Told You So is the second album by American R&B singer Sparkle.^[2][3] It was released on October 24, 2000, by Motown.

Told You So peaked at number 121 on the Billboard 200 and number 31 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.^[4][5] The album's lead single, "It's a Fact", reached number 62 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

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]
