@Deleon That is simply not true and just an excuse her stans say but dates and times do not lie. CAL was released on October 2, 2015. Promotion for the album started a whole year before with "Let Me Know" being released on October 7, 2014 as the album's lead single. Tamar did not fall ill on DWTS until November 11, 2015. In the R&B world, all urban artists know first week sales matter the most and Tamar was certainly prepared and promoting the heck out of CAL in anticipation of the first week sales. Tamar had 3 music videos (Let Me Know, If I Don't Have You, and Angels & Demons) released and her record label released all 3 songs to radio with additional single releases for "Catfish" (09/12/15) and "Circles" (09/25/15). That makes a grand total of 5 SINGLES (more than double the singles amount most R&B acts get). In addition to the videos and singles, Tamar performed "If I Don't Have You" at the BET's 15th Annual Awards 2015 on June 28, 2015 and at Mega Fest 2015 on August 21, 2015. Tamar also performed "King" on the The Real on September 14, 2015, "Circles" on The Wendy Williams Show on October 1, 2015, and on Good Morning America on September 2, 2015. Tamar also regularly plugged the album on her show Tamar & Vince, and on Braxton Family Values. She made additional promotional appearances on Ice & Coco, Ellen, RuPaul's Drag Race, Access Hollywood, and Being Mary Jane. All of my receipts come from IMDB.

Why did CAL flop? Despite all of the promotion, none of the singles charted on like "Love & War" and without a hit single an R&B album usually gets pushed back (which it did) until a the label gets a single to chart. CAL was released without a hit song and her label was stupid for not including Let Me Know on the album since it was the best liked single out of the 5 singles released.
