AllMusic |     [1] |
Told You So was a commercial disappointment, only making it to 121 on the Billboard 200 and 31 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[4][5] The album's lead single, "It's a Fact", was also a disappointment, only making it to 62 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.
Production
Coming off her successful debut for Interscope, Sparkle began to have creative differences with her former mentor and the album's producer, R. Kelly.[6] The conflict resulted in Sparkle eventually being released from her contract and signing with Motown.[2] Told You So was produced by Steve "Stone" Huff.[7]
Critical reception
The Morning Call wrote: "For the most part, Told You So is hardly remarkable, the unintentionally ridiculous handwringing on 'The Ghetto' nothwithstanding, and Sparkle seems destined to fade soon enough."[7]
