Just when Kelly Rowland thought it was safe to release an album. While managing to outsell Beyonce’s ’4′ LP on this week’s Billboard 200, the singer’s ‘Here I Am‘ has missed the top spot and was outdone by the ever-present force that is Adele’s ’21′.
Did you know that Whitney Houston is the only female artist to have 3 albums spend a minimum of 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200?
Just like the music on the album, the sales of Kelly Rowland’s ‘Here I Am’ are far from impressive. Missing the top spot by a considerable margin, the record has given her lowest first week sales of her career to date.
11 weeks. That’s the number of occasions Adele has dominated the Billboard 200 since the release of her ’21′ album on February 22nd, a first for any artist since 2008.
Kelly Rowland’s refusal to properly promote her ‘Here I Am’ album is going to cost her dearly. In fact, the record is expected to debut with the lowest first week sales of her career.
Beyonce’s reign has come to an end. The singer’s ’4′ album has fallen from the peak of the Billboard 200, slipping to the brink of the top 5 while chart rival Adele’s ’21′ continues to excel in the top 3.
