Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

A week ago, Solange’s A Seat at the Table gave listeners a hearty serving of what it means – and all the grey areas in between – to be Black in White America.

Social media responded with a resounding “yasssss” as fans quickly began sharing their favorite songs, posting “Don’t Touch My Hair” inspired pics and just all around applauding Solange and her lyrical bravery.

But the love has translated to sales too.

The 21-track album currently sits at the top of the iTunes, Amazon and Google Music charts.

ASATT is also in constant rotation on streaming services. In fact, Pandora has had a 5519% increase in Solange-added stations and Pandora users have picked “Borderline (An Ode To Self Care)” featuring Q-Tip as the album’s top track.

With the release of videos for “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch My Hair,” Solange’s numbers will only go higher and one person who we can certainly count on to keep us posted on how her baby girl is winning is proud mom Tina Lawson.

Oh my goodness I just found out my Baby has the Number one album in the whole country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How friggin amazing is that !!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooookoooooooooooo poud of you Solo! I am so happy to see that the world can finally see what I've seen since you were three years old. That you were really special that you were ahead of your time and that you walked to the beat of your own drum and that you stuck to it no matter how much shit people talked.. I knew it ! When you walked thru Sharpstown mall with Angie and everybody was laughing because you had on those platform shoes and Japanese prints stockings and mixed prints braids down past your butt😀you didn't care!
