"Let It Burn" is having success on Urban AC at least!

This is still AOTY for me. I hope she gets some love at the Grammys.

So true though. This and Teyana Taylor were the two pleasant surprises dropped on me in R&B recently.

This has definitely become my favorite album of hers.

I love her version of "Baltimore" on the Nina Simone tribute album. I think I enjoy it more than Nina's version...

It's just hard to make out what she's saying.
By the way, where is this Nina tribute album being discussed? I need to throw my immense acclaim at Lauryn's version of "Wild is the Wind."

I guess her sales are still on par with her second album (which did a little over 200K). Can't call it a success, but I see her heading toward 150K which isn't too bad due to how sales are right now

Any R&B album selling 6 figures in 2015 is a success to me.

Those numbers are great to me, especially since she did not debut with more than 35k right? She's been selling consistently all year long. It'd be great if Brand New or HoodLove got a chance on Urban.

The chances are very low but would love for her to get a performance slot. She gets nominations thrown at her every time.

The Weeknd will pose the biggest threat. Really? I think D'Angelo is by far the biggest threat for album and song. I think she has a great shot at Traditional R&B performance though.

She deserves a win. Any of these will do.
I feel like R&B needs this win for her.

Ooh, I'm glad she got some GRAMMY love, and renewed interest in her album. Hope she does get another single after all!

Based on her contributions to Mary's latest, I need a new album from her right now.
