Khalid's got more to come.


Khalid dropped off his sophomore tape Free Spirit at the top of the month and already the album has been doing numbers. Having announced his tour for the tape, Khalid pulled in his first #1 on the Billboard 200 chart just a couple days ago and now he's succeeded with yet another milestone. The 21-year-old has now become the first artist in history to claim the entire top 5 tracks on the Hot R&B Songs Charts.

The songs occupying the coveted spots are "Better," "Talk," "My Bad," "Saturday Nights," and "Outta My Head."

"FIRST IN HISTORY!!!! WOW!! I catch myself in disbelief every now and then and I’m still learning SO much through all of this shyt. Life gets crazy sometimes and I often find myself trying to keep it together, but one thing I’m so thankful for are the people who support me so this really goes up to y’all," Khalid captioned an image on Instagram of the news.

"I love u guys so much thank you for rocking with me for the past few years! Two albums in and a shyt ton to go HAHAHA! LETS GOOOOO!!!"

Yeah lil homie album bangs

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Im happy to see a young blac man get money but does dude ever actually sing or hit notes?

 

[NZA]

great for him but terrible for the genre

 

[OfTheCross]

I've heard his name a bunch but can't name any of his songs

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Not tryna hate but am I the only person who think he can’t sing and is usually offbeat whenever I hear him on the radio or whatever?

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Nope.
He doesnt sing, he just talks in a monotone but melodically. He usually on beat but breh honestly hits NO notes.

Theres so many talented rnb artists who could be getting this push/shine instead

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

That stimulus package

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I don't listen to him but I'm down for any positive news that comes to R&B

Hopefully this type of stuff leads to inspiration for other artists to take R&B as a serious craft again.

brehs get tired of fukking women to the same songs

 

[CarltonJunior]

Never heard a song of his but I've seen his name floating around everywhere.

Skipped on listening to his album because I felt like he was an industry plant.
