There isn't a tracks listing yet, and there is a section about unreferenced "rumored songs". Wikipedia isn't a blog, please remove those rumored songs. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 11:04, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here I am has been released in Japan with two bonus tracks (Markolicious (talk) 21:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

The album is still untitled!

Kelly has announced on the KTU Live Chat that there is no album title, no official release date (released in the fall), she's recorded a song with Pitbull and is still recording for the album.

So that means it might not be called 'Kelly Rowland'. Angelic-alyssa (talk) 12:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Such things could have been edited. PAPER MAG is a better source and one of several which says the album is indeed called Kelly Rowland'. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kelly Rowland herself has said that the album is still untitled. Shouldn't we be taking her word, because it's her album? Angelic-alyssa (talk) 10:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let me watch the interviews and do a bit of research. Mid-Fall could have still mean September 21 --Lil-unique1 (talk) 15:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From what i've seen by mid-fall she means moving the date back from September 21, due to still working with Pitbull and Tricky Stewart, among others. However it has been said several times and she hasn't said otherwise, that the album is self-titled. Candyo32 (talk) 16:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong again... She was just on the Today Show and even said it wasnt't titled yet and that she's reaching out to the fans for a title. 205.244.37.25 (talk) 14:30, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~I can't find sources for Rowland working with Pitbull other than unreliable blogs.~~Those in the KTU interview she says September 14, 2010 doesn't stand as the release date but she doesn't deny or confirm september 21, 2010 as release date. Her album is so far still called Kelly Rowland according to research. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok according to sources official to Rowland, the album is called Kelly Rowland (working title). It will only change if something or someone comes up with something different. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfC / Name of Kelly Rowland's third studio album

The Album's Release Date

There's two different versions of the album.The US version is coming out on July 26, 2011 and the International version comes out on July 22, 2011.

(talk) 6:34, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

This is reflected in the release history section of the article. I don't understand what your question or request is. And for all purposes a full international release is NOT yet scheduled for jUly 22, 2011 (just Germany). — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 23:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If June 22, 2011 is the release date for Germany (only) then why do you have it as the release date for the US version of the album. (Check out Kelly's website for the REAL release date)(talk) 9:06, 9 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.57.185 (talk)

The infobox and introduction are supposed to give a worldwide view. Hence the intro says 'from JULY 22' and the infobox says july 22, as this is the first date its available. We ALWAYS list the first date. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 01:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Sales

I updated the sales for this album, so I decided to put the source there. Hope it works.---LAUGH90 (talk) 00:16, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sales Update

It is stated that the album has sold 178k is the U.S. I am a major Kelly Rowland fan and keep up to the chart sales EVERYWEEK. Maybe they just haven't been updated, I'm not sure. But "Here I Am" to date has sold 263k is the U.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.136.128.49 (talk) 18:02, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article text states, "As of December 2011, the album has sold 178,000 copies in the US." So an update will be appreciated. PLEASE provide the source for the 263,000 copies and thank you.—Iknow23 (talk) 07:45, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
