Caesar’s latest effort starts at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. His last album, released on Golden Child Recordings, entered No. 10 in July 2019. Meanwhile, his acclaimed debut, Freudian, bowed at No. 16 in September 2017.
Never Enough was welcomed onto the Billboard 200 chart at No. 14. Caesar’s previous high mark came when CASE STUDY 01 debuted at No. 17.
Freudian, certified platinum by the RIAA, claimed the No. 25 spot on the main albums chart in its first week.

Of Never Enough, Caesar told Nadeska Alexis of Apple Music, “I want to make music that leads people somewhere as opposed to music that can pacify them or make them feel good. I want to make music that makes people want to change their life. Truly inspiring music.”

Caesar also included “Please Do Not Lean,” his first song release for Republic Records, on Never Enough (Bonus Version).
