It’s been nearly 5 months since Ledisi dealt fans her last studio album, ‘The Wild Card‘ (click here to stream), but it appears the 13x GRAMMY nominee still has a few plays in hand from the critically acclaimed LP’s 15-song deck.

After winning at Urban A/C radio with its kickoff singles, ‘Where I Am’ and Anything for You’ (even nabbing a GRAMMY nod for the latter), the powerhouse singer has prepped the project’s fan favorite – ‘Same Love’ – for radio treatment as the next single.

“It don’t get no hotter than July / Baby I’m so happy I replied / Left our inhibitions at the door / We know exactly what we came here for,” she croons on the slow-burning track. “We ain’t really trying nothing new / I don’t really mind the déjà vu / History is better on repeat.”

After the #61 debut and peak of ZAYN‘s sophomore album on the Billboard 200, 2018’s ‘Icarus Falls,’ his fans were undoubtedly concerned about how its follow-up – ‘Nobody is Listening’ – would fare given it lacked even less promotion than its predecessor.

What’s more, his junior effort – announced just a week ahead of its January 15 released date – had garnered little buzz from the record-buying public at large by the time it arrived to digital shelves, a feat underscored by the nonperformance of its singles ‘Better’ (#89 Hot 100 Peak) and ‘Vibez’ (uncharted as of time reported).

By the time industry analysts weighed in with their first-week commercial forecast, fears were affirmed low anticipation for the set would negatively impact its inaugural sales figures.

The campaign to support The Weeknd‘s fourth official album and era, ‘After Hours,’ may have kicked off in late 2019, but review of the Hot 100 reveals content from the effort shows no sign of loosening grip on the tally.

While ‘Hours’ most noted hit, ‘Blinding Lights,’ is enjoying its record-extending 37th week in the top 5 (making it the longest-running of such hit ranking to date), it also notched its 52nd week in the Hot 100’s top 20 and sits in record books as the second longest-running top 20 hit ever.
