I wonder if it'll be a weekly show or sumn of the like, cause she could be dropping more tracks from the new albums while she has momentum!

Brandy & Monica Combine for Over 20 Million U.S. Song Streams After Verzuz Battle
Brandy and Monica's record-setting Verzuz viewership translated into major gains for both singers' streaming totals after the event. Combined, the pair registered 21.9 million U.S. on-demand streams for their song catalogs from Aug. 31 through Sept. 2, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, a period comprising the day of the competition and two days after of residual fan activity. That total compares to 6.3 million U.S. on-demand streams in the three days leading up to the broadcast (Aug. 28-30), a surge of 248%. Of the 21.9 million streaming total, Monica's catalog accounted for 11.2 million plays, while Brandy's songs clocked 10.9 million streams. Monica seized the win for the biggest individual streaming song, with new single "Trenches" (featuring Lil Baby), which she debuted halfway through the set. The release pulled 1.2 million U.S. on-demand streams in its first three days. Beyond that, her next highest totals came from "So Gone," which nabbed 840,000 clicks, a 142% improvement from 356,000 before the event, and a trio of tunes from her 1995 debut album, Miss Thang: "Why I Love You So Much" (764,000; up 168%), "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" (518,000, up 218%) and "Before You Walk Out of My Life" (499,000; up 218%).

Brandy's albums overall are WAY stronger than Monica's but y'all go off.
What is everyone's opinion on Makings of Me? I think it's her worst album "Sideline Ho" is the only song I return to and "Hell No (Leave Home)" is decent.
She redeemed herself with "Still Standing" but I think that was her last great album overall. "New Life" was decent but lackluster and "Code Red" was a HUGE disappointment after such a strong lead single
I've liked every single from "Trenches" so I have my fingers crossed for a good album.

I had extremely low expectation for that album because I'm not a fan of "Everytime Tha Beat Drop" but fortunately it does not represent the sound of that album at all. "A Dozen Roses" and "Hell No (Leave Home)" are my favorites there, "Sideline Ho"/"Raw"/"Why Her?" come second. But overall I still bop to that album without any skip except for its lead single 🙄🙄 She redeemed herself with "Still Standing" but I think that was her last great album overall. "New Life" was decent but lackluster and "Code Red" was a HUGE disappointment after such a strong lead single Agree with you on every sentence here. |

I actually didn't think The Makings of Me was all that bad. It was tolerable. New Life was good, not quite on the same level as Still Standing, but still good. Her weakest album to me was definitely Code Red. Only liked a few tracks from it. Concerning albums, Brandy and Monica are about the same to me. They both have some really strong records, and a few duds. |

Whenever I listen to Mon, After the Storm and Miss Thang are my albums of choice. TBIM is next, its singles were great and I love Take Him Back/Ring da Bell/Gone Be Fine as well.
Makings of Me would be fourth, def her album tracks were highlights like Raw, Why Her?, Gotta Move On and Getaway. Still Standing was one of my favs too but somehow I barely listen to it anymore.
New Life is mediocre and I only like a handful of songs in it like Without You and It All Belongs to Me. Code Red is def her worst but Just Right for Me and Ocean of Tears were good.
I definitely liked her better when she didn't try to oversing much.

If I were to rank her albums, in terms of how much I replayed them:
After the Storm
The Boy is Mine
New Life
Miss Thang
The Makings of Me
All Eyez on Me
Still Standing
Code Red
