The R&B takeover is real, and Psiryn is leading the charge! The rising trio just made history, earning their first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart with their soulful smash “Sober.” This isn’t just a win—it’s a game-changing moment for girl groups in R&B!
A Record-Breaking Achievement
Psiryn—Anaya Chayenne, Jada Denise, and Victoria McQueen—just became the first all-female group in nearly 23 years to top this chart. The last girl group to pull this off? Floetry with “Say Yes” in 2003. And when it comes to trios? They’re joining the legendary Brownstone, who ruled the charts back in 1995 with “If You Love Me” and “Grapevyne.”
The Climb to No. 1
It wasn’t an overnight success story. “Sober” debuted at No. 23 back in September and kept climbing—even getting stuck at No. 5 for weeks during the holidays. But the people spoke, and the track surged to the top, dethroning Coco Jones’ “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” which held the crown for seven weeks.
📢 Psiryn tells Billboard: “It feels surreal and is an absolute honor. We are the first girl group in 20 years to achieve this, and it feels truly out of this world – we still can’t believe this is happening!”
Why “Sober” Is THAT Song
Beyond its lush harmonies and sleek production, “Sober” resonates because it’s real. The trio says the song’s impact is about relatability—the feeling of needing to step away, hit reset, and breathe in a world that never stops moving.
“People just gravitate toward it, just like we did when we first heard it!” the group says.
Kandi Burruss’ Winning Touch
This historic win also highlights the power of independent labels. “Sober” was released through Kandi Koated Entertainment, the label owned by Kandi Burruss—a woman who knows R&B greatness firsthand. From dominating the charts with Xscape to penning classics for TLC and Destiny’s Child, Burruss is proving she’s got the golden touch in every era.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
The momentum is only getting stronger. “Sober” holds its No. 18 peak on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and saw a 13% jump in audience reach, racking up 6.2 million impressions this week. The movement is real, and Psiryn is just getting started.
KMOB1003’s Take
This isn’t just a No. 1 hit—it’s a movement. Psiryn is proving that R&B girl groups are back in full force, and they’re doing it their way. Flawless vocals. Deep storytelling. Timeless vibes.
