    Mary J. Blige’s ‘My Life II’ Goes Gold

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Charts,Mary J. Blige
    Mary J Blige My Life 2 The Journey Continues Act 1 cover TheLavalizard

    The cover of Mary J. Blige's 'My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)'.

    Almost 6 months since being released in the US, Mary J. Blige’s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ album has finally been certified gold by the RIAA. However, could this accomplishment really be regarded as  victory for the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul?

    ‘My Life II’ has sold less than 590K copies in the US since being released in November 2011. The record has thus far yielded only one Billboard Hot 100 hit - ‘Mr. Wrong (Ft. Drake)’, which peaked at #87 on the chart. Additionally, ‘My Life’ is ranked as Blige’s lowest-selling studio album in the US, following her previously released ‘Stronger with Each Tear’, which sold less than 920K copies since 2009.

    There is no word regarding if Blige will compete her plans to issue the followup to ‘My Life II’ in May. Yet, without any indication of the project’s lead single, it is highly probable that the record has been delayed. As we wait for news about the album, watch the video for ‘Mr. Wrong’ below:

      So unfortunate… inch by inch R&B artists records sales are slumping look at Monica… eventually R&B will fade and we will be stuck with Pop music. So sad… I hope things changes.

      We need to rescue our artists. When we buy albums we need to buy them in multiples. I can understand if you’re not really down for that particular artist, but if you’re running around claiming that artist as your “fav” then you need to rep for them. It’s up to us to ensure their success on the radio and in the sales department.

      I really would love to see her release a summer banger at the end of May and then lead up into a September album release. She could do a another single around August, but she really needs to focus on making material that people just NEED to have. The “My Life 2″ gimmick only took her so far. I love MJB so I wanna see her do well.

      @ThatBoyLuke kmsl!! She won’t live that down yet just yet.

      @ThatBoyLuke jfeiarmeiamraere oh no you didn’t! LMAO
      She should have released that song as a single instead! Album would have been platinum for sure! :P

      Hopefully her single “Why” takes off, then she could release her song featuring Beyonce. Those two songs are very good.
