So if there are 3 songs that are released before the album drops and they all flop, then the album is released and 4 other songs are released and are hits, that means there were 7 singles released off that album? When Im sure some of the first flops wouldnt even be included on the album?
You mention Cam'ron...didn't he release like 3 videos before "Girls" even surfaced? Remember "Lord You Know" ft. Jaheim and "Get 'Em Girls"...? So um, according to this logic, those were the 1st two singles off the Purple Haze album? I agree that "Girls" was Cam'ron's first single and "Down and Out" was the second, even though that really got no promo, but whatever, it was played on the radio and received exposure. "Lord You Know" was NOT the 1st single off Purple Haze. It was intended to be the 1st single yes, but it flopped.
I consider "singles" to be songs/videos released AFTER the album has been released, or contributing to the support of an album. Hence, they are released in "support" of the album. A song can't support an album when there is no album to support.
That's just the way I see it.

A song can't support an album when there is no album to support. And an album can't come out when all the attempts to support it before it's release are failures. Like Bluenote said, ICCM can definitely be considered a single. You don't shoot videos for hype tracks... And as far as television goes, she was on Soul Train and Showtime at the Apollo promoting the album when that single was out. She was on the Usher and Kanye tour promoting the album. She's been on several small venue tours promoting the album. She was featured several magazines as being one of the next big things. None of that helped the single, and it flopped, forcing her to push the album back.

I hope she gets some more exposure. I think that her album will get top 20 atleast because she does have a solid fanbase. It may be an underground fanbase, but its still a fanbase.
#12 on our local top 40.

why won't keyshia just disappear...I was a fan of hers in the beginning but her album is nothing but a jumbled mix of songs that have already been released and or leaked. I can't see her album doing too well on the charts at all

This was HOT when it first came out but it did nothing, and now it's kinda just played out.

I like this song.....She have a really good voice........She can sing.....but too bad people are sleeping on this....She should do a remix with a famous rapper or something an release it..........it might help the single and give her more exposure

No matter what Keyshia does no one wants to give her the time of day. "I Changed My Mind" went to #2 on our local weekend top 40 a while back, they played "Situations" and that went to #6 after the success ICMM had here. Now IJWITBO is seeking higher positions here. Its one of the more played songs here but like I said, no one wants to give Keyshia the time of day.
It sucks too cause her songs are better than half the hussies out right now.
