Chart Check [Billboard 200]: Brandy’s #B7 is the Top Debut of the Week

Published: Tuesday 11th Aug 2020 by Rashad

From ‘Borderline’ to the Billboard 200 finish line, it’s now been revealed exactly where Brandy‘s long-awaited seventh album – ‘B7’ – placed in the race to the top of charts.

With its July 31 arrival trumpeted by the Chance the Rapper-assisted ‘Baby Mama,’ the project was delivered as the R&B veteran’s first official studio album since 2012’s critically acclaimed ‘Two Eleven.’

Despite going to Billboard 200 chart battle as the first LP of her career to lack a Hot 100-charting single to precede it, industry analysts still predicted the eOne set was still on track for a top 10 debut thanks to first-week sales of nearly 25,000.

Now, with the final sold copies counted, look inside to see just where she landed on the album hitlist.


Brandy’s ‘B7’

First Week [Sales Plus Streams]: 25,630
First Week [Pure Sales]: 15,600
First Week [Billboard 200 Placement]: #12

Zooming past the upper limit of predictions, ‘B7’ crossed the Billboard 200 finish line at #12 thanks to sales equivalence of 25,630.

As a result, it’s not only the week’s top debut among all albums on that tally but also sitting at #1 on the Independent Albums chart and #3 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

    I said it before and I’ll say it again, she could’ve easily had a top 3 album if it hadn’t been for 90% of the other top album’s positions being boosted by streaming!

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        OUTPEAKED WITH 11K PURE SALES OH OK LOL. I live for Miss Bey but we ain’t gonna rewrite history baby. That album was attached to one of the biggest films ever and still underperformed badly ….. TWICE. Let’s not honey let’s not!

      • Monica4Life August 11, 2020

        Vocal pamphlet 💀 Like B. Simone’s “book”

  4. IAmKingBishhhh August 11, 2020

    Good Numbers BRocka Especially Not Having A Big First Single And Being Independent With Very Little Promo Happy To See She Debuted Inside The Top 20. And Even More Happier Her Album Is Still Selling #21 On ITunes Currently Seeing Most R&B Albums Especially Independent Normally Fall Steep A Week After Release 💪🏽💪🏽🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

  5. Mikns August 11, 2020

    Congratulations!!! It’s one of the best albums released so far this year! Well deserved and those numbers aren’t bad considering it’s R&B, she’s over 25 years in the game, no hit first single, little promo, pandemic, and no tour/ticket bundle-just merch!

    • John August 11, 2020

      Exactly, I agree, i think this album is going to have consistency over time and word of mouth will keep it afloat.

    • Section8DaGreat August 11, 2020

      Quality always wins over Quantity I bought 2 physical copies and have been streaming all week.

  6. Johny5 August 11, 2020

    This album touched my soul for real! It is deep. Y’all need to go stream! Go Brandy!

    • Mikns August 11, 2020

      Agreed!

  7. FLOP IS KING August 11, 2020

      • G-bby August 11, 2020

        Hey Monica stan you’re always noticeably absent in the Monica posts. What’s up with that Clarkson, I mean Monica4Life???????

      • Tamin August 13, 2020

        İts in urban adult- r&b chart. You shittie

    • You’re gagging August 12, 2020

      Thanks for keeping up with Beys numbers Stan

  8. Kima,Keisha&Pam August 11, 2020

    This album was really lackluster, but I am happy that it was top 20. I want R&B to come back & dominate.

  9. Did I lie August 11, 2020

    Flop all around. After 8 years, she only managed 15k in pure sales. That is embarrassing asf. Not surprising since the last few of her albums flopped. And not her lying on her insta pg saying she bagged the #1 R&B and #1 R&B hip hop chart spot 💀 Embarrassing 🤣

    • FLOP IS KING August 11, 2020

      lmaooo still better than 6k after millions of dollars in overrated hype, thats what u call an all around flop lmfaoooooo

    • STARR August 11, 2020

      NOTHING EMBARRASSING ABOUT A 26 YEAR VETERAN ARTIST SELLING 25K INDEPENDENTLY LMAO. John Legend is on a major label and sold 26K. AND SHES EXECUTIVE PRODUCER SO SHE KEEPING ALL HER COINS SUS. STOP HATING AND GO STREAM BORDERLINE LMAO

      • Monica4Life August 11, 2020

        The excuses are mind blowing. The sooner you accept defeat the better off you’ll be. Your fav is a f****** flop. Actually she’s one of the biggest flops ever. Neck and neck with Ciara but at least Ciara gets a hit every now and then. I can’t find Baby Mama on any chart. I don’t even see it on the Rib Shack Chitlin Circuit chart…..💀

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        B**** BABY MAMA IS A TOP 10 URBAN HIT and Borderline is coming for mother f****** blood! STAY TUNED DUSTY HATING ASS B****

      • Did I lie August 11, 2020

        LMAOOO Save the excuses. These numbers are tragic asf. And after 8 yrs at that LOL. You queens let your flop fav down once again, even after purchasing multiple copies. B-FLOP it is LMAOOOO.

  10. #WAP August 11, 2020

    I love brandy, but is this cover considered a bayang?

  11. Monaj August 11, 2020

    You know what I’m not even gonna shade because these sales are higher than most of her peers. Ciara didn’t even sell 5k with Level Up as lead single….

  12. Monica4Life August 11, 2020

    Lmao a flop

    • STARR August 11, 2020

      COMING FROM A MONICA STAN LMFAO. I KNEW ID FIND ONE OF YOU B****** IN HERE HATING

    • #WAP August 11, 2020

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        BABY MISS THANG IS BUSY PREPARING FOR HER NEXT IG PHOTO SHOOT AND CAPTION

      • Monica4Life August 11, 2020

        Code Red did 33k first week phaggit. Brandy still can’t compete. Forever Monica’s lessor. 😘

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        YOU REALLY BRAGGING ON AN ALBUM THAT DIDNT EVEN SELL 10K MORE 5 YEARS AGO? B**** is you dumb or is you stupid??? LETS SEE HOW MUCH “CHAPTER NEVERCOMINGOUT” IS GONNA SELL. How about THAT

      • #WAP August 11, 2020

        @STARR 🤣😂🤣 READ QUEEN!!! Chapter never coming out 🤣😭😭🤣😂💀

  13. Section8DaGreat August 11, 2020

    When your faves have a hardcore fan base that will rock with them after 25 years in the game, being an independent artist and selling this many physical copies come talk sh$t to me. Other than that keep your mouth and your legs closed. In that MF order!

    • Monica4Life August 11, 2020

      With fans like y’all who the hell needs enemies lol. You let your girl flop hard 3x in a row. C Squad goes harder than the Blown Light Bulbz

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        IM NOT GONNA SHADE MY GIRL CICI BECAUSE I LOVE HER. LEAVE HER TF OUT OF THIS. Bring Monica’s clout chasing ass back to the Red Table honey! LETS HAVE A MUTHA F****** TALK OK

      • Justin August 11, 2020

        Fun fact: Monica’s last two albums old sold Brandy’s last two

        Fun fact: Monica has a billboard 200 #1 album, Brandy doesn’t.

        Fun fact: Monica is the last of the two to have an album certification.

        That being said. Congratulations to Brandy on another flop album 🤣

      • STARR August 11, 2020

        AND WITH THAT #1 ALBUM MONICA STILL HAS YET TO OUTSELL BRANDY IN ANY SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION!! Code Red and New Life ain’t even sell 100K and you wanna call somebody a Flop. Not tonight you won’t b****

      • Justin August 11, 2020

        🤣🤣 You said all that, yet her last two albums still out sold Brandy’s last two. Now go enjoy another conservative flop Brandy album 🤣

      • Beauty August 12, 2020

        Where are the receipts for these claims? Monica’s last two albums sold <100K and Brandy’s sold over 200K and that’s facts. Code Red didn’t even debut in the top 20…..

      • Justin August 12, 2020

        🤣😭😭 Oh you are about to get a real reality check when you hop on Google and check those receipts. Poor you 🤣🤣

      • Brandy b7 August 12, 2020

        The fun fact was a lie because Monica last two albums flopped harder than pita bread. Don’t brag about 35 k with a label push. Brandy numbers are just fine for an independent and r&b artist at that .. hating azzz Monica fans as usual. Me + u is nowhere to be found

  14. Clarks0o0ñ August 11, 2020

    These are some tinashe numbers

    Black church gays in their late 30s , what happened? Yall didnt buy this album? Instead yall were busy at the club fighting. 🤣🤣🤣

    • STARR August 11, 2020

      B**** WHERE!! Tinfoil didn’t even debut in the top 100 and sold 800 pure sales b**** LMAO! HER LAST MAJOR LABEL EFFORT SOLD 9K IN 2018. SO AGAIN I SAY, TINASHE NUMBERS WHERE 😂😂😂😂 All that hate in your brain done turned your stupid ass delusional

  15. G-bby August 11, 2020

    Brandy keeps you b****** bothered! I mean she puts y’all in a tizzy! I love to see it!

    Book Bran! 25K sold INDEPENDENTLY after an 8 year break and no huge hit single or social media whoring. “b7” is snatching my soul right now.

    • DID I LIE August 11, 2020

      😂 FLOP numbers for a flop 90’s hasbeen who just lied on her Instagram about coming in at number #1 on all 3 billboard album charts. How embarrassing 🤣🤣

      • G-bby August 11, 2020

        For her to be such a flop and has been you sure are CHECKING! All on her IG scrolling until your fingers are blistered. You been a fan.

      • DID I LIE August 11, 2020

        😂You bottoms were boasting about it on another blog, and said check her gram, so that’s what I did. And low and behold, she was lying her ass off 😂

      • You’re gagging August 12, 2020

        Another bottom trying to shame bottoms lmao
        The jokes write themselves

  16. I SAID WHAT I SAID August 11, 2020

    Ain’t nothing new about Brandy lying, she has shown her lying abilities many times in the past. She’s so fake and bitter to me. I want R&B to truly win, but with fans like hers, I really don’t mind her flopping so they can be humbled. After several flop albums, they still run their mouth. With all the online chatter you would think she would at least do 30K. Instead of running yall mouths and tryin to degrade her contemporaries and other female R&B artists, how about yall go and purchase and stream her damn music so she could at least get a #1 R&B album. She and her stans are delusional, but it’s sad to see her tank like this tho. Oh and one time for the writer of this particular article for the choice of words and keeping it uplifting, talking about “zooming past the upper limit of projections”……I AM DONE!!!! HAHAHAHA The way her album and stories and imprinted all over this site I won’t be surprised if TGJ is one of her stans. Anyway, I look forward to what Miss Thang has in store for us, “Commitment” was definitely refreshing, nostalgic and modern….she is the better of the two……END OF DISCUSSION, PERIODT!!!!!!

    • I hate whyy n bll..cash only August 12, 2020
