I can not truly surprised because down loads are a definite factor. but I can say I am truly disapointed I downloaded it myyself. I have and do love brand and her music sinse the begining and in recognition of that fact I am going to purchase a hard copy as well. I feel brandy has always been underated for some reason. never say never was of my favorite albums by any artist. I have been listening to her sinse I wanna be down, and I truly hope she does continue. I think this is a good album as well. Bravo Brandy.

Yeah I didn’t think ‘put it down’ was great and having Chris Brown on it was pointless.I think it’s all about timing,what artist releases a single four months before the record comes out?I could understand it if ‘wildest dreams’ was then OFFICIALLY released with a video to coincide with the release of the album but it wasn’t.’put it down’ has been spinning for four months now and people are bored with it.the important single is always the one released with the album but it seems she’s given ‘put it down’ too much promotion and ‘wildest dreams’ nothing.if I wasn’t a brandy fan,just through media sights and radio etc I would have no idea ‘wildest dreams’ even existed.I feel strongly about this,the album and her hard work deserves more but I think labels concentrate on the artists that churn out radio friendly albums every year instead of people with real artistic integrity.I’ll say it again…bad single choice and bad time management of the whole project.

Yes, having sales less that “Human” surprised me too. And I was not a fan of “Put It Down” either. But on a more positive note the single is now #1 on Urban radio, go figure! Yes, “Wildest Dreams” is a better single. Hopefully things will turn around on a more positive note for the album’s overall success.

Yes, I agree. The first week sales are not impressive but I think the album will perform well overall. I’m rooting for her too.

I am surprised considering the promotion she has given the album in its first week of release,but I am more surprised it has performed less than ‘human’ which received little to no promotion and had a very weak first single.I think one of the problems lies with ‘put it down’ being released so long ago. I’m in the UK and I could download put it down from May 8th,but the album didn’t arrive until October15th????the hype of ‘put it down’ was immense at first but in four months it had gone.yet on all her appearances she decided to mainly perform ‘put it down’. I think she should have concentrated on ‘wildest dreams’ for the last month in the run up to the album,released a video say the week before album release and then drop the album in the heat of ‘wildest dreams’ either that or she should have waited to release ‘put it down’ then release the album while everyone was hyped about the first single. Bad choices have resulted in this, it’s not down to the album,the albums great it’s bad management e.g. song choices and time frames.

im not surprised because people dont buy music these days as much as they used to even the higher selling artists arent selling as much….i do think the album will continue to do well it’s a solid album and has the potential to do well as long as she continues to promote the album and she needs to do a tour….If she does a tour it’ll do well….i’m rooting for her she’a GREAT…..
