Chris Brown continues to enjoy the fruits of his labor. The R&B star’s 2019 song “Under the Influence” has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has sold more than one million equivalent units. 

The song, which appears on his Indigo (Extended) album, has been making waves over the last few months, solidifying Brown a new sleeper hit. 

During the week of Sept. 24, “Under the Influence” made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 36.

It marked Brown’s 113th career entry on the popular singles chart. Since then, the bedroom banger has been slowly climbing the chart. “Under the Influence” stands at No. 23 at the time of publication (during the week of Oct. 15).

On Spotify, “Under the Influence” is among Brown’s most popular songs. It’s currently trending No. 1 on his Spotify profile with more than 318 million streams to date.

In mid-September, “Under the Influence” reached No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top 100: Global chart. At the time of publication, it’s No. 2, sitting in between Sam Smith and Kim Petra’s “Unholy” (No. 1) and Steve Lacy’s smash single “Bad Habit” (No. 3).

“I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE and LOVE YALL..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽. #1 This is crazy to me… imagine the songs that were overlooked.. thank you team breezy. GEMS 🙏🏽❤️. Hope you guys are going back and re-listening to see what y’all may have missed. 🥰 R&B AINT DEAD..just allow it to blossom,” Brown wrote on Instagram after “Under the Influence” topped the Apple Music chart.

Brown released Indigo (Extended) in October 2019 as a deluxe edition of his gold-selling Indigo. The expanded edition features 10 additional tracks with features from Davido, DaniLeigh, Rich The Kid and Sage The Gemini. 

The standard edition of Indigo dropped in July 2019 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album, which was certified gold by the RIAA nearly two months after its release, includes Brown’s Grammy-nominated hit “No Guidance” featuring Drake. 

The success of “Under the Influence” comes in the midst of Brown’s campaign for his tenth studio album, Breezy. 

Released in June, Breezy debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 2 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart.

A week after releasing Breezy, he followed up with Breezy (Deluxe), which included guest appearances from Anderson .Paak and Davido. 

Speaking of Davido, he is a co-writer on “Under the Influence,” along with Brown, Tiffany McKie and Kiddmoninant.
