Brown Sista

Congratulations goes out to former DC3 member, Michelle Williams, who just scored her first solo #1 club hit. Michelle’s most recent single, The Greatest, just vaulted to the top of the charts on Billboard and is the second single from Michelle’s Unexpected CD to go #1 on the music charts. The singer’s first single, We Break The Dawn also went to #1 on the dance radio chart. Michelle recently spoke to Corduroy Magazine about her hopes and aspirations for her solo career and said: “My goal isn’t to sell-out stadiums or be on the cover of magazines anymore”. “My dream path is just to get that loyal fan base. I don’t care if it’s a hundred million or a hundred thousand. I’d rather play an underground club where people all know your songs than perform for audiences who have no idea who you are.”

Another day, another awards show to report about. The 2008 World Music Awards were held earlier this evening in Monte-Carlo and lots of Brown Sistas were on hand to represent. While Michelle Williams was spotted walking the red carpet and co- hosting the event, acts like Estelle, Alicia Keys, Solange and Beyonce were given the opportunity to rock the stage- and rock it they did. Beyonce opened the show with her hit Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) and from there things just got better. Estelle, who is truly an international star, performed a medley of her hits and also walked away with the award for Best New R n’ B Act. Alicia Keys and Solange also performed and Alicia walked away with the award for Best R n’ B Artist.

Last week we posted a preview of Michelle Williams‘ latest video, The Greatest, and now we have the full length video with share with you as well. Music World Entertainment says it is fully behind Michelle’s new album, despite poor first week sales. Let’s hope The Greatest helps Michelle turn things around. Personally, I like the song and the video.

Singers Michelle Williams and Ciara are both facing hard times on music charts this week. Hits Daily Double have come out with their official numbers for Michelle’s first week album sales and they are not very good. HDD estimates Michelle’s Unexpected album moved about 14,000 copies in it’s first seven days and should debut way outside the top 10 but inside the top 40. Clearly not the news the singer was expecting and very sad because her album is actually quite good and worth a listen to for those of you who haven’t checked it out yet.

Six years after releasing her first solo album, Michelle Williams is finally back with her sophomore effort, “Unexpected”. Michelle’s new opus hit record store shelves earlier this week. Unfortunately, Hits Daily Double, has not posted their one day sales report which would have given us a glimpse into where Michelle’s album would have possibly landed on the charts next week. This is news I know everyone is excited to hear seeing as how Michelle’s entire album leaked to the net almost a month ago. Few people seem to think Michelle’s album will go top 10, but luckily for the singer, her record label seems to be sticking by the project. “The Greatest”- the second single from Unexpected is about to be sent to radio stations and a video has been shot as well.

It seems the buzz surrounding Michelle Williams’ sophomore CD has slowly faded over the last few weeks. First the singer had her album’s release date pushed back and then the entire album leaked to net, causing Michelle to take to her video blog and voice her displeasure with her record label. Since then Michelle has done random performances here and there but it seems the release of Solange’s new album overshadowed all news about Michelle. Now comes word that Beyonce will be releasing not one, but two new singles on the day Michelle’s album is finally due to drop- and I’m sure this will spell even more bad news for the singer.

Two thirds of Destiny’s Child plus one sister, were back together again as Beyonce and Mama Tina showed up to the J&R Music Festival to show their support for Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles, who were both making their solo debuts at the event. Held in City Hall Park, the festival attracted a large crowd of about 5,000 people, who also showed up to see Terrence Howard and festival veteran, Lyfe Jennings, perform as well. Beyonce kept a low profile as her sister and fellow bandmate rocked the New York City crowd and most of the financial district. Anyone who has been to this festival knows the coolest place to watch is actually from the office buildings windows, which are usually crowded with people sneaking away from their cubicles to get a glance at the musicians performing.
