Her second album released on July 1, 2003 by Murder Inc. and Island Def Jam. Co-produced with Irv Gotti and Chink Santana. The album debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 326,000 units and #1 at R&B/Hip Hop chart. It also reached the top ten in Canada, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter II was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in August 2003 and gained gold status in Japan and the United Kingdom. Not many people liked this album, but I actually enjoyed and loved all the songs. Of course, my main faves are Rock With U, Rain On Me, Breakup to Makeup, and I Found Lovin'. Love that most of the songs pay tribute to soul music from the 70s. I would probably place this album 4th place after The Declaration, Concrete Rose, and Ashanti, as far as rankings go.
"Rock wit U (Awww Baby)" #2 Hot 100, #6 Dance Club Songs, #4 Dance singles sales, #4 R&B/Hip Hop, #5 Mainstream Top 40, #2 Rhythmic
"Rain On Me" #7 Hot 100, #27 Dance Singles Sales, #2 R&B/Hip Hop, #11 Rhythmic
"Breakup 2 Makeup" #76 R&B/Hip Hop

The overload of skits and interludes is too much imo, especially with the three of the first four tracks being skits. I can't say I remember most of the album tracks.
"Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)" is a great single, though.

This was by far her worst album. I like most of her music, but this was a dud. The first single was cute I guess but so repetitive. βRain On Meβ was ok, but not a crossover hit. Her AMA performance was cute. She was trying it and then She and Beyonce were trying to out do each other. Lol
