Detroit native Big Sean stunned fans on Halloween when he dropped two surprise tracks, “No More Interviews” and “Bounce Back.” Later that night he made the debut performance of “Bounce Back” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. After impacting at radio last month, “Bounce Back” blasts to the Top 15 on both Urban and Rhythmic charts this week.
I DECIDED., the fifth album since 2011 and the onset of Big Sean’s rocket ship career, follows up Twenty88 (released in April 2016), his collaborative joint project (of the same name) with fellow Def Jam artist, Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Jhené Aiko.
Prior to that, Big Sean lit up 2015 with Dark Sky Paradise, his breakthrough RIAA platinum album that became his first #1 career Soundscan debut. Dark Sky Paradise spun off five top-charted hit singles, starting with the RIAA triple-platinum “I Don’t F**k With You” featuring E-40 (#1 Rap, #1 R&B, Top 10 pop, with over 2.2 million Spotify streams). “IDFWU” was followed by “Paradise” (RIAA gold); “Blessings” (featuring Drake & Kanye West, RIAA 2×-platinum); “One Man Can Change the World” (featuring Kanye West & John Legend, RIAA gold); and “Play No Games” (featuring Chris Brown & Ty Dolla $ign, RIAA gold).
