Special Occasion debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200, selling about 92,000 copies in its first week, just over one-half of his previous album's first-week sales.[10] It also peaked at the top of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[11][12] By mid-2009, the album had sold approximately 550,000 copies in the US.[13]
