Victoria Monét’s debut album, Jaguar II, has achieved a top 10 debut on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart.
The album opens at No. 6 this week with 15,000 equivalent units sold. Jaguar II not only appears on the Top R&B Albums chart but also on the following charts: Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (No. 22); Top Album Sales (No. 53); and Billboard 200 (No. 60).
Jaguar II marks Monét’s first top 10 album on the R&B Albums chart and her second entry on the Billboard 200.
Elsewhere on Billboard, various tracks from Jaguar II make a splash on several charts. The Kaytranada-produced “Alright” has debuted at No. 13 on Hot R&B Songs.
The current single, “On My Mama,” is also making moves on the charts. It debuts at No. 98 on the Hot 100 this week, solidifying Monét’s first solo entry on the popular singles chart. Its other chart moves include R&B Digital Song Sales (No. 6); R&B Streaming Songs (No. 12); Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 25); Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (No. 29); and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 33).
