Summer Walker's 'Finally Over It' lands at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

Summer Walker just locked in a major milestone and stamped her name in the history books. After a highly anticipated release week, the Atlanta singer’s third studio album, Finally Over It, officially debuts at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 chart, earning the biggest first-week debut by a female R&B artist this year. The project also earned the No. 1 spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. This is a career-defining moment that further proves she’s in a league of her own. The project arrives as another powerful chapter in her already dominant run, drawing massive engagement across streaming platforms and commanding attention from fans and industry insiders alike. According to early numbers, the project pulled in an estimated 92 million streams and 8,000 album sales.

With Finally Over It, Walker also completes a rare chart trifecta. The project marks her third No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, closing out a dominant trilogy that began with 2019’s Over It and continued with 2021’s Still Over It. Both albums debuted at the top and each held the No. 1 spot for a week. According to Billboard, her catalog shows no misses. Just steady ascension, one project at a time.

The album comes stacked with heavyweight collaborations, including appearances from Chris Brown, Anderson .Paak, Bryson Tiller, Latto, and Mariah the Scientist. Each feature adds its own flavor without overshadowing the core of the project: Summer’s voice, her storytelling, and her ability to make heartbreak feel cinematic.

Summer Walker Reaches New Milestone

While the album narrowly missed the top spot on the Top 200, the impact is undeniable. Landing at No. 2 with the year’s strongest debut proves Summer’s fanbase isn’t just loyal. It’s locked in. In an era where attention spans are short and streaming numbers move fast, her ability to command this level of engagement speaks volumes.

Finally Over It finds Walker in a reflective but empowered space. Where her past releases swam in emotional chaos, this album feels more resolved. It’s still vulnerable, still raw, but there’s clarity behind the pain this time. More than just a chart position, this release feels like a chapter closing with intention.

And with Finally Over It already performing at elite levels, it’s clear her reign in R&B is far from over.
