Solange Hits No.1 On Billboard Charts with ‘A Seat at the Table’
Since the release of Solange‘s A Seat At The Table, social media has been in a whirlwind – from comparing the project to her sister Beyonce‘s Lemonade, to rants by fans on how proud they were of the celebration of black magic.
Serving as her fourth studio album (third full-length project), A Seat at the Table has landed the Saint Heron songstress at number one on the Billboard charts, beating Bon Iver’s 22, A Million. Iver’s third album was initially predicted to take the number one spot, but fell short at number two.
According to Nielsen Music, A Seat at the Table sold 72,000 album units in the first week (46,000 in traditional album sales), while Bon Iver’s 22, A Million, followed behind with 71,000 units (58,000 in traditional album sales).
A Seat at the Table just three days before its release on digital retailers and streaming services via her independent label Saint Heron, distributed by Columbia Records. This serves as a follow up to her 2012 EP, True.
Physical copies of A Seat at the Table will release November 18th.
