Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin released her first album titled "Count on My Love" after winning the NBC reality TV singing competition "The Voice" Season 5 on Dec 2013. The near-official sales number for the 28-year-old recording artist came in and it is reportedly not looking good.

According to the Headline Planet report, the sales number on Tessanne Chin's album came from the weekly sales report of Hits Daily Double which generally reports sales number slightly different from Billboard/Nielsen SoundScan data. The weekly sales report revealed that "Count on My Love" debuted with about 6,568 weekly sales sum.

The report further noted that Tessanne Chin's post-show album does not have a strong opening compared to "The Voice" Season 3 winner Cassadee Pope and Season 4 winner Danielle Bradbery who had introductory album week sales of 43,000 and 41,000 respectively. The album's label Republic is considered the cause of the weak sales number for "The Voice" Season 5 winner due to wilted efforts in marketing, press or promotional platforms.

Tessanne Chin is currently on the first nationwide tour of "The Voice" with the other contestants as they travel to different cities across America to perform with their impressive vocals. The Jamaican singer had the time to discuss her music, new album, "The Voice" tour and coach Adam Levine in the Examiner interview.

When asked what was it like for her to be in the studio and making her own album, Tessanne Chin admitted that it was a wonderful process and experience because she was able to work with amazing people like Diane Warren, Toby Gad, Claude Kelly, Supa Dups, Ray Marshall and Chuck Harmony.

"They gave me a chance, which I really, really til this day hold very dear to me because anyone could have just given me a song and say hey sing this, but they took the time to sit with me, and talk to me, and give me an opportunity to write as well," Chin shared.

The music artist further revealed that she does not want her music to be just one genre and her reggae roots will always come out so the songs on her album ended up being diverse. "I hate being put in a box and I hate being told I can only do one thing. Even if I never do all reggae it has to come out in some way because that's who I am. I think a part of being successful or trying to be successful is staying true to who you are. Be genuine. And I think that's when people really connect," Chin explained.

As for her former "The Voice" coach Adam Levine, Tessane Chin admitted that she still keeps in touch with the Maroon 5 front man. "We do exchange emails every now and then. When I went back on "The Voice" I got a chance to show him my album and he showed me some of his amazing songs, so it's nice to kind of touch base once in a while," the former member of Team Adam shared.

"The Voice" tour is going well for Tessanne Chin because she enjoys the company of the contestants from the different seasons. The Jamaican singer described them to be easy going, friendly as well as wonderful and being with them on tour brings back the good memories that she had during her time on "The Voice" Season 5.
