Can't Raise a Man - RIAA Gold Certification

These are not bad numbers for a female R&B artist that has not had crossover success. The thing is that K. Michelle has a LOYAL fan base that consistently purchases her music compared to other R&B female artists who have had more mainstream exposure and their album sales do not equate. I'd rather have a dedicated fan base than one that is only dedicated on sites like TGJ but can't not when it really ocmes down to it.
