Just Charlie is the fifth studio album by American singer Charlie Wilson. It was released by Jive Records on December 3, 2010 in the United States. The album debuted and peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 and at number 2 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 57,286 copies in its first week. Fantasia is the only featured guest on Just Charlie, who appears on a remake of the Roger Troutman song, "I Want to Be Your Man".
The album also includes the hit single, "You Are", which earned Wilson a career high debut on the BillboardHot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart and topped the Billboard Urban Adult Contemporary Chart. "You Are" remained at number one for 13 weeks on the Billboard UAC Chart, climbing to number 16 on the BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, number 7 on the Heatseeker Songs chart, number 19 on the Christian Songs chart, and number 64 on Radio Songs chart.
AllMusic editor David Jeffries felt that Just Charlie "sticks with the high-quality "grown folks" R&B material that put his previous two albums in the Top Ten of Billboard 200 album chart. Besides whittling the number of special guests down from three to one, casual fans will have problems telling this one from his previous release, but these ten smooth cuts go down easy and give no sign the formula has stopped working [...] Maybe the album naming scheme – Charlie, Last Name Wilson, Uncle Charlie, Just Charlie – could be reconsidered, but otherwise, this is Wilson the way you want him."[1]
