She had a streetwise edge over the vast majority of her contemporary R&B peers, that she had more in common with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Monica, and Jaheim than with Ciara, Beyoncé, and Mario. The Way It Is missed the top of the R&B/hip-hop chart by only one position, peaked at number six on the Billboard 200, and spawned two more big singles, "I Should Have Cheated" and "Love," emotional outpourings that went Top Ten R&B/hip-hop and became Top 40 hits. The Way It Is and "Love" eventually earned platinum certifications from the RIAA. Cole made memorable appearances on Diddy's Press Play ("Last Night") and R. Kelly's Double Up ("Best Friend") before she offered the follow-up, Just Like You, in September 2007. Released through Geffen, where she joined Ron Fair, Just Like You was another smash, topping the R&B/hip-hop chart and entering the Billboard 200 at number two. Its release coincided with a BET reality series of the same name. The album and two of its four major singles, specifically the early-'80s throwback Missy Elliott and Cainon Lamb collaboration "Let It Go" (number one R&B/hip-hop, number seven pop) and the ballad "Heaven Sent" (number one R&B/hip-hop, number 28 pop), were nominated for a combined total of four Grammy Awards, all in the R&B field. In December 2008, just after season two of Cole's BET show began, Cole issued her third album, the relatively upbeat and pop-oriented A Different Me. As with her previous LP, it narrowly missed the top of the Billboard 200. Like the first two, it went platinum, driven by the Top Ten R&B/hip-hop singles "Playa Cardz Right" (featuring 2Pac), "You Complete Me," and "Trust" (featuring Monica). In 2010, the same year in which she gave birth to her and professional basketball player Daniel Gibson's son, she released her fourth set, Calling All Hearts, which despite no major prelude singles entered the Billboard 200 at number nine upon its December arrival. Separated from Ron Fair, who had left his position at Geffen, Cole continued with Woman to Woman. The November 2012 release was dedicated to her fans, who came through by making it Cole's fifth consecutive Top Ten R&B/hip-hop and pop album. Cole then moved laterally again to Interscope (like A&M and Geffen, a label distributed by Universal) for the similarly successful Point of No Return. Her third number one R&B/hip-hop album (and sixth Top Ten pop LP), it was released in October 2014. Two of the hottest producers at the time, DJ Mustard and Mike WiLL Made-It, contributed to the album, as did Cole inspiration Faith Evans. Free from Interscope, Cole moved to another major label, the Sony-distributed Epic, for the 2017 album 11:11 Reset,
