Chloe Bailey and Chris Brown may already know how it feels to see their names printed in the Billboard Hot 100 for their respective past hits, but early response to their new joint effort, the Hitmaka-produced ‘How Does It Feel,’ suggests the dynamic duo are about to be reintroduced to the feeling.

See what we mean inside.

The Dionne Warwick-sampling jam may have been preceded by controversy ahead of its February 24 arrival to digital shelves, but the naysayers were hushed once they got a load of the tune and its steamy music video.

Soaring on real-time digital charts in the days that followed, the end of the song’s inaugural sales tracking period packed enough punch to premiere it at #7 on the current R&B digital sales chart – making it the week’s top-selling new song on the tally.

Despite the strong debut, which was accompanied by a handsome first-week performance on major streaming platforms, ‘Feel’ failed to crack the Hot 100 this week – opening at #10 on the Bubbling Under chart.

Likely due to absence at radio, the tune’s increased presence on the format in the coming weeks is expected to give just the boost needed to become Bailey’s next charting single ahead of the March 31 release of its official parent album, ‘In Pieces.’
