Keyshia Cole's 'A Different Me' No 2 Top-Selling CD In The USA

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Interscope Records) - We are pleased to announce that R&B recording star and four-time Grammy award nominated singer/songwriter KEYSHIA COLE's third CD A Different Me debuts at No 2 on Billboard's "Top 200" chart selling more than 322 thousand units its first week of release, missing the top spot by a little over 7k units. Cole's third release is the follow-up to her multi-platinum-selling Just Like You which debuted at No 2 in 2007. Just Like You spawned three (3) No 1 singles: "Heaven Sent," "I Remember," and "Let It Go."

Cole, currently on the "I Am Music" tour with Lil' Wayne, T. Pain, Gym Class Heroes, and Kerri Hilson, is enjoying great reviews on her performance: The Miami Herald said "Cole has a powerful voice and a dynamic presence," and the San Francisco Chronicle states that "the glamourous 27-year old vocalist...sang in powerful mezzo tones and executed imaginatively choreographed moves."

KEYSHIA COLE is the definitive soul singer to emerge in this decade, and she is in good company. Over the past seven decades, precious few R & B females have touched the hearts of America. From Billie Holiday to Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, and Mary J. Blige - Keyshia possesses the same innate quality of telling the truth through song like her predecessors. Her pain becomes your pain, her joy, your joy.

Keyshia Cole has enjoyed the success of having seven (7) No 1 hit songs and several prestigious ASCAP awards amongst others under her belt. Both of her CD releases, The Way It Is and Just Like You have sold platinum-plus and she has enjoyed having conceived the No 1 program in BET history, her reality show, The Way It Is, which is currently enjoying its third season of top ratings at BET. Be sure to tune in every Tuesday at 10PM. Keyshia is the new force in R&B music outselling all R&B female artists that entered the industry around the same time.
