In the United States, the album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200, selling an estimated 91,000 copies in its first week of release.

Later in 2007, the group was the opening act for Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne, Julez Santana and Dem Franchize Boyz, which ran from August to October.

After being featured on Da Brat's single, "In Love wit Chu", Cherish began work on their first album.

Cherish's first single, "Miss P", was produced by Jermaine Dupri, written by Kandi and featured Da Brat.

It did, however, have minor success on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the United States, where it peaked at number 87.

Other than a performance of the song on Soul Train in May 2003, the album received little promotion, which can be attributed to its commercial failure.

Due to the commercial failure of its lead single, the group's first album, The Moment, was shelved a few months later.

A music video for "Power of the Female" was released as a promotional single on Cartoon Network in mid-2003.

"[5] The first track on the album, "That Boi", is an up tempo hip hop song that speaks of a boy who is driving the protagonist insane because she wants him so much.

[citation needed] It was also commercially successful, peaking inside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

The track features Rasheeda on guest vocals, and speaks about how boys want a "chick like me".

The group also made a special appearance on ABC's Good Morning America to introduce the snap dance and on August 15, 2006, the group made a live appearance on MTV's TRL to promote the release of their album.

And in late November 2006, the group performed their single Unappreciated on BET's 106 & Park, which sparked rumors that Bow Wow & Cherish had some sort of altercation during the live taping.

The group also embarked on their own mini-tour to promote the album, with shows at venues such as Six Flags and Orlando Studios.

During this time Cherish was the only female group on select dates, as the opening act for Chris Brown's 'Up Close & Personal Tour', along with Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne, Julez Santana & Dem Franchize Boyz, which ran from August to October.

[citation needed] However, Cherish then went on a European promotional tour in November, and finished up the year with a few Jingle Jam shows in December.

Fans of snap music, pop-R&B and/or dance club jams should be happy with the upbeat, youthful exuberance displayed throughout Unappreciated."

"[6] Vibe editor Celia San Miguel wrote that "with crunk&B on the wane, snap&B seems inevitable.

"[8] Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album a mixed review, stating, "Though they're still in their late teens and early twenties, they write a lot of their lyrics, and they sound as sure of themselves on Unappreciated as any R&B group with a handful of albums behind them.

However, it's clear that they're very much under the influence of their inspirations and contemporaries (from Destiny's Child to Ciara) and aren't yet able to distinguish themselves from what they've absorbed as music fans.

Unappreciated is a boilerplate R&B album that's pleasant and likeable, yet it doesn't leave much of an impression and lacks character.

Lead single "Do It to It", produced by Don Vito and Cheese, is emblematic in that it's the best track on the album and bears a tremendous resemblance to Ciara's Jazze Pha-produced hits (all the way down to its cadence).

"[1] Michael Endelman of Entertainment Weekly said of the album, "This month's model is Cherish, a cheery female foursome that blends the rapid call-and-response vocals of Destiny's Child with the slithery club grooves of Ciara.

The mix works, creating a debut that matches of-the-moment beats with sticky melodies.

The best cut on Unappreciated is the Don Vito-produced single "Do It to It," which gives the Southern micro-genre known as snap music (think D4L's Laffy Taffy) a Top 40 makeover with a slinky percolating beat and a sweetly cooing chorus."

The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA on December 23, 2006 for shipping one million units to stores.
