by Geffen Records platinum-selling R&B star Keyshia Cole becomes the first female in the history of the 14-year old Nielsen BDS-based Urban chart to land three consecutive #1s as a lead artist as her hit single “Let It Go” climbs 3-1. “Let It Go,” which features Missy Elliott & Lil Kim, follows “I Should Have Cheated,” which topped the list in December 2005, and “Love,” from April 2006. In between “Love” and “Let It Go,” Cole was the featured vocalist on two hit #1 songs that weren’t on her platinum-selling disc: with Sean Paul, they sprung to #1 with “(When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me” and with Diddy they produced the #1 smash with the award-nominated “Last Night.” Cole has finished working on her second album, Just Like You.
