Fueling the momentum is Houston's anticipated appearance on ABC's Good Morning America. Set for September 2, Houston will perform select songs from "I Look To You," likely including "Million Dollar Bill".

Joining Houston, this summer's best selling R&B/soul singer Maxwell, is due to perform live.

According to Jimmy Kimmel Live, Maxwell will take the stage to perform songs from his hit album "BlackSummers'Night" on Friday.

Before Maxwell heats up the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage, "Brand New" singer Trey Songz will release his latest effort.
