Giveon Announces ‘Dear Beloved Tour’ After New Album Soared to Billboard 200’s Top 10 with His BIGGEST First-Week Sales Yet

While the top 10 rush of Hip-Hop and Pop albums dominated the week’s Billboard 200 news, Giveon still managed to wave the flag for R&B thanks to the handsome arrival of his anxiously awaited sophomore album ‘Beloved.’

Giveon’s ‘Beloved’ Album

First-Week Sales (SPS): 44,000

First-Week Sales (Pure): 8,000

First-Week Billboard 200 Position: #8

Released July 11, ‘Beloved’ – Giveon’s sophomore album – entered the updated Billboard 200 at #8 thanks to total first-week sales of 44,000.

Besting the #11 arrival of its predecessor, 2022’s ‘Give or Take,’ the new LP – launched on the wings of singles ‘Twenties‘ and ‘I Can Tell‘ – marks a milestone for its GRAMMY-nominated owner as the biggest first-week sum he’s collected since his 2020 debut project.

‘Beloved’ comes as the second trip of his short career to the Billboard 200’s top 10 following the #5 peak of his 2021 compilation album ‘When It’s All Said & Done…Take Time.’
