Mr. Benjamins Avatar

Jack Harlow’ssophomore effortย Come Home The Kids Miss Youย has made its debut on the Billboard 200 chart. According toBillboard, the Generation Now artist’s sophomore album debuted at No. 3 on the chart with an estimated 113,000 total album-equivalent units. The No. 3 finish was a two-spot improvement over Harlow’s debut effortย That’s What They All Say,ย which peaked at No. 5 in 2020.

Harlow’s album,ย jam-packed with guest appearances from the likes ofย Drake,Pharrell Williams,ย Lil Wayneย andย Justin Timberlake, was originally projected to debut at the No. 2 spot behind Latin superstar Bad Bunny’s new album,ย Un Verano Sin Ti. However, the strength ofย Future’sย former No. 1 albumย I NEVER LIKED YOUย pushed Harlow from the second slot.

After Future’sย I NEVER LIKED YOUย debutedย at No. 1 last week with theย biggest opening week for an album in 2022, it managed to pull in an estimated 116,00 total album-equivalent units earned in its second week, a 47 percent drop. Future celebrated a rare rap milestone whenย I NEVER LIKED YOUย hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and hisย “WAIT FOR U”ย collaboration featuringย Drakeย andTemsย debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The achievement made Future only the second rapper to ever have an album and single debut simultaneously atop the charts, following Drake who achieved the feat in 2021 withย Certified Lover Boyย and“Way 2 Sexy.”

Harlow isn’t slowing down on the momentum generated byย Come Home The Kids Miss You, even if he may not knowย how close Brandy and Ray J’s relationship goes. On May 9, he announced aย tourย in support of the album along withย City Girls.

The trek is set to kick off on September 6 in Nashville, Tennessee with additional stops in Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia and Miami. The tour wraps up in Atlanta with a show at the State Farm Arena on October 16.
