I agree with eric. Janet Jackson did 116,000 first week with Unbreakable. Toni should have been able to pull 50K easy first week sales after being gone so long but 8 tracks is a turnoff to non-hardcore fans. She has to attract casual fans and casual r&b music consumers by making the album enticing. When people see just 8 tracks it is a turnoff, especially when it is about $15 bucks after taxes. I also think her decision to use Deadwood as the 1st single was a bad decision. That is the least memorable track on the whole album and her 2nd single came out too late to be helpful in promoting the album. I remember Janet made several appearances before her album came out. Toni should have done the same. Now I just look forward to the tour which starts in May she said so I can't wait to buy tickets.
