About this product:

Shontelligence is the debut studio album of Barbadian R&B singer Shontelle. It was released on November 18, 2008. However due to low sales, the album was re-released, featuring the new single Stuck With Each Other, on March 10, 2009. Speaking to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning 'Blues & Soul' in February 2009, Shontelle described how the album title first came about: "We were actually hanging out in the studio, kinda waiting for things to bubble up - you know, the guys there tend to get a bit silly sometimes with their sense of humour. So one guy somehow comes up with this bright idea - 'Hey Shontelle! Let's play a word-game with your name today! Whoever can come up with the most words using your name gets free lunch!'! So they're like 'Shontel-evator', 'Shontel-evision', 'Shontel-icopter'... Then my engineer, Al, suddenly turns round and says 'Yeah, that's some real Shontelligence there!'... And straightaway everyone in the studio turned around at the same time, and were like 'That has to be your album title!'" The album was released on November 18, 2008 and reportedly sold 1,000 records in its first day of release. The album sold 4,850 records in its first week, and debuted at #115 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell 25,000 records by February, 2009. Due to low sales SRC chose to re-release the album only 4 months later on March 10, 2009. The re-release did not sell very well either. Incorporating sales of the original version and the re-issue of the album, as of July, 2009, the record has sold 50,000 copies in the US and 10,000 copies in the UK.
