Jill Scott may have a gem on her hands. After four albums, the R&B/Soul singer is on pace to land her first No. 1 Billboard album with her recent release ‘Light of the Sun.’
According to Hits Daily Double, the set is estimated to sell between 125-135k in its first week, which would knock off all other contenders to land her the career milestone. Her prior highest peak was a No. 3 spot with her 2004 sophomore release ‘Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol. 2.’
“‘The Light of the Sun’ is about being revealing and refreshing â it’s warm. It’s rejuvenating. That’s the kind of music I wanted to create this time around,” Scott recently told Singersroom. “I’m not hiding in any dark places or in any shadowsâ¦I got naked in front of the microphone. That means that the ‘Light of the Sun’ is all over â I can’t hide myself.”
The set is Scott’s first release with her new label and Warner Bros.
Jill Scott has been a mainstay in the music industry for over two decades, and now she is on pace to land her first career chart topper. This incredible feat of success is made all the more impressive due to her longevity as an artist – having released five full-length albums since 2000. With each new release, Jill continues to innovate and captivate listeners with her unique blend of soulful R&B sounds. Her latest album “The Light Of The Sun” is no exception; it’s already making waves across radio stations worldwide and securing its spot at the top of Billboard charts.

It was here that Jill Scott truly made her mark on the industry.
Since then, Scott has become an international star. From sold-out concerts to Grammy nominations and award wins, she’s made sure to stay true to herself throughout it all — staying humble even as she reaches new heights of success. Now, after two decades of fighting for recognition within the music world, Jill Scott is finally poised to make history by having her very first number one song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
