Chris' album is good. I actually listened all the way through and I couldn't do that with his last album so to me that's a plus. Hit single or not. He does have a lot more pop on this one but I'm not sure what you guys expect. Chris loves pop. He abandoned it a little on X but he wanted to incorporate it a lot more on this album. I don't see anything wrong with that. Especially because I love the R&B joints on there. Good job Chris.

As for Monica, as a whole, I am not a fan of the album. Crazy because when I was listening to it I felt like it was all over the place. In a few comments above I see someone posted a video where she explained that she wanted this album to be diverse. Boy can you tell! lol She has a few standout tracks: I Know, Deep, Alone In Your Heart, & Anchor. Love all of them. The Timbaland tracks I hate lol But I commend her for trying something new. Not a lot of people are willing to take a risk today so I honestly applaud her for that in itself. I'd give it a 2/5 TBH. Monica has never made a full body of work that i've enjoyed besides 'The Boy Is Mine'.

Lastly, I wish people would stop making a mock of R&B artists when they don't sell good. It is just the sign of the times. No one is selling well unless your name is Adele, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc. Even Coldplay's last album did pretty dismal compared to all of their other albums. Albums just are not selling like they used to. I feel like people should just concentrate on the music. It's like the first thing people care about before they even listen to an album is how well it does. Like everyone is plotting on the downfall of the artist. That's terrible. A lot of albums are getting looked over just because they aren't selling well.
