With Honestly Nevermind & 7220 deluxe streaming increase, Breezy won’t debut at No.1.
Fans of Chris Brown are pleased to see the father of three make a daring comeback with his 23-track, feature-heavy Breezy album after a protracted absence from the music industry.
The album’s lead songs include “Iffy” and “WE (Warm Embrace),” as well as the most recent single, “Call Me Every Day,” which the fans adored. Yesterday, Chris also released the official music video for “Warm Embrace,” which features a guest appearance by Normani. This time around, Breezy is doing a lot of press and discussing things like the record, parenthood, career advancement, and more.
Brown’s new album is presently anticipated to chart at between 60,000 and 70,000, according to a breakdown of predictions around the most recent chart update by Hits Daily Double.

Luke Combs’ most recent album, Growin’ Up, was also made available on Friday. In its first week, HDD predicted it would ship 65,000–75,000 units, according to a report on Saturday. Deluxe rollouts from Lil Durk and Machine Gun Kelly, which are anticipated to earn 65,000-75,000 and 20,000-25,000, respectively, are two more releases that are now the topic of first-week rumours.

The estimates for Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind (210K-230K), Kevin Gates’ much-awaited Khaza album, and Logic’s comeback with Vinyl Days were all fascinating last weekend.
The last two were closely contested, but many have remarked that even for well-known musicians like these, sales have steadily declined in recent years. For instance, Breezy’s previous release, Indigo, sold 108K units in its first week of release back in 2019; which is significantly more than what he’s doing now.
Breezy’s latest album made its debut on the US Billboard 200 chart, ranking at number four with 72,000 units sold. This included 5,000 pure album sales in the first week, marking it as the artist’s 11th entry into the top ten albums in the US. Additionally, the 24 tracks on the album garnered a total of 87.36 million streams on audio platforms in the country.
Following the release of the album, the R&B star showed disappointment in lack of support from fans and media. “July 8th [Breezy] deluxe album, not that [it] matters…,” he wrote on his IG story. “SEEMS LIKE YALL ONLY INVEST IN THE NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT ME. CHRIS GETS IN TROUBLE (THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON it). Chris drops album…[cricket emojis].”
