Radio totally ignored her. Industry shows like the Grammys and VMAs didn't even share an ounce of air-time on her. So it's not quite a surprise that Amerie's new album "Love in War" sold a disappointing 12,500 copies in its first week. Then again, who's disappointed? Amerie says “It’s a very weird time. I didn’t worry about it ’cause I felt like it’s not about the first week,” in an interview with Rap-Up.com .
To her detriment, she's stayed out of the news, with no arrests, no boyfriend beat-ups or crotch shots. And it seems to have taken her career off the rails.
The singer seems to think the record label totally bungled the release of her album, although she's not really saying that. Quite. Per se.
“I knew when the album came out, it wasn’t coming out with a big hit ’cause we just went to radio with the ‘Pretty Brown’ (featuring Trey Songz and Lloyd Banks) record two weeks before the album came out, so we already knew it was going to be one of those over time things vs. a first week thing, which is cool.”
But what about the album's first single not even being ready for iTunes? “That was weird. I don’t know what happened with that."
Sorry, Amerie, we know what had happened was ...
