It's #1 R&B and #22 overall on iTunes the 1st day out, so it doesn't look like it's flopping at all. Even though I can say it's HOT after listening to it, I realize it very well could have, given SWV's low profile compared to more famous soul artists these days. But they actually have been doing TV appearances and performances to promote it.

Plus a lot of fans from the '90s have been anticipating their comeback and are now 30- and 40-somethings are probably not as inclined to get music via file-sharing as younger people. The older fan base has more disposable income too. So I think the album will do quite well, relatively of course given the overall decline in record sales in recent years.

I HOPE it does well too. I'm doing my part by buying the CD for myself and a copy for a relative as a gift.
