Blonde debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 275,000 total album-equivalent units sold in August 2016 and has remained on the chart for nearly 300 weeks since. The project marked Frank Ocean’s first time topping the Billboard 200.
While he hasn’t been active in releasing much new music, fans are still racking up the singer’s streaming numbers on various platforms. Spotify announced earlier in September that Frank surpassed 10 billion streams collectively with all of his credits.
