NF’s third studio album Perception shocks the industry by nabbing the coveted No. 1 debut slot in the Billboard Top 200, but this triumph comes as no surprise to fans. Perception became Capital Music Groups’s fastest-selling D2C pre-order of the year. Released just last week, the album is No. 1 on iTunes Overall Top Albums chart and No. 1 on Amazon Top Rap Albums Chart. His headline show at London’s Camden Assembly sold out within minutes of its announcement.
Fan support has allowed the success of Perception to skyrocket. A single off the album, “Let You Down”, is NF’s biggest single to date, surpassing 19.5 million Spotify streams and 4.8 million YouTube/VEVO views in less than 3 weeks. The song soared to No. 2 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 Chart and to No. 3 on the US Viral 50 Chart. Other tracks from the album “Outro” and “Green Lights” also peaked high on Spotify’s US Viral Chart.
“The record,” says Jennie Boddy of Capital Music Group, “tempers moments of fierce, focused, and fiery rapping with airy and entrancing hooks- all performed by NF.” Clearly, fans are appreciating his vocal talents and captivating lyrics as album sales continue to soar. NF has just revealed his touring plans for 2018 with Perception Tour. For details on tour locations and ticket purchases, visit NF’s site.
