Despite ranking as her lowest-selling and lowest Billboard 200 debut to date, 2020’s ‘Alicia’ – the seventh studio from singer-songwriter Alicia Keys – still managed to premiere at #4 on the hit list, a measure fueled in great part by the viral response to the project’s pandemic-inspired singles ‘Underdog’ and ‘Good Job.’

To rebound, Keys announced the LP’s follow-up would come as another self-titled effort of sorts – the 26-track opus ‘KEYS’ (released December 10).  Her first double album, the unique venture offered 14 original songs on one disc and 12 revamped versions of those same tunes on its second.

And while it comes as the second studio effort of her career to go to chart battle without a Hot 100-charting single to precede it (following 2016’s ‘Here’), ‘KEYS’ is the diva’s first to lack the traditional promotional onslaught afforded her studio releases.

Look inside to see how that’s predicted to impact the set’s first-week sales.
