Did You Miss It? Samara Joy Rocked ‘The Tonight Show’ As Her ‘Linger’ Album Hit #1 on Billboard Jazz Charts

Fresh from collecting her inaugural pair of GRAMMYs (including a historic Best New Artist win) at the award show’s 2023 ceremony on February 5, rising songstress Samara Joy found herself enjoying yet another set of victories just the following week – soaring to the #1 spot on Billboard’s Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts respectively with her sophomore album, ‘Linger Awhile.’

The placements come as a career first for the 23-year-old.

In a bid to ensure the critically acclaimed LP lived up to its title atop the tallies, Joy took to ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ Thursday (February 16) to deliver yet another immaculate performance of the set’s housed tune ‘Guess Who I Saw Today?’
