March 6 brought with it the highly anticipated release of Jhené Aiko‘s third album, ‘Chilombo.’
Led to chart battle by singles ‘Triggered,’ ‘None of Your Concern (featuring boyfriend Big Sean), and ‘P*$$Y Fairy,’ the star-studded LP – which also counted some of Urban music’s biggest names like Nas, H.E.R., John Legend, Ab-Soul, Ty Dolla $ign, Future, Miguel, and more as guests – was an out-of-the-box critical success as it received thumbs up from some of the industry’s most recognized critics.
Originally predicted to see that fanfare mirrored commercially to the tune of 90,000 units shifted its first week (as we first reported here), that figure almost doubled when receipts were counted for the singer’s tour bundle which allowed one copy of ‘Chilombo’ to accompany any ticket purchased for her forthcoming ‘Magic Hour Tour’ (click here for dates).
The result? Aiko debuted on this week’s Billboard 200 with the highest first week sales of her career. Details inside:

First Week Sales (SPS): 152,000
Congrats! Canola Cabullshit will continue to decline. We love to see it! Shine on Jhene! Keep flourishing you talented, beautiful soul!

The w***** is waiting to see which music trend is hot at the moment so she can jump on oy but the bìtch will still flop.
Its been 4 whole months since normani saw the inside of the billboard hot 100.
?
Now normani is dating Austin Maloney, Camila’s left overs.
Lol
You seem bitter… It’s not a good look love. Let it go. You’re not on either one of their radars.
Your whor e mum waits too which trend is hot you lil’f.a.g.g
Wow Jhene slayed Uzi and Meg in pure sales.
SN: Saying 38K pure sales was a slay just 5 years ago would have been laughable. I remember when Ciara was dragged to hell for doing 38K and debuting in the lower regions of the Billboard 200.
Congrats to all.
jhene was the only one of the three (jhene, mts, and luz) who had a tour bundle though. if she didn’t have that she would have sold significantly less
Solid album!
Earfuker music.. this must be New genre as “spastic music”
That’s incredible wow!
Yaaaaaaaaaasssss I love it when talent WINS! ? stream #CHILOMBO
so in reality she only sold 90k units with 16k pure sales. Now that Billboard doesn’t include tour bundle receipts her next album will probably do significantly less.
