Congratulations are in order as the R&B girl group Psiryn earn their first No. 1 on a Billboard chart as its single “Sober” dominates the Adult R&B Airplay.
The Trio , PSIRYN— made up of Anaya Cheyenne, Jada Denise and Victoria McQueen— become the first all-female duo or group to obtain Adult R&B Airplay chart in nearly 23 years.
“It feels surreal and is an absolute honor,” Psiryn tells Billboard of its new No. 1. “We are the first girl group in 20 years to achieve this, and it feels truly out of this world – we still can’t believe this is happening!”
The record originally debuted at No.23 in September. The track “Sober” propelled into the top 10, holding the No.5 spot for five consecutive weeks around the holidays.
“The relatability of this record speaks volumes. So many people connect with ‘Sober’ and the feeling of needing a break from the real world,” the trio adds. “People just gravitate toward it, just like we did when we first heard it!”
“Sober” was released through Kandi Burruss independent label, Koated Entertainment, a multimedia agency.
The entrepreneur rose to fame as a member of R&B group Xscape, which logged 10 hits on the Adult R&B Airplay chart in the 1990s, including “Just Kickin It” (No. 4), “Understanding” (No. 3) and “Who Can I Run To” (No. 2), all of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. As a songwriter, Burruss co-penned hits include No. 1 Hot 100 hits from TLC (“No Scrubs”) and Destiny’s Child (“Bills Bills Bills.”)
