Thanks to their respective high-profile relationships, business ventures, and social media followership, it’s arguable the City Girls are at their apex on the celebrity meter.

For those reasons and others, heads were scratched when Yung Miami and JT‘s long-awaited tertiary studio album – the October 20-released ‘Real A** Wh*res (RAW)‘ – debuted real low on the Billboard 200 thanks to reported sales of only 10,000 copies its first week.

In fact, the project – their first since 2020’s ‘City on Lock‘ – arrived at #117 and marks their lowest debut on the hitlist to date.

While some (like DJ Akademiks) have made headlines for their controversial opinion about the cause of the LP’s nonperformance, others – like rapper/reality star/podcast host Joe Budden – suggests sabotage is happening behind the scenes.

Where do you stand on the argument?

As of November 9, R&B superstar Chris Brown stood in the record books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as the most Gold and Platinum-awarded male singer in the organization’s 71-year history (for singles).  For multiPlatinum-certified songs, Brown – the first male vocalist to have 20 tunes certified as high – is tied with his ‘Double Negative‘ co-star Justin Bieber for the most awards of this ilk.

In the penultimate certification category, Brown’s record had long been unmatched – that is until The Weekend captured his latest plaque on Friday (November 10).

K. Michelle has long made clear her intention to scooch from R&B to Country.  And with the September-released ‘I’m the Problem‘ (her final album in the former genre) in her rearview, the award-winning songstress has saddled up for a ride to Nashville.
