[...] I warned you. Not only they messed up LeToya’s promotion but they are fucking up with the distribution as well. We’re receiving lots of tweets from people complaining about the album’s availability. Lots of stores are sold out. “Sold out” HUUMM Sounds like a good thing right? Not when the album is expected to sell only 25k. (Call me in denial I still don’t believe that number) We understand that Capitol just didn’t bother shipping enough copies. Our sources inform us that some locations received only 20 copies of “Lady Love” while these same stores got 500 of Colbie Calait. WTF right?! So how you gone sell more if people can’t buy the product? (If you come accross a store that is sold out, get at us thru the contact form on the lower right side of this site so we can make sure they are re-stocked) [...]

It was in the 20K’s….it wasn’t exactly 20K his first week. That is what I am saying this promo is not good….I mean she is getting the . buzz & she is doing the right thing by taking calls from fans. Seriously, I KNOW that CAPITOL can do SO MUCH BETTER with this PROMO. To me they should have this promo in OVERDRIVE right about now to make these people go out & buy this album. Hopefully, they have all types of tricks to pull within the next week or so. I believe they still have some time 2 do some big things tho….they need to hurry tho.

I just hope they don’t do to “Regret” what they did to “Obvious.”

EVERYBODY loved “Obvious.” I was living in my hometown back then, you could not go 30 minutes or an hour without the radio playing that song, and they didn’t ever play sh*t!

To this day I am still enraged that “Obvious” was not pushed as a single with a video and promo. I can’t even listen to the song because I get so angry thinking about what could’ve been.

“Obvious” would have been that single that solidified Toya as an incredible artist, and not the girl that used to be in DC. That song would’ve ended all this lack of promotion and failure to recognize greatness.

Everyone who has Twitter needs to get on @CapitolRecords asses and let them know we demand some more LeToya Promo!!!……. Irish already chewed out EMI on Twitter , but we honestly need to get our voices heard…..

Being that it’s close to the album release……. LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!

OH……. And “SAG” would be a Top 10 by now if it was marketed to it’s full potential (and if it had a better video) but either way, it’s a hot song, and I hope the promo on it picks up!!!

I agree with richardba!!!!

We were told there were big things planned for this era, yet we’ve seen nothing major?!?

I am glad they gave her a second single quicker than the 1st era but thats really it…

I mean what happen to the BET series that was in the works?
I mean where is all the promo on capitals part?
As fans we can only do so much…

I think they do (Captiol) owe us the fans…the effort to promote her to the fullest extent to the masses. They have the means, they should just do it. If somone is boycotting LeToya it is someone on her own label. I don’t think they are putting in enough effort into her project. She should have been on TV already and getting ready for other appearances in the upcoming weeks. What I don’t want is for them to “step it up” the week before the release. That is B.S. I want her to debut strong and remain strong. Did you know Solange’s album was #25 last week on the R&B charts? After 1 whole year! I want Toya’s album to be like that but with STRONGER numbers But still…to me, they are not trying hard enought. LeToya is doing her part, and she can only do so much. She is only one person. She can only travel to places one day at a time and promote. Hopefully where she does visit will have it in mind to buy the album. I am scared that they made a video for SAG now cause if she has 2 videos for this album already..they won’t push for at least 2 or 3 more videos for this album. They betta get in!

I mean I feel like they do sort of owe us something, I mean we are the ones who by the records and go through hell requesting and promoting her.

Really LeToya nor Capitol really owe us anything. We support LT because we love her music…with that said we just need to do our best to support her.

Exactly….they may not notice but they owe it the fans who have PATIENTLY WAITED for 3 YEEARRRS for her to come out with another ALBUM only for them to seemingly f*ck HER OVER!!! Are you kidding me?? Their asses need to be exposed and they need to GET RIGHT!! Because LeToya has been through some HARD times and deserves eons better. She seriously needs to become their priority in the Urban division and get these singles heard and caught on @ radio by August 25th or ELSE! Seriously Capitol is gonna have to pull a couple all nighters to make this sh*t work.

WOW, I have to some what agree with some of the stuff Richard said.
I just wish we could get an explanation on what’s going on…

Like the mixtape and the rest of the promo.

Personally I feel like this era started off wrong with them releasing NA and then not promoting it at all…IF you’re going 2 release something like that, at least promote it. Then they had a chance to promote SAG, and this song is horribly promoted so far, and I can think of many ways they could’ve promoted this, I mean we had bootleg promo back in the day, she had flyers everywhere, mixtapes out, even a “LeToya” promo truck….NONE of that this era. LOL.
