Tank is making history again. His single "Yes" has reached #1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay chart and Mediabase's Adult R&B Airplay chart, marking his 12th career chart-topper. With this milestone, Tank surpasses Charlie Wilson as the male artist with the most #1s in the chart's history. Only Alicia Keys, with 14, has more.

"Yes," which interpolates Floetry's beloved "Say Yes," is the latest single from Tank's new album EXPERIENCE, out now via R&B Money/BMG. The chart topper caps a landmark year that already includes his 11th #1 with "Control," a viral Verzuz moment, his Broadway debut in Alicia Keys' Hell's Kitchen, and a starring role on television.

[Pre-order] 702 to Release Their Debut Album "No Doubt" On Vinyl for 30th Anniversary

No Doubt (30th Anniversary), the debut album from 702—a project that introduced the Las Vegas trio as one of the era’s most promising female groups. Released on October 8, 1996 via Motown and Biv 10 Records, the album blends hip-hop soul attitude with polished vocal harmonies, capturing the evolving sound of contemporary R&B.

Anchored by standout singles like “Steelo” (featuring Missy Elliott) and “Get It Together,” No Doubt delivers a confident mix of youthful swagger and emotional depth. The production—handled by contributors like The Characters and Donell Jones—fuses groove-heavy beats with melodic hooks, giving the album a distinctive balance between radio-ready appeal and street influence.

Commercially, the album made a strong impact, reaching No. 82 on the Billboard 200 and earning Gold certification in the U.S., fueled by over 500,000 units sold.  Its success helped position 702 as a rising force in the R&B landscape, further amplified by award recognition and charting singles.

No Doubt is more than a debut—it’s a snapshot of late-’90s R&B at a pivotal moment, where girl group harmonies met hip-hop edge. For fans of classic Motown-era reinvention and the golden age of urban soul, this album remains a foundational listen with undeniable attitude and timeless grooves.

New Album: Lalah Hathaway Releases Her Ninth Studio LP "Made In Chicago"

Five-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lalah Hathaway’s new album Made In Chicago is out now.

Rooted in warm, intimate, soulful vocals, Made In Chicago grew out of a single image. Hathaway saw herself in a leather coat, looking out at Lake Michigan with the Chicago skyline in the distance and from there, a flood of music came back to her, echoing her childhood in the city.

Made In Chicago arrives on what would have been the 81st birthday of her father, Chicago-born soul legend Donny Hathaway. Across Made In Chicago’s nine tracks, Lalah creates a lush musical landscape that reimagines her past while projecting her future, drawing from the sounds and experiences that shaped her Chicago upbringing. The result is an illuminating collection of songs with flavors and attitudes that stand apart from anything in her previous work.

New Album: Tank Releases His 11th Studio LP "Experience"

 

Multi-Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tank has officially given fans exactly what the title promises. His 11th studio album, EXPERIENCE, is out now via R&B Money/BMG, bringing a stacked guest list along for the ride. Charlie Wilson, Remy Ma, Kirk Franklin, Lecrae, Eric Dawkins, Zacardi Cortez, Fred Hammond, and MK all appear on the project. The album lands as his current single, "Yes," continues its climb up Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay chart, striking a chord with fans and radio alike and proving that more than two decades into his career, Tank still knows exactly how to move a room.

The 16-track EXPERIENCE finds Tank pushing into house and gospel-inspired sounds fans might not expect, while keeping the rich, in-the-moment storytelling that has made him one of the genre's most trusted voices. The project includes the #1 R&B radio hit "Control," his Janet Jackson-inspired record, the house-inspired "Highlight" with Charlie Wilson and MK, a dance floor-ready record built for late nights, and the gospel-rooted "How I Need You" with Kirk Franklin, Eric Dawkins, and Zacardi Cortez, a song that goes straight back to Tank's church roots.

The focus track, "Rick," is pure funk, the kind that makes you want to get up and dance, with Tank paying homage to the legendary Rick James. And as if the song wasn't already fire, Remy Ma comes through with a heavyweight verse that takes it over the top.

“I had so much fun making this project,” says Tank. “I named it ‘EXPERIENCE' because that is what I wanted my fans to have. Take a ride with me to different places, allowing me to evolve and be creative. This is what R&B looks like at its core.”

The momentum doesn't stop with music. Tank is currently out on the road on The R&B Tour: Raymond & Brown alongside Usher and Chris Brown, bringing his signature live energy to audiences night after night. Along the tour stops, he's been pulling up with free surprise piano pop-ups in cities like Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Dallas. The rooms have been packed wall to wall, the shows are free, and the love has been loud, with fans driving in from all over just to sing along, support the new release, and get a hug.

He's also gearing up for the small screen, with Hulu announcing that Season 4 of its hit series Reasonable Doubt premieres October 6, where Tank steps into the role of Eric Cropper (click here).

EXPERIENCE marks a new chapter for the R&B veteran, one built on everything that has defined this run: the chart dominance, the viral Verzuz moment that turned heads across music and culture, and an expanding presence on the road and on screen. With "Yes" setting the tone and heavyweight features from Charlie Wilson, Kirk Franklin, Lecrae, Remy Ma, and more, the album delivers rich, in-the-moment storytelling that has made Tank one of the genre's most trusted voices. EXPERIENCE is out now!
