According to Ratedrnb.com, Alicia Keys is in the top ten of Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart. The Track “Trillions,” featuring Brent Faiyaz has reach number ten for the week of October 8th. Marking the 15 time Grammy winner’s 23rd top ten hit overall, making her just behind Mary J. Blige for the most top tens. She currently holds the record at 25 top tens. “Trillions,” also is Keys’ fifth male-female duet to reach top ten in Adult R&B’s chart. Her first top ten in the chart was her Hot 100 hit, “My Boo,” that featured Usher back in January of 2005. Of Keys’ 23 top ten appearances, 12 of them have reached the number one position.
“Trillions,” is off of KEYS II, the expanded edition of Keys’ 2021 effort, that was co-produced by Faiyaz and Jordan Ware. KEYS II arrived back in August of 2021, and featured new songs with Faiyaz and Lucky Daye. The album had an originals side and an Unlocked side, with the first portion honoring her signature sound. While the other half, is primarily composed of reimagined originals along with the help of Mike WiLL Made-It. Keys told Rated R&B about the unlocked side back in a 2021 interview where she stated that, “It speaks so much to just like there being no limits, which is what KEYS is all about, It was all about imagining and dreaming in a way that just opened up the possibilities.”
Just last month Keys received new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America. She also got a 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awrds nomination for Impact Track.
