It’s Halloween weekend and Chris Brown plans on releasing his 45-track project, Heartbreak on a Full Moon on October 31, so it’s fitting that his single “High End” featuring Future and Young Thug made its debut on the R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts ending on October 23.

Also making a mark on the chart this week is Grammy Award-nominated songstress Andra Day, who broke into the Top 10 at #9 with her single “Rise Up.” And Khalid jumped up three spots to #4 with “Young Dumb & Broke.”

Unsurprisingly, Post Malone remains at #1 with the 21 Savage-assisted “Rockstar,” while Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” holds it down at #2 and Logic clings tight to #3 with “1-800-273-8255.”

Chris Brown, Future & Young Thug Turn “High End” Into A Hit

Chris Brown’s Heartbreak on a Full Moon single “High End” featuring Future and Young Thug earned the highest debut for this week’s R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts at #13.

The music video for Breezy’s new single looks like what a Halloween night with Illuminati initiates would be like. However, the beginning of the video is equipped with a warning stating that it’s actually quite the opposite of what it appears to be and assures the video has nothing to do with the occult. It created a buzz on social media, so naturally, it reeled in folks to see what the fuss was about.

Apparently, people really like “High End” because it racked up 8,468 in pure digital downloads, according to Neilson SoundScan.

Andra Day Reaches The Top 10

Andra Day’s debut album Cheers to the Fall was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Album last year, and now her single “Rise Up” off the project has reached the Top 10 of the R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts at #9.

“Rise Up” has been out since Cheers to the Fall‘s dropped in 2015, amassing a total of 700,403 in digital sales. Sales for the platinum-selling single hit 11,221 this week compared to the 4,739 it did the previous week, a 137 percent increase.

Khalid’s “Young Dumb & Broke” Jumps Up Three Spots

Khalid’s “Young Dumb & Broke” went from #7 to #4 on this week’s R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts. It’s the biggest jump of any artist in the Top 10.

The American Teen cut pushed 13,878 in digital downloads this week, moving his sales total to 204,685. Last week, “Young Dumb & Broke” sales sat at 12,740.
