I don't think the Bill Cosby thing had anything to do with it. The roll out for this album just hasn't generated any buzz and while I like "fools gold" it doesn't have the wow factor of a song like "golden" or "hate on me" to lead off a album.

This album is terrible. I listened to it on Spotify and only mildly enjoyed "Lighthouse". What happened to her? Her first three albums are classics.

I listened to this on Spotify and I don't really care for it aside from a couple songs.

I like the album. It's not her best material, but she gives enough goodies like Lighthouse, Beautiful Love, Can't Wait, Prepared, Fools Gold, and Say Thank You. The interludes are nice too.

Wild Cookie Prepared Can't Wait Lighthouse Fool's Gold Closure You Don't Know Pause [Interlude] Cruisin'
Her first two albums are still her best work to me but this album is actually on par with her last three for me meaning I don't love it but I like it and the songs that I like, I really like.

Congrats to Jill. Set to have her second No.1 album. Possibly the album could move 55K.

Used an Amazon gift card to buy this (along with Lianne La Havas and Back to Back by Drake, LOL) and so far, really good. I haven't purchased or even listened to a Jill Scott album since Words and Sounds Vol 3 but wow, Lighthouse is PERFECT.

Jahraymecofasola is officially my favorite song of hers. Absolutely GORGEOUS. If there is any justice in the world, this album will be nominated for Grammys for this song alone LOL. Brought me to tears.
Back Together is also stunning. Those notes she hits. Wow.

"Can't Wait" and "Closure" are both Top 50 at Urban AC along with the two singles.

I'm happy she obtained a #1 album, awesome. I have yet to hear hear the album, any stand out tracks? "Can't Wait", "Lighthouse", "Cruisin", "Beautiful Love", "Willing (Interlude)", "Pause (Interlude)", "Fool's Gold" Honestly, I think it is an excellent album even for the tracks that aren't my favorites, I enjoy them. This one is becoming my second favorite album this year after Ms. Sullivan.

Coming To You 7. Prepared 8. Cruisin In that order, those are my favorites but overall, the album is very nice.

#1 with 57k (61k SPS) per HITS. Congrats to her! I was surprised (and delighted) to see this on Twitter last night. It's crazy at the stat that there hasn't been a female R&B leading the chart since Beyoncé LAST year.

She should at least have gotten an R&B Performance or Traditional nod. I can see how the album didn't get nominated, though.
