Summer Walker has once again proven her unrivaled dominance in modern R&B. In doing so, she deliveres another mic-drop moment in her career. One that cements her as one of this generation’s most dominant voices in R&B. Her third studio album, Finally Over It, has debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200, securing the biggest first-week debut by a female R&B artist this year. Additionally, the project also arrives at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, marking yet another historic win for the Atlanta songstress.
Fueled by massive anticipation and a fiercely loyal fanbase, Finally Over It captured an estimated 92 million streams alongside 8,000 album sales, signaling both commercial power and cultural resonance. The new release expands Walker’s imprint on the charts and closes a remarkable trilogy that began with 2019’s Over It and 2021’s Still Over It, both debuted top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. With her latest project securing a third No. 1 in the series, Walker officially completes a rare chart trifecta—one that solidifies her catalog as consistently elite.
Musically, Finally Over It is a star-studded yet deeply personal offering. With heavyweight contributors such as Chris Brown, Anderson .Paak, Bryson Tiller, Latto, and Mariah the Scientist, the album blends diverse textures without ever eclipsing its core: Summer’s unmistakable voice, her confessional pen, and her ability to transform heartbreak into high art. These collaborations enhance the project’s emotional landscape while keeping Walker’s narrative front and center.
Even though Finally Over It narrowly missed the top position on the Top 200, the achievement remains undeniable. In an era defined by fleeting attention spans and accelerated release cycles, debuting at No. 2 with the strongest female R&B opening of the year speaks to Walker’s rare staying power. Her audience isn’t just listening. In fact, they’re invested.
Artistically, Walker steps into a new space with this project. Where earlier albums captured emotional turbulence, Finally Over It feels grounded, introspective, and resolute. There is clarity amid the vulnerability, growth within the hurt, and intention behind every lyric. It’s both a continuation and an evolution. Evidence that her artistry deepens with every release. With this milestone, Summer Walker not only cements her legacy but signals that her reign in R&B remains strong, steady, and far from finished.
