BRENT FAIYAZ’S ‘WASTELAND’ PROJECTED TO MAKE BILLBOARD 200 HISTORY
Written by quietmoneyradio_admin on July 10, 2022
Brent Faiyaz is currently on track to do something no R&B singer has done since Summer Walker’s Still Over It album — debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. According to HitsDailyDouble, early projections for the singer’s sophomore full-length album Wasteland are between 105,000 to 115,000 total album-equivalent units.
If the figure holds, Faiyaz would be challenging Bad Bunny for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and chasing a bit of history in the process. If Faiyaz does indeed reach the summit of the Billboard chart, he’ll become the first truly independent artist since 2018 to achieve a No. 1 album.
Wasteland marked Faiyaz’ first full-length release since 2017’s Sonder Son, but he’s continued to build his fanbase through EP releases, singles, guest appearances and more. The 19-track album comes stacked with guest features from the likes of Drake, Alicia Keys, Tyler, The Creator, DJ Dahi and The Neptunes.
