Eric Benét & Chanté Moore Hit Career Milestones With New No. 1 Duet

Eric Benét and Chanté Moore each achieve a career milestone with their collaboration “So Distracted,” springing four spots to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart. With the new leader, Benét banks back-to-back champs for the first time in the nearly three decades since his first appearance, while Moore lands her first No. 1.

“So Distracted,” released and promoted through Benét’s co-venture JBR Creative Group, tops Adult R&B Airplay as the most-played song on panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations in the United States in the tracking week of June 13-19, according to Luminate. For its coronation week, the single improved 12% in plays compared with the week prior.

As “So Distracted” crowns the chart, it sacks J. Brown’s “True Love” from the summit after the latter’s one-week reign. Last week’s leader drops to No. 4 through a 16% decline in plays.

For Benét, “So Distracted” becomes his fifth No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay. As his previous single, the Tamar Braxton duet “Something We Can Make Love To” also topped the chart, he scores consecutive chart-topping singles for the first time in 24 visits to the radio ranking. Here’s a review of Benét’s No. 1 collection:

“Spend My Life with You,” with Tamia; No. 1 for five weeks, beginning Sept. 25, 1999
“You’re the Only One,” four, Sept. 13, 2008
“Sometimes I Cry,” five, Nov. 13, 2010
“Something We Can Make Love To,” with Tamar Braxton; one, Nov. 23, 2024
“So Distracted,” with Chanté Moore, June 28, 2025

Moore, meanwhile, captures her first Adult R&B Airplay No. 1 with the new leader. She previously reached a No. 2 best with “Chanté’s Got a Man” in June 1999, one of her four top 10s. In addition to the current champ and “Man,” both 2001’s “Bitter” and 2017’s “Real One” peaked at No. 10.

“Something We Can Make Love To” and “So Distracted” are from Benét’s new album, The Co-Star. The collaborative set, released June 6, largely comprises duets with R&B singers including Moore, Braxton, Ari Lennox, India.Arie and Jordin Sparks.

Elsewhere, “So Distracted” pushes 21-20 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop stations. There, the track reached 4.4 million in weekly audience, up 10% from the previous tracking week. The top 20 rebound inches the song closer to its No. 17 peak, achieved last month.
