Have mercy is undoubtedly what Chloe Bailey was thinking to say to critics after they got a whiff of the reported first-week sales attached to her long-awaited debut solo album, ‘In Pieces.’
See what we mean inside.
Released March 31, the set’s charge to chart battle was preceded by the release of its housed cuts ‘How Does It Feel,’ ‘Pray It Away,’ ‘Cheatback,’ and ‘Body Do’ – none of which made sizable impact on the Hot 100 and signaled their parent project would mirror the nonperformance.
Monday (April 10), days after murmurs hit the Web that the opus would only shift 10,000 total units, Billboard and ChartData confirmed ‘Pieces’ made a modest #119 premiere on the Billboard 200.
As the announcement sent fans and detractors into a frenzy of debate about the whys and hows, Chloe chimed in to suggest the chatter doesn’t change how she feels about her inaugural album.
As alluded to in the tweet above, Bailey is hoping to give the ailing set some additional promo courtesy of the ‘In Pieces Tour’ – a North American trek slated to kick off in Chicago on April 11 and take her to Detroit, Toronto, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles on May 3.
