J. Brown’s “True Love” charts a successful course to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay radio ranking as it rises from No. 2 to crown the list dated June 21. The song gives Brown his third champ on the chart.
“True Love,” released and promoted through the independent label MoCha, wins the top spot as the most played song on panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations in the United States for tracking week of June 6-12, according to Luminate. Although the single remained basically even in plays compared to its prior week’s total, it emerges victorious thanks to last week’s leader, 803fresh’s “Boots on the Ground,” losing 12% of its plays and sliding 1-4 on the chart.
With “True Love,” J. Brown lands his third Adult R&B Airplay No. 1, following both of his immediate predecessor entries. “My Whole Heart” reigned for three weeks in 2023, while “If You Could See You” topped the list for one week last year.
