#Fact:

Besides Alicia, out of all of Arista/JRecords female artists, it's whitney and carrie underwood who moves units. Whitney's i look to you sold 980k in us and is platinum and nearly 3mil WW

Carrie underwood doesn't seel much overseas but her latest cd is around 2.5mil

Monica 'still standing' is less than 650k and probably less than 50k WW

Jazmine Sullivan's cd flopped- under 160k sold
Fantasia's cd sold around 390k

Alicis is probably around 2.7-8mil WW

J hud, they should have done the oprah promo the week of release or 2nd week, it's too soon to do it 6wks out
