In the United States, Brian McKnight peaked at number fifty-eight on the Billboard 200, [3] peaked at number seventeen on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, [4] and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [5] The album produced four singles, all which charted above fifty in the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. [6] McKnight's second studio album, I Remember You , was released in 1995. It peaked at number twenty-two on the US Billboard 200 and reached at number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. [3] [4] It was certified gold by the RIAA and produced three singles, all which charted above twenty-five in the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. [7] [6] McKnight's final record with Mercury was his third studio album, Anytime (1997). It peaked at number thirteen on the US Billboard 200, [3] became his first record to top the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. [4] It was certified double platinum by the RIAA, [8] and produced four singles, three of which charted above fifteen in the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. [6]
McKnight followed with the release of the Christmas album, Bethlehem (1998), his first record for Motown Records. His fifth studio album, Back at One , was released in 1999 and saw him further transitioning from urban adult contemporary into the hip hop soul market. It sold 144,000 units in its first week of release, reaching number seven on the US Billboard 200. McKnight's most successful album to date, [9] it sold more than 3.0 million copies worldwide and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and platinum by Music Canada. The album produced three singles, including its title track which reached number two in the US. [9] McKnight followed this with his sixth studio album, Superhero , released in 2001. It debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, moving 153,000 units in its first week to McKnight's biggest first week sales. However, it failed to duplicate the multi-platinum success of Back at One, going gold. [10] McKnight followed with the release of his first compilation album, From There to Here: 1989-2002 (2002), which peaked at number sixty-two on the Billboard 200 and number 21 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. [4] [3] In 2003 and 2005, McKnight released the studio albums, U-Turn and Gemini , respectively.

Following a label change, McKnight released his ninth studio album, Ten , on Warner Bros. Records in 2006. It peaked at number 32 on the Billboard 200, becoming his lowest-charting single album since his debut album. [3] McKnight followed with the release of the compilation albums Gold (2007) and 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection - The Best of Brian McKnight (2007), which peaked at number sixty-five on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

[4] McKnight's fourteenth studio album, Better, was self-released in 2016. It became his first regular studio album to miss the Billboard 200 and reached number 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. [4] Also in 2016, SoNo Recording Group released his first live album An Evening with Brian McKnight . It peaked at number 29 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
