Pop/R&B powerhouse JoJo is finally making her triumphant return after suing out of her old label, Blackground, that inhumanely kept her hostage for over 6 years. At midnight she will make her major label debut, releasing three singles at once (hashtag tringle) under new label Atlantic: When Love Hurts, Save My Soul and Say Love. Will any eventually stick to become her 5th UK hit or is she washed up and forever forgotten at the ripe old age of 24?

The tringles: http://www.iamjojoofficial.com/

Previous hits:

2004:
Leave (Get Out) - #4
Baby It's You - #8

2006:
Too Little Too Late - #2

2007:
Anything - #21

Albums JoJo and The High Road both certified Gold

It's way too soon to tell I think - upon release they won't do much at all, it depends entirely on radio support. Stranger things have happened and this does seem to have a little bit of hype but sadly I think none will trouble the top 100.

She is washed up and forever forgotten.

Below top 200 probably? Not like she has a profile now

Below top 40 for sure, I didn't even know that Jojo was releasing music again. I used to love Leave when I was younger so I wish her all the best. I didn't know that she'd had so many problems with her record label too, I see Leave is non existent on Spotify and even difficult to find on Youtube.

about 6 yrs too late ~ none of these will trouble the top200~

She still has a fanbase in the US, and now a major label push. Which is why i'm interested to see if any US success would translate across the pond.


Her label essentially went bankrupt and couldn't release any music but refused to release her from her contract for years, which is why she sued out. They've spitefully taken her first album off Spotify, which is why it's hard to find.

She seems to be in the right circles and have maintained an internet following, but I'm not convinced this will go anywhere. Like Joseph said, stranger things have happened but she really needs to get radio support and I feel it's unlikely.

I'm kind of rooting for her to come through against all odds though, after everything she went through with the legal troubles w/her old label, I kind of feel she deserves to reign triumphant.
