In the summer of 2012, Stone also toured nationally in a Hinton Battle production of Love Lies.
Stone’s national tour with Hinton Battle’s Love Lies was announced for 2013, not summer 2012.
Full reasoning
The production itself debuted in summer 2012 at the Midtown International Theatre Festival, but the national tour featuring Angie Stone was announced later. A March 1, 2013 BroadwayWorld report says Stone and Brian McKnight signed on to lead the national tour, with kickoff dates at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. from April 1–7, 2013. So the article conflates the 2012 festival debut with Stone’s later 2013 tour involvement.

Big Mama Morton
Angie Stone’s role in Chicago was Matron “Mama” Morton, not “Big Mama Morton.”
Full reasoning
When Playbill announced Stone’s Broadway debut in Chicago on April 1, 2003, it said she would play Matron "Mama" Morton. That is the character’s standard credited name in the production. The article’s label "Big Mama Morton" is incorrect.

selling more than 62,000 copies in the first week of its release
Billboard reported 62,000 as the album’s total SoundScan sales, not its first-week sales.
Full reasoning
A contemporaneous Billboard article from April 8, 1995 says Vertical Hold’s 1993 debut album "netted sales of 62,000 units, according to SoundScan". That wording describes cumulative sales up to 1995, not first-week sales. So the article incorrectly turns a total-sales figure into a first-week-sales figure.

The group’s 1993 debut A&M album, “A Matter Of Time,” netted sales of 62,000 units, according to SoundScan, and spawned the single “Seems You’re Much Too Busy,” which peaked at No. 17 on the Hot R&B Singles chart.
In November 2001, Stone embarked on the BK Got Music Summer Soul Tour alongside Luther Vandross, Gerald Levert, and Michelle Williams.
The BK Got Music Summer Soul Tour began in August 2002, not November 2001.
Full reasoning
Contemporaneous coverage places this tour in August–September 2002. Billboard reported that the BK Got Music Summer Soul Tour 2002 began Aug. 15. A Sony press release dated August 22, 2002 also describes Michelle Williams joining that same tour. That directly contradicts the article’s statement that Stone embarked on it in November 2001.
