"natural, pleasant and brutally honest, opening the eyes of those who slept on Williams' skills." Commercial performance In October 2008, Unexpected debuted on the US Billboard 200 albums chart at number forty-two – achieving greater success on Billboard's component charts (as with her previous albums Heart To Yours and Do You Know) where the album peaked at number eleven on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number forty-two on the Digital Albums chart, with first week sales of 14,618 in the United States. The album peaked within the top 40 of the UK R&B Albums Chart at number 38 whilst the single, "We Break The Dawn", peaked within the top fifty of the UK Singles Chart. As of April 2013, the album has sold 34,000 copies in the United States. In January 2009, Williams confirmed in a video blog that she and a production team were putting the finishing touches for a remix version of the album due for release in North America and Asia going on to later state in June 2009 via Twitter that Unexpected would receive a full UK re-release and that "Hello Heartbreak" would be the first single set for release in August 2009. Williams also confirmed in July 2009 that the London division of Sony Music was considering a re-issue of the album which created the opportunity to record some new songs. Furthermore, she revealed that the new remix album was almost complete and puts a hip hop and/or jazz spin on some the original album's tracks. She also said that some of the new remixes could also be released as part of the UK re-issue. However, by the end of 2009, no further confirmation or news concerning the remix album or UK re-release was provided and therefore it is most likely that the ideas were scrapped.
