Pharrell is the first Black Artist to have a #1 Billboard Record since 2012...

Pharrell didn't have a comeback because there wasn't anything to come back from. He's never had an extended dry spell in my opinion.

After blazing the charts for years they didn't have a Top 40 Single from 2007-2012... that's 6 years without a Billboard Hit... also him & Chad had fallen off because of financial issues & that's why you only see "Pharrell Williams" name on placements stemming from 2010 to now...

"Hold On We're Going Home" topped off at #5 I believe...

O ok man, I thought we were talking albums.

Naw... the reason this is kinda a big deal is because in 2004 Billboard only had black artists hit #1 on the Hot100 & 2013 was the first time ever a black artist hadn't hit the Hot100 so Pharrell getting it this early in 2014 is a good sign...

No I salute it. The artists are now adjusting to the different America.

No matter how hard you try to keep certain people down or away in the mainstream, talent eventually captures everyone.

Much respect to Pharrell and The Weekend for coming through.
