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. Similarly, Brandy used the Verzuz platform to bring attention to her current single, "Borderline," which gave the singer her best streaming result of the week. The track, from her B7 album released last month, drew 571,000 on-demand streams Aug. 31-Sept. 2, up 87% from 305,000 in the three days prior to the event. Behind "Borderline," Brandy's top five streamed songs during the period were, respectively, her 1999 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Have You Ever," (555,000; up 153%), "I Wanna Be Down" (496,000, up 116%), "Almost Doesn't Count" (428,000; up 307%) and "Angel in Disguise" (408,000; up 579%). Of course, we can't forget the main event: "The Boy Is Mine." The pair closed the nearly three-hour affair with a karaoke-style performance of sorts, with the classic collab playing in the background as they took turns performing bits of their duet parts. "Boy," which crowned the Hot 100 for 13 weeks in 1998, registered 899,000 U.S. on-demand streams Aug. 31-Sept. 2, up 152% from 356,000 in the three days preceding their showdown.

Human is an underappreciated Brandy album IMO, even by the artist herself. Was no Afrodisiac, but was solid.

Urban radio did spin it but it was overshadowed by Have You Ever being monstrous at the time.

Angel in Disguise was getting airplay on it's own. Radio wanted it an Atlantic ended up releasing Almost doesnt count. I have to laugh.

I'm so glad she included these three amazing tracks : Angel In Disguise - this song is such a vibe :) Put That On Everything (it used to be my favorite song from her) when You Touch Me
"He is" a fan's favorite ? really ? I love this song though.
Both "Full Moon" and "So Gone" still sounds SO good, it was a great battle. I Wanna Be Down/Don't Take It Personal was another great moment.
I loved her adlibs ! She sounds lovely. And when she was singing Monica's parts lmao.
It's clear she had fun doing this battle. That was cool to see.

I thought the VERZUZ effect might help B7 rebound on the charts for a week but it's nowhere to be found.

I always consider “He Is” the third single off FULL MOON. Especially since they made some radio versions like this: It just doesn’t feel like a complete one since no video was made, during a time when every single had one.

But then promo was cut short because of the baby?

I've always considered He Is a single since it was serviced to radio.

"He Is" was serviced to Rhythmic radio and had a couple of radio edits done. I was mad at the time because I liked a few more songs on the album better. Maybe because of her pregnancy or the fact "Full Moon" (single) didn't do that well. It didn't do much. Brandy wasn't all that "Hot" after "What About Us". It did well but you could feel it should have done better back then. Then "Full Moon" under performed compared to what Brandy's last few things did on the charts etc. I love the album but Brandy was starting to fade then and perhaps the lack of promotion didn't help??

Full Moon (the single) was a hit. But not releasing When You Touch Me after was a big mistake. I think it would've been a huge radio hit.
