I want to like this project, but I have not been able to get into it. I was excited about the project, even though I was never a SWV fan. Their single, Co-Sign is the hottest song on their project, and they should have left some of the samples/remakes alone. I hope they are able to have decent sales.

Their remakes were stellar to me. With the samples at least they were able to sample their own sound/style on a few of the songs.
I really want "Do Ya" for the 2nd single nice grove. I wasn't feeling it at first but it grew on me in a big way lol.

I think it's a very solid album -- especially for a reunion/comeback album after 15 years.

Hits doesn't cover every indie artist, thats why there is no projection for them. It's highly unlikely the album scanned above 15k, so that's not the reason. Regardless if it scanned above 15k or not, they simply just do not track every indie label's artist.

I saw the ladies last night in ATL for their album release party. Good time! I spoke with them briefly and even got a picture with Taj. :)

I'd be happy with 10K. Does anyone know if the R&B outlets tend to report early or late?

It looks like they came close to that 15k mark afterall. Thats really good for barely any promo. Now, if they could get some promo some how that would be great. The album is really good.

Anything over 10k for them is excellent. #24 is the same position Release Some Tension peaked at in 1997. It's About Time peaked at #8 and New Beginning peaked at #9. It will be interesting to see where this debuts on the R&B chart. Their previous 3 regular studio albums all peaked Top 5.

Decent album, nice old school type vibe, but I HATE Do Ya. All the guests are people I have never heard of and probably never will again. There's really only 2 songs I don't like and the other one (I can't remember the name) is towards the end and WAY too gospel sounding for me, but all in all, I like it.

Over 14k is good for no promo and a single that was just a top 10 at Urban Adult

^ Yea, I'm pleased with the numbers.
I'd love to see them get some promo/exposure. They're going to have to do more radio station spots, etc.

Well they did Wendy Williams....there are not many platforms for adult R&B artists these days. Did they do 106 and Park?

They don't have the machine behind them to do the talk show circuit.

From what I'm being told, the second single may be switched to either Do Ya or Show Out.

Very well done for an indie release rather than the usual debut week and then off-the-chart runs those releases normally get.
