Jilly from Philly celebrates her second No. 1 since The Light of the Sun, in 2011 and is the latest R&B album to top the charts, behind Tyreses Black Rose LP.

Womans placement on Billboard is doubly special for Scott, as the album commemorates the 15-year anniversary of her Grammy-winning studio debut, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1.

The songstress is currently on tour promoting her new album, and will stop in Memphis tomorrow.
