Khalid just dropped his new album ‘Sincere’ and to celebrate we’re looking back at some of his impressive chart achievements. This is Billboard Explains: Khalid’s Massive Chart Success. Khalid made his Billboard chart debut in 2016 with “Location.” It spent five weeks at No. 2 on the Hot R&B Songs chart and became his first Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at No. 16. His follow-up single “Young Dumb and Broke” was also a hit, topping the Hot R&B Songs chart for 11 weeks and getting up to No. 18 on the Hot 100. Both songs appeared on his debut album, ‘American Teen,’ which ruled the Top R&B Albums chart for 18 weeks and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Soon after, Khalid racked up his first three Hot 100 top 10 hits thanks to a series of collabs. He teamed up with Logic and Alessia Cara on “1-800-273-8255,” which reached No. 3 in 2017. The next year, his duet with Normani, “Love Lies,” got to No. 9, and in 2019, he joined forces with Benny Blanco and Halsey on “Eastside,” another No. 9 hit. The same year, Khalid added two more top 10s with his single “Better,” which peaked at No. 8, and “Talk” racing to the No. 3 spot. The two songs were from Khalid’s sophomore album ‘Free Spirit,’ which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
