Having conquered the music world with multiple GRAMMY wins, numerous Billboard top 10 hits, and several Platinum-certified records, Megan Thee Stallion is ready to trot to the film and TV side of the Hollywood yard to expand her success.

In the realm of R&B, Mary J. Blige‘s 30-year career is nearly unrivaled – a status underscored by the Billboard welcome of her latest studio album, ‘Good Morning Gorgeous.’

The 13-track affair, which features guest appearances from Usher, DJ Khaled, Anderson. Paak, and more, was quickly hailed a critical touchdown upon its release on February 11 (just two days before her historic Super Bowl Halftime Show).

In addition to the buzz she drummed up in promotion of the big game, Blige embarked on an extensive campaign in the LP’s support – touching ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘The View,’ ‘The Breakfast Club,’ and a number of other high profile spots in the process.

Those efforts, according to industry analysts, would lead the project to be the diva’s 14th top 20 debut on the Billboard 200.  Now that the tracking week is behind her, look inside to see just where ‘Gorgeous’ landed.

Mary J. Blige stunned music lovers in December when she released a duo of comeback singles to kick off the era attached to her long-awaited 15th studio album.
