Miguel‘s lengthy promo run in support of his fourth album, ‘War & Leisure,’ has proven useful in his battle for the top of R&B charts this week.
The set was kicked off by the Travis Scott-assisted ‘Sky Walker,’ a sleeper hit that’s worked its way up to become his highest charting solo outing since his signature hit, 2012’s ‘Adorn’ (#17 peak on the Hot 100). Overall, the cut marks his first appearance in Hot 100 top 60 since 2013’s ‘Beautiful’ with pop icon Mariah Carey (#15 peak).
The song’s success, in conjunction with the critical acclaim of its follow-ups ‘Pineapple Skies,’ ‘Told You So,’ and a trusty album bundling deal with ticket sales from the recently announced ‘War & Leisure’ tour (click here for dates), helped hoist the project to the top of a number of rhythmic album charts this week.
