While a number of R&B artists have seen 2020 render some of their poorest performing efforts to date, the same certainly cannot be said for Jhené Aiko.

Bouncing back from the less than favorable commercial showing of her 2017-released sophomore album, ‘Trip,’ her junior LP – ‘Chilombo’ – took a trip straight to the top of R&B charts upon its release in March thanks to the success of its singles ‘P*ssy Fairy,’ ‘B.S.’ (featuring H.E.R.), and more.
