Yung Miami's top 20 hit and No. 138 album debut hold a lesson

Yung Miami told Billboard News that the success of Spend Dat, her first top 20 hit on the Hot 100, gave her anxiety and pushed her to rework her debut solo album. What is new: Watch Dis, released Oct. 23 with Travis Scott, Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller, debuted at No. 138 on the Billboard 200. The takeaway for independent artists is that a breakout single builds a moment, but turning those listeners into album buyers takes its own plan.
