The praise continues to rain on Solange following the release of her new album ‘A Seat At The Table,’ and now it looks as if the songbird will reign atop of the US album chart.
Full story below…
Early projections had the critically acclaimed LP on course for a top 3 placing on the next iteration of the Billboard 200.
With a ballpark figure of 47,000-51,000 (SPS), the set was presented as battling it out with Bon Iver‘s new offering and Drake‘s omnipresent ‘Views’ for the coveted top spot.
However, according to Hits Daily Double, word of mouth has seen Solo soar into the pole position.
Still atop of the pack digitally, will the project keep its ‘Seat’ when the final numbers are tallied or will its lack of physical units create way for a steal by the competition?
Stay tuned!
Solo for the win.
hate this b****
Ugly people hate
The Irony, when the comment below shows you doing nothing but using Bey’s sister to Hate and Bash on her.
Exactly…..
@HailLegendBeysus ummm there’s no irony or hate…I like this album better than I like Beyonce it’s an opinion, moron
You still sound like a stupid hypocrite
How can you hate someone you don’t know personally?…. That’s makes no sense
Better than Beyonce
Amen…about time somebody besides me said & thinks this. Solo album actually has substance & meaningful songs….other than Thiefyawnce that had to make a rachet ozz album with a bullshyt storyline about infidelity that might not have even been true. SMH!
I’m so proud of Sol-Angel on this accomplishment. It’s truly a blessing to witness two black sisters from different perspectives in regards to a common theme represented through their music be so well received by the general public. I’m sure Bey’s gonna be on cloud nine now that she’s locked in the #1 spot. Now, the icing on the cake would be for Bey to give her and the album some quick promo through a shout out for her last show.
As Solange said many years ago, “Two girls gone in different directions, striving towards the same galaxy.”
Solange Knowles – God Given Name
She worked so hard to get to number 1.
The Hive needs to go purchase and stream this album. Block that b****** that tried it with Bey! Solange deserves this #1!
You need to find a job that is what you really need to do.
Lmao, you need to stick to one account and stop pretending you ain’t slumming it on the floors of your friends apartment.
Yes I did I love Bey and Solang I hope she to number one
If this happens would this be the first time 2 sibling sisters have number one albums. Of course not first siblings obvi mike and janet but this is so good for her wish her last album got this much recognition it was good too
Toni & Tamar too right?
Tamar doesn’t have a number 1 album. Love & War debuted at #2 and Calling All Lovers debuted at #5
Calling All Lovers debut at #2, right under Janet. And I believe the only other genre that has had siblings debut at no. 1 is gospel…
On the R&B/Hip Hop charts yes but on the BB200 it debuted at #5
I’m feeling the new songs, I wish her the best
I predicted this!
im excited
Best album out for a while without having to be pop!
I’ve never instantly liked an album that didn’t have a commercial enough sound. It’s all easy to listen to and it’s nutritious! She’s actually saying something. The interludes run perfectly into the songs. Production is AMAZING, the intro to Dont Wish Me Well is soooooo moody and captivating. It jerks my soul.
Lil Wayne even came through with some sensitive stuff. This deserves number 1, grammys, BETS… everything
Can you guy’s diversify the site ,please. There are so many urban acts out here..
Justine Skye
Victoria Monet
Tinashe
Paloma Ford
Pia Mia
Etc
They all need the support!
They all need
YESSSS!! THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER ARTISTS OUT HERE THAT ARENNT GETTING THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. JUSTIN SKYE IS THAT BISH! HER MUSIC IS TIGHT AND SHES A BEAUTIFUL TALENTED GIRL.
I’m so happy for her. Such a creative artist. Congrats Solo.
Congrats Solange. I love seeing black excellence. Solange better watch out though and not get too successful. Beyonce will come out swingin just to let you know your sidekick place. She’d be like “I’m Batman h*e. You Robin bih”
You’re such a fckn hater. Why come you couldn’t just leave it at the first sentence and instead use your statement to badge Beyoncé? Zach Campbell wouldn’t be proud of you for this
Not hatin; just being funny and honest. And you know damn well what I’m saying is the truth…Just ask Kelly Rowland #Facts
Smart move to release 2 music videos after the album release; adds to the album’s streams which in turn adds to the album sales.
I hope so !! She deserves it
I’ve never been a Beyoncé fan but I am so happy for Solange. After all the years of living in her sister’s shadow she might finally get the recognition she deserves.
What does Beyoncé have to do with this ? ✋??
I hope Solo gets that number one she deserves it ! She is true artist & this album is instantly a classic ! Music like this should be topping the charts
See I knew it was only a matter of time before Bey purchased a hefty amount of albums to help her sister out… Kiiiii congrats tho Solange #NeverTrustAKnowles
The predicted sales didn’t even increase yet. She’s still on course to do 47 – 51k. I don’t trust YOU and your assuming ass.
Will this be the lowest selling number one?
Will her accomplishment get the Rihanna treatment?
Of course she won’t get the Rihanna treatment from this site. Rihanna is the threat to beyonce-land that won’t go away.
Frihanna is not a threat to Beyoncé. Not with those album sales…
The fact that you responded so quickly says otherwise.
LMAO YET SHE’S STILL PUSHING FLOP NUMBERS AND YOU BRAINDEAD BUGS ARE CELEBRATING LMAO. WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN WHEN SHE FREE FALLS THE FOLLOWING WEEK LIKE KOOLAID’S SINGLES? LMAO
As was stated before, if she had a physical release, she probably would have sold about 30k more in terms of sales. She would have definitely gone to number one..
Congrats GIRL! She’s put out one of the best albums this year.
Lord have mercy. If this goes to number #1… First of all, with this only being 50,000, she’s only getting a number 1 because no one else has released music this pass week. Smh
I’m So Proud Of Solange the growth has been immense True Ep was the catalyst to this the spark she needed to evolve. The way she rolled it out was clever to so subtle yet it evoked the masses interest. The album is masterfully crafted the production, the vocals, the lyrics, the ways it’s weaved together by Master P and he’s dropping knowledge. I love how she dropped the 2 aesthetically driven videos the looks she brought the melanin the hair everything the choreo blessed my soul. She has delivered one of the best body of work hands down this year no argument okay b/c I have lemonade! I just need her to do some promo these last few days hit up Wendy messy ass hit up Ellen universally pleasing ass hit up Fallon hit up James Cohan? I need her on the breakfast club, sway in the morning, and hot 97 even make a stop at MTVs wanderland I just want her to prosper I want her to snatch the #1 snatch some Grammys snatch these album sales she deserves it. I’m just so proud of the Knowles sisters they have the highest critically scored albums of 2016 I feel so proud of them. #melaningod #blackgirlmagic
Congrats to solange knowles fuge and her brother and two sisters are proudly of her as well her parents
