Everything to know about GloRilla's debut studio album: Glorious
On October 11, 2024, GloRilla released her debut studio album called Glorious. Released through Interscope Records and Collective Music Group (CMG).
It featured guest appearances from stars like Kierra Sheard, Megan Thee Stallion, Fridayy, Muni Long, Chandler Moore, Sexyy Red, T-Pain, Maverick City Music, Latto, BossMan Dlow, and Kirk Franklin. Glorious was preceded by two singles - TGIF and Hollon.
In an interview with Billboard (published on October 8, 2024), GloRilla provided insights into her experience of working on her debut album. She said:
"Last year, I was supposed to drop my debut album, but I was still just getting used to stuff and working a lot. When the top of the year came, I had the project basically done."
She also revealed the reason behind dropping the mixtape Ehhthang, Ehhthang before releasing her debut album. According to her, fans needed the mixtape to get acclimatized with her work as she hadn't dropped anything for a year before the mixtape.
"I was like, ‘OK, I gotta give them the mixtape before I give them the album,’ because I went the whole year without dropping anything. That’s why I said I was gonna give them the mixtape first, get em’ back used to me first, give ’em a feel of me, and then that’s gonna prep me for the album. The mixtape did good and did what it was supposed to do, which prepped me for my album,” GloRilla explained.
As per Billboard, Glorious debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 list, amassing 69,000 album units sold. It also accumulated a total of 77.9 million streams within a week of release.
GloRilla's debut album ended up spending 15 weeks on the Billboard 200 charts and also peaked at number two in the list of US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (Billboard).
