The Culture was declared the winner of Brandy and Monica‘s blockbuster Verzuz battle this week.
Indeed, the beloved R&B icons reminded why their names and musical numbers are forever etched in history.
Now, it’s become apparent that the celebration – which was the most watched Verzuz instalment to-date – has delivered majorly
Dive below for the data.
According to Billboard, the songbirds collectively amassed 21.9 million U.S. on-demand streams for their catalogs from the day of their Aug. 31 spar through Sept. 2.
When comparing with the 6.3 million U.S. on-demand streams drummed up in the three days leading up to the showdown, it means Verzuz effect caused for a seismic spike of 248%.
From the total, Monica’s catalog – fuelled by surprise single ‘Trenches’ (which arrived hours before Verzuz) – registered for 11.2 million plays; while Brandy’s bops tallied 10.9 million streams.
Deserved!
After such a slay battle, we’re ready for the teased tour.

Brandy Won, this site obviously is a sore loser and refuse to congratulate the Winner : Brandy
Monica- 11.2 million streams
Brandy- 10.9 million streams
What’s not clicking ?
Brandy had 4 albums still in iTunes top 100 to Monica 0 as of yesterday Even her greatest hits was outselling Monica’s highest charting album. That’s what’s clicking
Pat, even with her albums higher on the chart than Monicas, Monica streams are higher than Brandy by 0.3 so… I’m not understanding your argument here. Even now, Brandy’s albums are falling and Monica’s single are still holding up.
But ummm Brandy still has three albums in the top 20. Monica has 0. And that’s no shade just a fact.
Monica’s streams include a new single and she still barely has more. Both are winning but Brandy is the winner
@ J…🤣😭😭😭 you Brandy gays are hilarious. Even with the numbers above, you clowns are still declaring Brandy the winner.
Monica- 11.2 million streams
Brandy- 10.9 million streams
That right there states who the winner is, (Monica) and the people have spoken. So save the rebuttal of asinine gibberish. Man you clowns are hilarious 🤣🤣
@Tori. By .3. ThAts really not by much at all if u underStand streaming tho
This thin ass margin lmao if it were a presidential race it would be “too close to call”. They both won. Have a seat.
300k streams is not a thin àss margin.
300k votes in an election is not a thin àss margin. That’s enough votes to make u win an election.
😭😭
Monica ate her up.
Even their fashion during the versus battle, monica ate brandy up. Lol
B7, NEVER SAY NEVER and FULL MOON ARE STILL CHARTING ALMOST A WEEK LATER. MISS THANG IS #31 AND HER OTHER ALBUMS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. THATS CUTE FOR BORING ASS TRENCHES THOUGH. IT SLIPPED TO #12 ON R&B AND ALL THE WAY OFF THE MAIN CHARTS IF YIU WANNA KEEP IT A G
@STARR,..why don’t you address Brandy’s album falling off the billboard 200 in two weeks 🤣😭😭
AFTER YOU ADDRESS HOW PRESSED YOU ARE. MEANWHILE B7 IS BACK AT #1 ON ITUNES. NEVER SAY NEVER #18 FULL MOON #21 GOODBYE
LMAOOOO And by next week, her album will fall right back off of billboard like the first time LMAOOOO.
Camickys pyscho stan wouldn’t know anything about album sales.
Brandy Never Say Never album sold 14 million alone 😂😂😂
And now Brandys catalog albums are selling
Speaking of album, where is normani’s album?
We are in the month of September and still no album.
The year is almost over, still no album
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hold on Nicky, me and Clarkson are proving a point here because we’re really trying to see how is 300K more than 10.9M is a thin azs margin or not much by streaming standards, especially since I don’t ‘know how streaming works’. I mean, its been more all along but for some reason since people are trying to prove that Brandy won against actual numbers, now its not considered more.
Monica always comes out on top. The world f**** with the real clearly. Congrats boo.
MONICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE PRESENT N RELEVANT.
Always.
WHERE? ON INSTAGRAM LMAO THE DOVES SO DELUDED
The fans are the reason these two can never win together. Clearly they both are stronger together than apart but miserable people who live their lives in a competitive mind set cause a bunch of drama and bull s*** grow up.
Omg they’re so pathetic. And most of these fans are 30 and 40 years old. Get a grip and a life.
Yes they are pathetic literally arguing over who’s streamed how many millions
Please don’t tell me y’all are really arguing over a small difference in streams. Monica and Brandy fans are So pathetic… yeah I said it. Neither of these ladies are pushing units. Neither of them are on on major charts. It’s been that way for years. Beyond that, BOTH are talented women who had their time and are still here and BOTH are finally getting their deserved flowers. Less arguing and more purchasing & streaming. Our 90s legends deserve it.🙄🙄🙄🙄
Lol🤦♂️
Big congrats to Monica. Missthang always comes out on top.
Props to both legends 👏🏻 hopefully with Brandy getting renewed interest her fans will stop being the driest bitter h*** on stan internet☕
Congratulations to both women! I doubt either thought this would be the success it has turned out to be. They’re relevant in a way they haven’t been in decades. But of course toxic fandom has to come in and with homophobic comments, ratchet deflections and a need to pit these two legends against each other in a way even they don’t care about. Let Brandy and Monica have this shine for a minute! They’ll probably never get this kind of attention again.
Brandy is the new biblegirl drag 😂🤣😂🤣
Dead y’all actually arguing over streams and money being earn’t that you will never see? I’m cackling. There is literally only a marginal difference in their streams. I’m dead 😂😭
Exactly!!
I’m happy for them!!!
I love Monica past hits:
