The album made #9 in the end, a pretty good result. Better than I would have ever expected.

Really good performances! Finally fallen in love with NE :wub: also, went to see her at heaven a couple of weeks back. Was amazing! Hot :heart:

What about the LSM performance lol that was amazing her breakdown in it. As far as SNL goes it really didn't help the singles on Itunes so hopefully it will help the album, great for #9 in the UK though.

dont see the big fuss over Never Ever. I think Lover's Thing is much better

I wasn't aware there was a 'big fuss' over Never Ever :heehee: It's as hated as it is loved!

I think its largely loved. As far as midtempo's go, I prefer I Dont Remember and Lover's Thing

I Don't Remember :wub: Such a gem, I really love the lyrics to it as well.

I think "Lover's Thing" and "Never Ever" are both quite dull.

 

"I Don't Remember" definitely wins out of the three for me. You can really feel the Ne-Yo influence on it, even before I knew he wrote it. Maybe they left his voice in on backing vocals? :heehee:

Fantasy Ride - 12,863 (Debut)

Goodies - 199,693 (Total)

Evolution - 53,259 (Total)

 

Evolution did well on the back of a #16 smash :o

Just under 13k for a #9 album is terrrrrrible. :arrr:

Agreed LOL. Hopefully it doesn't drop massively next week but I'm sure it will :(

Not great but if they play the single choices right this time it could go well.

Don't mean to sound negative :P really good for the album getting to 9 etc...but the reality is that it probably won't even match the sales of 'Evolution' imo. :(

Of course it will :heehee: There'll be a second single so there's no reason it shouldn't get Gold.

I can see the label giving up on the whole project tbh...Will try another single in US which will flop -_- then can just see them cancelling everything. :( Hope not obvs! Love the album :wub: And I've become ridiculously obsessed with 'NE' :blink: can't stop bloody listening to it! :mellow:

More promotion on Ellen today and she did a taping for Jay Leno yesterday, hopefully this will make next weeks sales not too bad, HD sales predict FR to chart at #3 in the US.

Only down to #14 in the UK mids. As long as it doesn't fall beyond #16 or so I think that's pretty respectable.

The second week drop in the US will be ma-hoosive... as in ASHANTI-style.

 

Still shocked she managed to outsell Ci, that's when you know you gotta worry :(

Ashanti had a much bigger fanbase than Ci, and they buy her albums too

Could be worse I guess :(.
