Normani’s freshly-released single “Candy Paint” is already making a splash on Billboard.
The R&B-pop star’s new summer banger debuts at No. 2 on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, currently led by Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby.” It’s Normani’s fifth consecutive top 5 hit since 2018’s “Waves” featuring 6LACK. It’s worth noting out of Normani’s seven entries on this chart, four of them have landed in the top two spots.
Here’s a breakdown of Normani’s top 5 hits on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, in order by peak:
- “Wild Side” featuring Cardi B, No. 1 for one week (2021)
- “Fair,” No. 1 for one week (2022)
- “1:59” featuring Gunna, No. 2 peak (2024)
- “Candy Paint,” No. 2 peak so far (2024)
- “Waves” featuring 6LACK, No. 4 peak (2018)
Normani’s other two entries on this chart are “Slow Down” with Calvin Harris (No. 14 peak in November 2018) and Jessie Reyez’s “Body Count,” which features Normani and Kehlani (No. 11 peak in September 2018).

“Candy Paint” is the second single, following “1:59,” from Normani’s highly anticipated debut album, Dopamine, out June 14 on RCA Records.
“I feel like [Dopamine] embodies everything I wanted to say – it feels dominant, strong, assertive – but on the flipside, there are so many layers to it. You get the highs, the lows, the thrill of it all. And it’s a little toxic, too,” Normani told Dazed in a recent interview.
