Just hours after the release of her sophomore album, ‘Count On My Love’, Tessanne Chin is already dominating iTunes charts, having peaked at number six so far.

The songbird, who walked away as the winner of The Voice 2013, under the tutelage of coach Adam Levine, told THE STAR that while she welcomes the support of her fans, it was a bit unexpected.

“I didn’t expect it, not at all. I hoped for it and dreamed of it, but I didn’t realise how much support I would actually get. I’m grateful, happy and tremendously blessed,” Chin said.

massive achievement

In addition to being in the overall top 10 list on iTunes, Count On My Love also peaked at number three on the iTunes Pop chart.

Many Jamaican fans also took to social media to post images of the newly purchased album and to congratulate the artiste on her massive achievement.

“It makes me feel very proud. It’s great to know that my people support me, and not just Jamaicans, but fans all over the world. People in Canada, England, all over. It means the world to me. It’s priceless. It’s very overwhelming and definitely something I will treasure,” she added.

Though still on her Voice Tour, Tessanne is already gearing up for her headlining performance at this year’s Reggae Sumfest.

“The Voice Tour has been going well. It’s been wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones and to see the love and support of the fans. I’m also really looking forward to Sumfest this year. I’ll be performing tracks from this album for the first time. It’s going to be like an album release, I’m really looking forward to that,” she said.

In the meantime, Chin is in the process of choosing her next single and is also gearing up for the Count On My Love media tour.
