over 6 songs, multiple high profile features, a tour and 'REady' is just at 807k cds sold. She's working on a new album with the new single to drop next summer. This album will probably just have 1 more single then it's a wrap.

This album is way to good, and should be selling a whole lot more than it is.

She has more singles that should be released off of this album. I hope she releases two more singles, and it helpes her album sales out. She really deserves to go platinum.

^^ Thank you! Looks like they didn't take Shooter's advice and submit ETM to Best R&B Traditional. Hopefully "Everything To Me" wins R&B Vocal.

No, they didn't and after looking at the submissions, she would've been a lock and that's what I wanted because I knew Un-Thinkable would rival her in R&B Vocal. SMH

Not only is she not an International seller. She is now virtually unknown outside of the US. Heck even here in Canada, where we devour pretty much all American popular culture, she is pretty well unknown now, which is upsetting because "The Boy Is Mine" went 3x platinum here back in its day. Anyway, I find it odd they didn't submit "Everything to Me" for Song of The Year. I thought it might actually have a chance there.

^^ I didn't even think about Song of the Year. I definitely think it had a chance there too. If Alicia loses R&B Song then I think Monica has a chance...or rather Jazmine/Missy and the other writers.

Monica won't get any major category noms (song or record of the year), it just isn't happening right now in her career. if she simply gets a single nomination i'll be happy. she was snubbed even for "so gone" and that was the biggest urban hit of the entire year...
and people really need to realize how little album sales mean anymore/the fact that 500,000 actually sold is really good for 2010. she's in the top 10 of Hip-hop/R&B with those numbers. that's against albums like Usher, eminem, and alicia, she's still top 10!
