=== 2007β2009: ''Hitsville USA'' & ''Love'' === [[File:Boyz II Men - Live at Vega.jpg|thumb|Boyz II Men Live at Vegas in 2008]] In mid-2007, the group re-signed with Universal Records and released the LP ''[[Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA]]'' through the [[Decca Records]] label. The LP is a [[Cover version|cover album]] featuring songs from the Motown Records catalog, co-produced by [[Randy Jackson]] of ''[[American Idol]]'' fame. The ''Motown'' album includes covers of songs by The Temptations ("[[Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)]]"), [[Marvin Gaye]] ("[[Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing]]", "[[Mercy Mercy Me]]"), [[Smokey Robinson & the Miracles]] ("[[The Tracks of My Tears]]"), and even Boyz II Men themselves (an a cappella version of "End of the Road"). Commercially, ''Motown'' found some success. It peaked at number 6 on the US R&B chart and was certified Gold in the UK. The album was also a critical success. For the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, Boyz II Men received two nominations for the album ''Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA'' (Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Ribbon in the Sky"). In 2008, Boyz II Men's three members appeared on Celebrity ''[[Don't Forget the Lyrics]]'' and created a sensation with their performance. They earned $500,000 for their two nominated charities; the appearance also generated interest in their next release. In 2009, Boyz II Men announced plans for a new cover album that covers "artists I don't think people would expect us to cover!" according to Shawn Stockman. Entitled ''[[Love (Boyz II Men album)|Love]]'', the album was released on {{Nowrap|November 23}}, 2009. The album contains remakes of love songs from outside the R&B genre.
