Idol Chatter & Voice Views

For the fourth time in her career, Fantasia has had an album debut in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Billboard announced Monday that Fantasia’s new album — “The Definition Of …” — cracked the overall albums chart at number six.

That puts it behind two other new albums, DJ Khaled’s chart-topping “Major Key” and Jake Owens’ “American Love,” which debuted at number four. Albums from Drake, Twenty One Pilots and Rihanna round out the Top 5.

In terms of album sales, 29,000 copies of “The Definition Of …” sold in its first week. Fantasia’s last album, 2013’s “Side Effects of You,” sold 91,000 copies in the first week, but album sales overall have continued to plummet since then.

Fantasia’s other Top 10 albums include “Side Effects of You” (number two), “Back to Me” (number two in 2010) and “Free Yourself” (number 8 in 2004).

The only album she has released since winning Season 3 of American Idol that didn’t crack the Top 10 was her self-title sophomore CD from 2006. It peaked at number 19.

“The Definition Of …” also debuted at number one on Billboard’s R&B albums chart, even though Fantasia has made a point of saying it isn’t strictly an R&B album, but a chance for her to indulge in a variety of genres.

And the latest single from the album, “Sleeping with the One I Love,” is number 16 on the Adult R&B singles chart.
