@YEABEY, her first gospel album didn’t “flop”. Itr was actually THE biggest gospel album of 2002…it just wasn’t promoted – nor its single “Heard A Word” – on mainstream like it easily could have been. Songs like “Heard A Word” were perfect for Urban Adult Contemporary while the Mary Mary feature “So Glad” could have easily had the sort of crossover success that “Shackles (Praise You)” had on Urban radio and mainstream r&b and pop charts.

IMO IF an album doesn't make a mark on the billboard charts...it underperformed ( i see that you don't like the word FLOP....so i went with something less harsh)
