For Chris Brown, meanwhile, “Come Through” sustains his Adult R&B Airplay success streak with a third consecutive leader. The single follows his two other champs, “No Guidance,” featuring Drake, an 11-week No. 1 in 2020 and “Go Crazy,” with Young Thug, which reigned for seven weeks in 2020-21.
“Come Through” continues the newfound radio breakthrough for Brown with adult R&B audiences. After some success with his initial 14 chart appearances from 2006-16, the hitmaker has grown into a favorite of adult R&B radio programmers and audiences in recent years. In 2019, he found his first top five success on his 15th try, with “Undecided” reaching No. 4 before the three No. 1s streak.
“Come Through” appears on H.E.R.’s debut full-length studio album, Back of My Mind. The set, released in June, debuted at No. 1 on Top R&B Albums and led for one week.
