Keyshia Cole's latest studio album "A Different Me" has sold more than 322,000 copies in its first week on sale, marking her best week sales as a solo artist. The effort debut at number two on Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart.

In working on her third major studio effort, Keyshia claims to have explored her sexy side with "more up-tempo and lighter" jams. She says, "I'm moving forward and growing. This time, I wrote more about other people's situations other than my own, and I'm realizing things aren't always so bad."

"I haven't always felt sexy in my life, and I've never wanted to base my career on physical appearance and being sexy," she explains more. "I've worked hard to establish myself as a legitimate singer-songwriter. But now I'm here, and hopefully it's not a dead-end street."

Keyshia Cole has dropped "A Different Me" since December 16 in the U.S. She collaborates with Nas on "Oh Oh, Yeah Yeah" and Tupac Shakur on "Playa Cardz Right".

Back on Billboard Hot 200, Jamie Foxx's "Intuition" sits at number three with 265,000 units sold. Meanwhile, Britney Spears' sixth studio effort "Circus" slips from number two to number four with a 2% sale decrease, garnering another 196,000 copies sold.

In my earlier post I should have typed "sales" instead of "sells". By the way, her BET show is the highest rated show in the history of BET. She deserve much love and respect for being diligent and not giving up in spite of all of the obstacles she faced. Go Keyshia!!!

Keyshia has talent and deserves her record sells. Playa Cardz Right is only one single. She has several on her CD that should do well. CONGRATULATIONS KEYSHIA, YOU DESERVE ALL YOUR SUCCESS!!!

Im really suprised she sold 300k copies bc I feel Playa Cardz Right is a weak lead single. But congrats 2 her. I guess her BET show is all the promo she needs.
