Fans eagerly anticipated Chloe Bailey's debut album "In Pieces" over the past few months, with the singer promoting it extensively on social media and in interviews. However, a week after the release, followers expressed dismay over the album's low sales. How did the R&B artist respond to this news?

Vibe reported that social media users shared varying opinions on the album, with many surprised that Beyoncé's protégé sold only a few thousand units of her latest project.

Featuring a collaboration with Chris Brown, the album debuted at number 119 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling just 10,000 units (via Chart Data).

Supporters quickly defended Bailey's low sales, with one user emphasizing that she created the record for artistic expression, not chart success.

One fan commented, "Y'all don't realize that she made this album for the arts and not for the charts... Like leave sister alone!... The problem is y'all are so unwilling to let artists grow. Y'all expect them to be getting #1 hits and #1 albums straight out the gate."

Chloe Bailey Responds to Album Sales Reaction Following the release of her album sales data, Chloe Bailey appeared to address the situation on her official Twitter account.

She tweeted, "in pieces was about letting go & trusting myself. I've enjoyed every moment of it and I love everyone who listened to it. tour starts tomorrow in Chicago and I'm so ready to perform these songs for y'all," accompanied by a burning heart emoji.
