She deserves all the success! Her previous albums are classics. “Light of the sun” is refreshing.

@CHLOE katy DOES have a number one album…I’m not really her fan but her stans “PERRYLICIOUS” will try to come at you! ……………
I’m so happy that two R&B albums topped the charts…maybe it can also make a comeback on the hot 100

That is surprising that this is her first #1 album, her other albums were extreme fire compared to this one but nonetheless congrats to her. I LOVE JILL SCOTT and her talent is so limitless
