happy for Jill, i hope she goes gold
damn i just see that kay perry has her 4th and 5th release top 10 and where is Beyonce! Shame she has 2 singles out and none are anywhere north of top 20
FYI It’s not Jill’s 1st #1 album & why is Christina Aguilera’s name not in that #8 spot because she is on the hot 100 chart with Moves Like Jagger which debut @ number 8.
@TinaSouthAfrica this IS Jill’s first #1! Her highest charting album before this one was Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol. 2 which was #3.
Jill came onto Twitter and said herself that this is not her first #1 album.
i like how this is a post about Jill Scott and yet some Katy Perry stan wants to talk about her…no one cares about her non singing ass. Jill provides REAL music…anyways, i’m happy for Jill, i’ve always loved her music. I wish her alot of success with this album
