Brand’s comeback album, Two Eleven, along with lead single “Put It Down,” has helped her regain a slice of her once dominant chart presence. Two Eleven landed at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, her highest placement in 8 years and her fourth top ten debut. The set also serves as her second No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, behind 2002’s Full Moon. Brandy first appeared on the coveted Billboard charts 18 years ago.
“I didn’t know if I was going to ever get the chance to share my music the way I had shared it before – with a team behind me, a major label push and a direction. I stopped believing in myself. I thought it was over,” Brandy told the Chicago Tribune. “I felt like I wasn’t being a good example to my daughter. I wanted to make her proud.”
Elsewhere on the Billboard 200, Adele continues to reign with her sophomore album 21, as it re-enters the top 10 at no. 9. The set’s chart records is the longest reign by a woman in the chart’s 56-year history.
It’s been a busy week in the music world, and chart news is at an all-time high. This week, Brandy has scored her first top 10 single since 2008 with ‘Two Eleven’, while Adele makes yet another triumphant return to the charts with ‘Skyfall’. Both artists have achieved impressive success over the years, but this latest milestone marks an incredible comeback for both of them. Read on to find out more about their recent achievements!
