It includes a number of Billboard chart milestones for the group, an unprecedented representation on the Classical, R&B and New Artist charts that finds Black Violin alongside The Weeknd, Prince and Yo-Yo Ma in addition to their first-ever appearances on the Billboard 200 and Digital charts:

#1 - Classical Crossover
#2 - Classical Overall
#4 - R&B Albums Overall
