Jermaine Dupri may not have been all that impressed with the opening figures attached to Sexyy Red’s latest EP, ‘In Sexyy We Trust,’ but Billboard revealed the project’s accompanying numbers were some of the biggest of the week.
Details inside.
First-Week Sales (SPS): 28,000 units
Billboard 200 Debut: #17
Peruse of the updated Billboard 200 sees Sexyy’s ‘Trust’ printed at #17 – a positioning that comes as the week’s highest overall female-led debut. The opening not only marks her best placement on the tally to date but also her first time being listed inside the chart’s top 20.
Supported by the success of her first solo Hot 100 top 20 hit, ‘Get It Sexyy,’ ‘Trust’ also boasts the Rap diva’s highest first-week sales overall.
Before the May 24 (somewhat) surprise-released set, the 26-year-old’s career-best was the #62 peak of her 2023 breakthrough EP ‘Hood Hottest Princess.’
