Solange's 'A Seat At The Table' Debuts At No. 1 On Billboard 200

Solange Announces New Album ft. Q-Tip, Sampha, Dev Hynes + More, Out This Friday

Hopefully you, like us here at HQ, have spent your last week and change listening to and absorbing the warmth and beauty that is Solange's exceptional new album A Seat At The Table.

Well it appears that at least some of your have been at it, as the Billboard 200 chart totals have arrived and A Seat At The Table is sitting pretty right at the top. Edging out Bon Iver's 22, A Million with 72,000 equivalent album units sold -- 46,000 in traditional album sales, 3,000 in track equivalent album units, and 24,000 in streaming equivalent album units -- to Iver's 71,000 total units. And it's well earned. With all of the critical and civilian love A Seat At The Table has garnered in the past few weeks, we're looking at an early and instant contender in end of year superlative discussions.

If you've yet to dip into Solange's new album, we insist you do so in any way you can. Pick up your copy on iTunes, stream it via Spotify or if you're of the analog persuasion, you can always hold out for the album's vinyl release this winter. But we wouldn't suggest waiting that long.
