R&B singer Summer Walker has more reasons to celebrate this week as her album ‘Still Over It’ earns the biggest debut US sales week for an R&B album by a female artist since ‘Lemonade’ by Beyonce over 5 years ago.
Still Over it is has the record for biggest streaming debut for an R&B album by a female artist in US history (201 million).
It is the “No Love” singer’s the first ever #1 album on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The 20-track album’s guest appearances include SZA, Lil Durk, Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes, Omarion, Ari Lennox and JT from City Girls, who appeared on the first single, “Ex for a Reason.”
When the album was released last week with the opening song “Bitter,” featuring narration Cardi B, and the closing song with “Ciara’s Prayer,” featuring narration from Ciara, social media went into a frenzy about her ability to turn real life into art.
“I pray he loves me, leads me, guides me, reassures me. I pray that he holds me,”
Ciara recited.
