The Billboard 200’s top 5 is set to see some serious girl power next week thanks to two of Urban music’s most highly anticipated sets – Jhené Aiko‘s third album, ‘Chilombo,’ and Megan Thee Stallion‘s, ‘Suga.’
The former, the first effort from Aiko since peaking at #5 with 2017’s ‘Trip,’ is already winning on the critical front as it’s nabbed thumbs up from some of the industry’s most respected critics. A star-studded, 20-song affair featuring the likes of Nas, Big Sean, H.E.R., John Legend, Ab-Soul, Ty Dolla $ign, Future, Miguel, and more, analysts are reporting early reads of ‘Chilombo’s sales suggest the LP could deliver the highest Billboard 200 premiere of her career to date.
Conversely, ‘Suga’ – the newest EP from Stallion – may have a limited guest list (only Kehlani and rapper Gunna), but what it lacks in features it makes up in star power behind the board. Boasting production credits from The Neptunes, Timbaland, Lil Ju, J-White, Helluva, Tommy Brown, and more, predictive data suggests ‘Suga’ could be the first Billboard top 5 entry of the Houston hottie’s career.
Curious to find out the numbers believed to accompany these releases? See them inside:
Jhené Aiko’s ‘Chilombo’
First Week Sales Prediction (SPS): 95,000-120,000
*****
Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Suga’
First Week Sales Prediction (SPS): 35,000-40,000

All that Meg hype n Jhené quietly came n stormed
But if you have time listen to them both please…
Megan did what she’s does best, it’s hype and her vibe in my opinion it’s on point.
Jhené on the other side has a incredible album, it’s strong and an awesome surprise!
Both are great ??
Well one is being pushed by a major label and the other Is not, so there’s that. Congrats to both, though.
Yaaaaaassss Jhené!!! So happy, she deserves all success. I’m yet to stream this but I got a night planned with me some wine and #CHILOMBO today
Props to Megan too! Will give Suga a spin after I’m done with Jhene
jhene your skin darling…flawless. lets do skin awards. lizzo has some pretty skin too, yall spending all that $ on skin care and jhene won.
Do you know her skincare routine?!? I need it lol
Probably Big Sean’s ?
he funny he said big sean nuts big sean must got that noxema,,,,
She’s half Asian. Asian woman are beautiful and has nice skin naturally. They have good genes
and don’t forget c**********
Damn. I’d call this a comeback for Jhene seeing as this is selling MUCH more than the previous album (with that terrible cover art). And Meg, that’s solid for an EP/Mixtape. Congrats to both
Trip is awesome intro to outro including the cover beau! Guess you gotta be a pothead like me and Jhené to appreciate the packaging lol
LOL. I love Jhene, but the last album didn’t do it for me. This one is much better 🙂
Smh @ the lack of proofreading on this article tho. Easy on the copy-paste yall Megan’s album is not named Chilombo.
Girl stfu
They clearly read what I said and corrrcted it. You’re welcome, ho!
Jhené slaughtered Camicky. Without Seniorita
??????????
Camicky with 10x more budget than Jhené. Still was slaughtered.
Hence Camicky was dropped from the label immediately after her Bromance release
????????????????
LOL. I forgot all about that girl and her album. But damn! Jhene did demolish Canola Cabullshit without a tour bundle, without streams for a #1 album, and without tons of promo. A kii!
??????
Talent. No smoke and mirrors.
Imagine if Seniorita wasn’t included on the album.
????????
Poor Camicky. Another L in the books.
Da Baby beat a woman on International Women’s Day. Poor Camicky.
Awwwww. So sad nor-Man ly collaborator beat her on the charts on International Woman’s Day. Meg and Nicki Minaj slaying her alive. Even her nemesis Camila ended her career
She really thought she had a hit
????????????????
Another L for Normanly in 2018, 2019 and 2020
Opening act and upcoming mixtape from RCA may be canceled as well. ?
Pharrell Williams want profit from her not losses
We love to see it.

F******* IS A MAN AND A FLOP
Another L for Normani
Awwwww. So sad nor-Man ly collaborator beat her on the charts on International Woman’s Day. Meg and Nicki Minaj slaying her alive. Even her nemesis Camila ended her career
She really thought she had a hit
????????????????
Another L for Normanly in 2018, 2019 and 2020

Jhené slaughtered Normani aka FlopManly Without Motivation and features from Ms. Sam Smith and Khalid.
??????????
Normanli with 5x more budget and free publicity and free shoutouts from Twitter than Jhené. Still was slaughtered.
Hence Normani was dropped from the RCA and Epic label immediately after her Motivation performance
????????????????
ummm.. I am confused. What does Normani have to do with anything???
I think she’s going to sell more than that, they haven’t counted her bundle packages yet & each person who brought a concert ticket get the album. Her tour has sold out in every city so I know Jhené physical copy’s should be more than what is listed above so I’m hoping she gets the number 1 spot
Unfortunatly she won’t. Lil Uzi going to debuet at #1.
See the clowns laughing at themselves
As if machomani will sell 50k first week
????
After all the free megan trending on twitter, u people didnt still stream her album.
Typical black people, they will hype u up on Twitter but still allow u to flop.
A perfect example is cùntmani.
???
Considering it’s an EP and not an album campaign , it did fine ?????????????
Poor Camicky only doubled Megan’s number with 80K SPS. Despite countless videos, singles, budget allocations, performances payola and playlists
Imagine if Shawn’s seniorita wasn’t counted.
??????????????
I cannot breathe. Camicky is NAWT a Star and will never be a main pop girl. Hence why she was dropped immediately after album release.
?????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
F******* is a man
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You just dragged yourself. These black artists didn’t even have 1/8 of the promo Canola Cabullshit did and Jhene sold significantly more than her, and Meg sold almost what Canola Cabullshit did…with an EP. Sad. Very sad. And radio is beginning to pull “My Oh Flop” in light of DaBaby’s slapping incident. What a love and hip hop mess…L after L. She needs to rename the song “L oh L”
??????????
Another L for Normani.
She’s a flop and associate with flops. After all this free fake hype and shoutouts from Twitter. Sorry he’s not a star.
Good luck with that song and upcoming mixtape/ EP from RCA if there’s anymore you speak of. Pharrell cannot gain profit from Normanly music.
??????????
Poe Thang
Megan can call it an EP all day but 8 songs or more is an album and Suga has 9.
the way the internet hypes meg up , i expected higher numbers. label drama, promo and performances yet she still couldn’t crack a measley 50k. what happened hotties and barbz? yall forgot to support??
Exactly all that promo for so little numbers lol
Camickys label cut their losses bc of Bad PR and poor ROI. Hence Camicky apologized immediately after she was dropped despite her remarks years before
Another L for Camicky.
Now she is associated with a woman beater. Another L.
So sorry Camicky 🙁 ????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Normani label cut their losses bc of Bad PR and poor ROI. Hence Normani used the sympathy and race card immediately after she was dropped despite her racist remarks against Asians years before
Another L for Normani, no hit singles in the chart since November 2019. Has to use Camila to be relevant.
Now she is associated with flops. Another L.
So NOT sorry Normanli ? ????
Congrats to Jhené for slaughtering Camicky with 1/10th the budget
????????????
Hence Camicky was dropped. No label will fund a girl who doesn’t give good ROI
Another L for Camicky ???????
We love to see it
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Congrats JHENÉ for burying Normanis career after ending him
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Cùntmani this is how u do it
No rolling stones magazine cover
No shout out from 54586645776532 different celebrities on Instagram and Twitter
Didnt use anybody’s name for clout
Congratulations jhene and megan
Normani allow ur music to do the talking, oh wait u dont have any music to begin with.

i tried listening to jhene’s album… it’s just like her previous albums and the songs sound same-y. i don’t get it.
jhene snapped that was unexpected.
Meg’s music is garbage.
Awesome! Glad Jhene is back on track with #CHILOMBO. Felt like she got lost during Twenty88 and Trip but now she’s found her light again.
