Album information

Right Where You Want Me debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard 200 with 53,000 copies in its first week.^[1]

The first single of the same name was not as successful as his debut single "Beautiful Soul", peaking at number thirty-three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The video for his second single "Just So You Know" was shot and officially released, though the single never received a full release in the US due to lack of support from his current record label, as stated in an email from Sherry Kondor, one of Jesse's managers. It did chart in several European countries though.^[2] Following the low support, Jesse went back to the studios again writing and recording for his third album.^[3]
