NEW YORK (AP) — Ne-Yo's first three albums were Grammy Award-nominated, platinum successes. His latest effort, "Libra Scale," could still be up for a Grammy next year, but it's miles away from reaching platinum status.

Since its November release, the disc has sold only 277,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which tracks music sales. The CD's singles — "Beautiful Monster," ''Champagne Life" and "One In a Million" — failed to crack the Top 40.

* I'm putting the blame on the video shows.
Centric Hits is fine but falls short in promoting R&B.
Centric could revamp Rap City

BET to should re-introduce video shows such as BET Now & BET Late(w/out those nuisance promo banners and off keyed remarks/comments from internet users).
MTV a few years ago had their Jamz network(MTV Jamz) and it worked.
I left BET at that time and watched MTV Jamz.
MTV should of continued it.
However MTV and 106 N Park can't do it alone in raising sales.
BET should again utilize Centric Hits,eliminating those older (90s)videos and replacing them with Rap and introducing younger artists.

Ne-Yo is a fine,talented actor/R&B artist.
This shouldn't happen.
I guess someday BET will wake up and learn from the Video Vibration format. *
