    Released: June 25, 2021

Planet Her is the third studio album by American rapper and singer Doja Cat, released by Kemosabe and RCA Records on June 25, 2021. The album features guest appearances by Young Thug, Ariana Grande, the Weeknd, JID, and SZA, in addition to production from frequent collaborators such as Dr. Luke, Y2K, Tizhimself and Yeti Beats, who executively produced the record alongside Doja Cat.

Primarily a pop, R&B and hip hop album, Planet Her is named after the fictional planet imagined by Doja Cat. She emphasized the visual aspect of the record and has described it as her most visually captivating project yet, prioritizing its cohesion by associating its music videos to different locations on the planet. Upon release, Planet Her received generally positive reviews from music critics, most of whom praised its versatility and vocal deliveries, but cited predictability and trend-chasing production as its flaws.

The album's lead single, "Kiss Me More" featuring SZA, was released on April 9, 2021, and reached the top three in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The second single, "You Right" with the Weeknd, was released alongside the album was released. A promotional single, "Need to Know", was released on June 11, 2021. Apart from reaching the top 10 in over a dozen countries, Planet Her became Doja Cat's highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 after peaking at number two with 109,000 album-equivalent units moved in its first week. It earned the biggest opening day for any album by a female rapper in Spotify history.

Background and recording

Doja Cat rose to prominence in August 2018 as a "meme star" and internet phenomenon with the novelty song "Mooo!".[2][3] Doja Cat released her second studio album Hot Pink in November 2019, and spent most of 2020 promoting its singles.[4] In August 2020, she told MTV that her then-untitled third studio album would incorporate multiple music genres and that each song had its own "personality".[5][6] Later in September 2020, Doja Cat revealed that her third studio album was complete and "all ready" for release.[7][8] She also told iHeartRadio in December that it has a number of features and collaborations, and that each song has a "different kind of vibe" to one another.[9]

I think in the beginning, I was just trying to be solid and be what a pop artist already was: what I'd seen on TV and what I thought was the right thing to do. But as I move on into this Planet Her era, I want to introduce things to people as opposed to just re-create and rehash. It's just more inspiring to start from a more innovative spot.

Doja Cat in an interview, Billboard.[10]

Recording for the album took place between 2018 and 2021. Doja Cat previewed the album tracks "Payday", "Ain't Shit" and "Love to Dream" while on Instagram livestreams in April 2020, May 2020 and May 2021 respectively.[11]: 10:26 [12][13] She recorded the final vocals for the opening track, "Woman", a month before the album was released.[14]: 52:00  The album was largely recorded between The Sound Factory and Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California by American recording engineer Rian Lewis,[15] who wrote that Doja Cat produced all her own vocals from inside the booth with "with impeccable precision and intention," and that "every harmony, every massive stack, every backing vocal in a character voice... those are all her ideas, 100%."[16] The other portion of songs were recorded at home by Doja Cat and her boyfriend[17] American record producer Y2K while they were in COVID-19 lockdown together.[18][15][11]

In April 2021, shortly after confirming its title, Doja Cat said that Planet Her is the first record that "feels fully her own" and that "instead of striving to be a certain kind of pop star, she's simply embodying one".[10] She said that like her previous record Hot Pink (2019), each song would be distinctly different from one another, yet there would be more cohesion on Planet Her as opposed to Hot Pink.[19] Before its release, Doja Cat expressed her excitement about releasing R&B music and "exploring different lanes", ultimately describing the album as "unbelievable".[19]

Concept

Title

Doja Cat was inspired by the "lush looks" of TOI 1338b while envisioning the visual Planet Her concept.[20]

Doja Cat has explained that Planet Her is "the center of the universe" where "all races of space exist and its where all species can kind of be in harmony there".[21] She noted that by naming the album Planet Her, she was "just trying to be cute" and clarified that it is not a planet for women nor a "feminist thing".[21] The music videos for the singles from the album all occur on different locations on the planet,[21][22] and aim to explore the respective aspects of these locations and what they mean.[23] In an interview with iHeartRadio, she described the album as the most visually captivating project she has ever done, and noted that, because the album focuses on relationships, "it's not a huge statement, not a political statement. It's just Planet Her, for girls".[24]

I wanted to kind of go outside of what I understood [or] what I knew as pop aesthetic or rap aesthetic [et cetera]. I wanted to quite literally travel outside of the planet. When it comes to the videos and choice of words and melodies and combinations musically, I wanted it to feel different. I wanted it to feel otherworldly. So, I just named it Planet Her.

— Doja Cat on the inspiration behind the album title in an interview with MTV News.[23]

Creative director Brett Alan Nelson revealed that he initially felt worried when Doja Cat told him that she wanted the record to "feel space age", however he explained further: "We're doing a style of futurism that feels fresh. We don't know what our actual future holds, so we are making what Doja Cat's future is. It doesn't feel like we're paying homage to something; it doesn't seem like we're on the same Pinterest board as everyone else."[10]

Album art

The album cover was shot by American commercial photographer David LaChapelle.[25] It finds Doja Cat "boldly claiming her place among the stars"[20] and "floating in a sea of outer space, her body adorned with sparkles and swatches of paint as she appears in a state of ecstasy."[26] There were a number of different photographs taken amongst different sets, yet Doja Cat chose the final shot as it was her initial idea and felt set on it from the start.[27]: 00:23  Although it appears as if she is flying in the image, Doja Cat claims that she is submerged in rock after having fell from space, but said that it is "left for your interpretation".[27]: 00:48 

Reception

Insider interpreted through the album's music and lyrics that "Planet Her" is a place where "midday skies are streaked with pink and orange" and where "following your sexual urges is uncomplicated and morally good, where the feminine is divine and it's summer year-round."[28] Rolling Stone described the planet as an "exquisitely strange and spectacularly camp world" and noted that "there's a bit of cheeky, sci-fi B movie references in the presentation but the content [of the album] itself is pristine pop fun."[29]

By reflecting the everyday into science fiction contexts that incorporate video game, comic book and cyberpunk imagery, Doja manages to conquer these landscapes, her psychedelic qualities on full display. This manages to solve the divide between Afro-futurism's darker side and suburban leisure's levity: Doja Cat sees the future as the possibility for utopia and connects it to its roots in current iconography.

— John Wohlmacher in an album review for Beats Per Minute.[20]

Music and lyrics

Planet Her is primarily a pop, R&B and hip hop record,[30][31][32] yet was described as a "genre smorgasbord"[33] since it features a wide range[34] of different genres and styles such as afrobeat,[35][36] reggaeton,[37] hyperpop,[38] pop-rap,[39] urbano,[40] disco,[41][42] trap,[43][29] funk,[29] mumble rap,[40] bubblegum,[29][26] and dancehall.[28][33] Lyrical themes of the record include sex, relationships, regret, lust, solitude, wealth, divine femininity, faithfulness and estrangement.[44][34][45] The album opens with a string of "funky," "fun" and "upbeat" tracks and towards the second half, the tempo mostly slows down for the more "introspective" tracks and Doja Cat "drifts from her usual raunchy lyricism to try out lovesick lullabies and heartbreak ballads, allowing the music to slow and a newfound vulnerability to emerge."[46][20][34] However one critic wrote that on the surface, the album is "almost entirely mid-tempo and defined by a certain lightness of touch."[45]

The opening track, "Woman", is "an empowering, unabashed ode to womanhood and feminine diversity" which also explores the thoughts, emotions and woes of being a woman.[47][48] A bright, sexy and high-energy afrobeat song,[49][28][44][50] it was co-written by American rapper Jidenna who also provides background vocals to the track.[51][29] In the lyrics, Doja Cat also details how patriarchy often tries to create competition by putting women against each other, and thus makes a reference to Regina George from Mean Girls (2004).[44][28] Critics compared her vocal delivery on the track to that of Rihanna (whom she name-drops in the song),[37][52] and her "gravelly" rap delivery to that of Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak.[53][37] "Naked" features an "enticing" and "airy" reggaeton rhythm which draws from dancehall and is led by a "sultry" vocal performance.[51][39][28] It was described as a "lascivious, invigorating track, filled with flirtatious lyrics"[20] which invite her partner to get frisky through comedic pick-up lines, without caring about if others stumble upon them.[44] Critics noted that the song is an exploration into "the anxiety of intimacy"[41] and also doubles as "a how-to for feeling confident with your own body and sexuality" which promotes the idea that "it's not abnormal for people to be openly sexual".[44] Both "Woman" and "Naked" are driven by steel drums and pulsing bass.[46] The third track, "Payday" featuring American rapper Young Thug, is a "quick and twinkling" hyperpop and digicore song driven by "complex, baroque" harpsichord and both artists' "childlike falsetto" which altogether channels "giddy trap-pop euphoria."[37][39][3][54][55] Doja Cat celebrates her wealth and fame in a high register,[44] and notably sings "I just can't believe I got what I wanted all my life".[43] Several critics wrote that as "the king of delightfully odd vocal deliveries", Young Thug was the perfect and only match for the "artsy-cool-kid energy" of Doja Cat, whom he only just "outweirds" in their "impressively weird, strained high voices".[39][56][28][55]

On "Get Into It (Yuh)", Doja Cat borrows from the early works of rapper Nicki Minaj, whom she thanks in the song.

A "squeaky swag" rap song featuring "glitchy", "twinkling" and "quirky" production influenced by dancehall and bubblegum,[39][46][57][37][26] "Get Into It (Yuh)" is a tribute to Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, whom Doja Cat thanks directly for "paving the way for her polished pop-rap career" by saying "Thank you Nicki, I love you!" towards the end of the song.[39][44][48][2] Throughout the song she borrows the unique rapid-fire flow Minaj commonly used in her early career and even interpolates the lyric "Got that big rocket launcher" from her 2010 debut single "Massive Attack".[36][44][58] "Need to Know" is a "grinding sex jam" which finds Doja Cat fantasizing about her sexual desires over an "icy" trap and R&B instrumental.[45][44][37] Throughout the song, Doja Cat's "dense triplet flow is layered over futuristic disco production, segueing seamlessly into a disjunct, electronic UFO melody emphasising the space theme of [Planet Her]."[41] "I Don't Do Drugs" featuring American singer Ariana Grande was described as a "featherlight R&B glide",[45] a "perfect pop-rap ballad,"[39] and a "masterclass in the airy R&B vibe" found in most of Grande's work.[37] Its "candy-coated" production is driven by "whimsical xylophone" and "exploding bass",[46] which makes it feel "almost tropical."[28] The song is both a "whispery celebration of new love" and a "somber rumination" on which the duo utilize breathy harmonies to compare their suitors to drugs which have them "fucked up".[46][59][51][48] "Love to Dream" is a downtempo, ethereal, wistful space-age pop and R&B ballad driven by a downcast, distorted guitar lead and Doja Cat's high "crystalline falsetto" vocals.[31][49][20][45][51][54] The song is about "fantasizing and reminiscing about an ex" who'd felt inadequate because of Doja Cat's "penchant for overthinking", so she explains how "her inability to get out of her own head eventually led to the slow dissolution of her romance" which is why she "feels regretful for not being a better partner after the breakup".[13][44][51]

"You Right" featuring Canadian singer The Weeknd is a slow, seductive pop song inspired by classic 1990s R&B[60][52][20] A "sexy, atmospheric slow-burn"[28] driven by "slick and twinkling keyboards",[44] it sees Doja Cat finding herself wanting something different despite already being in a committed relationship, to which The Weeknd responds by urging her to give into her desires and leave her partner, reminding her that it's only human nature to sometimes have fantasies about other people.[60][52][44] Pitchfork noted that "the longing and yearning in her restrained pre-chorus segues effortlessly into a resigned hook."[54] "Been Like This" addresses manipulative behaviour,[41] and portrays more of a "melancholy emotional spin on physical connection."[37] Over a gentle trap beat and through pitched down vocals which help it "fulfill modern pop's atmospheric ballad requirement", Doja Cat processes her shifting feelings for a partner after noticing how they've changed and become more toxic, making it a "darkly" and "seductive" track that becomes one of the most reflective on the album.[44][46][57] "Options" featuring American rapper JID is a "solid rap song" which features 808s[54] and a Mayer Hawthorne-assisted "hard-synth", muffled and "slightly off kilter" flute loop "doused in reverb" that reminded critics of the popularization of flute loops in 2017 hip hop songs such as "Mask Off" by Future.[28][37][55] Throughout the song Doja Cat raps in a staccato tempo about getting "rough and frisky" with her sexual partner in various locations.[53][44] "Ain't Shit" was noted to feature Doja Cat's "beloved dry humor", "rapped eye rolls", a "falsetto refrain", and "a rightfully fed up attitude of the opposite sex."[52][46] Over a 1990s R&B rhythm, she sings about "immature, unfaithful men who have wronged and hurt her" through "gratifyingly childish insults and a villainous delivery."[44][61] At one point, Doja Cat hinted at the release of this song as a single under the title "N.A.S" shortly after being dissed by American rapper Nas on his 2020 single "Ultra Black".[62][63]

The sparkly, midtempo production on "Imagine" combines a trap bassline with traditional East Asian music.[51][53] Doja Cat she sings about luxury and the high life and reflects about how, in order to get there, she had to overcome obstacles such as people not believing in her.[51][44] She has expressed minor disdain towards "Imagine," describing it as a "filler" and "not the strongest" song on the record. She also said that it was supposed to be "bigger" with help from one of her favourite artists, but felt that the song was not deserving of this feature.[14]: 12:20  The penultimate song, "Alone", is "a lonely-at-the-top acoustic number in which [Doja Cat] learns to accept her solitude".[46] Driven by classic, laidback acoustic guitar plucking and anguished, operatic baritone echoes,[28][51][54][44] it recalls a 2000's blend of pop and R&B which was noted to be influenced by the works of American record producer Timbaland.[28] The final track on the standard edition, "Kiss Me More" featuring American singer SZA, is a disco-influenced ode to kissing.[51] Described as "breezy", "flirtatious" and "cheeky", both artists' verses "give way to real horniness," and "show that romance and sex together can be both sugary and spicy at the same time."[51][44] One of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edtion, "Tonight" featuring American rapper Eve, is a "slinky duet" that takes place over "over plucked guitars, chiming bells and a spare beat" produced by Doja Cat herself.[64][65]

Release and promotion

Doja Cat first introduced the term "Planet Her" in August 2020 during the opening sequence of her performance at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, where she impersonated a television commentator and stated "Performing live on Planet Her is Doja Cat. Enjoy!".[66][67] In late December 2020, she began subliminally teasing the album on Twitter by repeatedly tweeting the phrase "Planet Her 2021" over the course of a few weeks.[68][69] On January 5, 2021, Doja Cat followed eight musicians on the platform and subsequently tweeted "Following them for a reason. Guess why.", alluding to imminent collaborations with the followed artists.[70][71][72]

The title of the album, Planet Her, was confirmed in an interview with American magazine V in March 2021.[73][74] The existence of the album track "Kiss Me More", featuring SZA, was confirmed in the same interview.[75] In the following month, Doja Cat revealed that the song "You Right" with the Weeknd would serve as the second single from Planet Her in a cover story interview with Billboard.[76][77] The existence of the track "Need to Know" was also revealed at the same time.[10] After announcing the release of this song as a promotional single on June 9,[78] Doja Cat then used social media to announce the album's release date and reveal the artwork and track listing on June 10.[79][80] The album was made available for pre-order on June 11, the same day "Need to Know" was released.[81]

Planet Her was issued worldwide on June 25, 2021 at midnight[82] local time, by Kemosabe and RCA Records, Doja Cat's third to be released under this contract. The standard edition has only yet been released on digital download and streaming formats, with a limited release of only a few thousand CDs on Doja Cat's online store.[83][84] A deluxe edition of the album was released two days later on June 27 with no prior announcement from Doja Cat,[85][86] and has also only yet been limited to digital download and streaming formats.[83] The standard edition will be released on CD format in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2021.[87]

Singles

"Kiss Me More" featuring SZA, was released as the lead single off the album on April 9, 2021.[88][89] The song was serviced to contemporary hit radio, rhythmic contemporary radio and adult contemporary radio formats in the United States,[90][91][92] as well as on contemporary hit radio formats in Russia and Italy.[93][94] It topped the charts in New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore, and also reached the top 5 in over a dozen countries such as the United States (No. 3), Canada (No. 5), the United Kingdom (No. 3), Australia (No. 2)[95] and Ireland (No. 2). The song also became Doja Cat's second-ever song to reach number one on both Billboard's US Rhythmic and Top 40 radio charts.[96][97] It has been awarded certification status in half a dozen countries, including gold in the United Kingdom from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), and platinum in Australia from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[98][95]

"Need to Know" was released as the first promotional single from the record on June 11,[99] after having been announced two days earlier.[78][100] Its corresponding music video was directed by duo Miles & AJ and features cameo appearances from Canadian musician Grimes and American actress Ryan Destiny.[101] With little to none airplay, the song debuted at number 29 on the Billboard Global 200 as well as within the top 40 of countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

"You Right" featuring The Weeknd was released as the second official single in tandem with Planet Her and its Quentin Deronzier-directed music video on June 25.[66] The song debuted at number 11 in the United States,[102] Australia,[103] and Ireland,[104] and peaked within the top 10 in Canada (No. 10),[105] New Zealand (No. 6),[106] and the United Kingdom (No.9).[107]

Other notable songs

While on Instagram livestream in August 2020, Doja Cat hinted at her plans of releasing the song "Ain't Shit" as a single under the title "N.A.S", but this release failed to materialize.[108][109] She had previewed the song on another Instagram livestream in early April 2020, and it soon gained traction on the video-sharing platform TikTok.[110][111] It was included as the eleventh track on the album and was the highest-charting album cut, debuting at 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the its opening week.[112]

Live performances

Doja Cat performed five songs from Planet Her for the first time in the pictured Coney Island concert on July 4, 2021.

Doja Cat performed a solo version of "Kiss Me More" for the first time at Triller's inaugural Fight Club event in April 2021.[113] At the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in May 2021, Doja Cat and SZA performed this song together,[114] notably including a dance break which featured the instrumental from the then-unreleased album track "Naked".[citation needed] Doja Cat again performed a solo version of the song within a medley at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards later that month.[115] During a solo virtual concert as part of American Express's "Unstaged" campaign in June 2021, SZA performed her verse from the song as well as the introduction and chorus usually sung by Doja Cat.[116] She performed it in the same manner during a solo virtual concert as part of Grey Goose's "In Dream" campaign on July 2, 2021.[117]

To celebrate both the release of Planet Her and Independence Day, American live music company The Day Party hosted a Doja Cat concert at Coney Art Walls in New York City on July 4, 2021.[118][119] It was here where she performed five songs from the record, notably debuting "Get Into It (Yuh)", "Ain't Shit", "Need to Know" and "Woman".[120] The organization of the concert, however, drew criticism from some attendees, who compared it to the Fyre Festival and deemed it a "horror comedy-drama".[119] On July 10, she continued to celebrate the album release at E11even, a private nightclub in Miami, where she notably slipped and fell while on stage and earned praise for playing it off and carrying on with the performance.[121][122][123] Through this month of July 2021, music video network company Vevo is conducting a series of Doja Cat performances of songs from Planet Her, all filmed on a set with gold structures amongst a Californian desert:[124][125] Her performance of album track "Ain't Shit" was published on July 3,[126] followed by a performance of "Love to Dream" on July 6.[127]

Planet Her received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 to ratings from publications, the album received an average score of 76 based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[129] The album received retrospective acclaim from critics who expressed that Doja Cat is "here to stay," despite her controversial past and flippant personality.[131][48][49][45][2] Rolling Stone wrote that despite being her third album, Planet Her "feels like a debut".[29] Exclaim! wrote that it has "no skips" and that it "showcases many sides to Doja but remains cohesive".[63] The New Yorker expressed that it brings her "genre fluidity into perfect synthesis, building upon the pop-rap legacy established by her predecessor Nicki Minaj," noting that "Doja relishes stimulation, from paydays to addictive intimacy."[40]

The quality of production was praised by several critics,[48][26][54][20][57][55][37] yet some others criticized it for chasing common mainstream trends,[43] with Loud and Quiet noting that the album "shines when Doja Cat follows her impulses rather than trends".[61] More than anything else, Doja Cat received all-round praise for her "elastic, swift and often purposefully silly"[29] vocal delivery and her ability to switch flows between rapping and singing,[45][29][39] with one critic writing that her vocals "show a juxtaposition of ethereal falsetto and chocolatey contralto in close proximity".[41] She also was praised for her ability to "shapeshift" in order to match with the respective featured artists,[52] with Triple J noting that throughout the album "Doja holds her own - an impressive feat given the profiles of both her collaborators."[33] Several critics recognized this on the track "I Don't Do Drugs," where she "melds her tone to pair with Ariana Grande's signature sultry coos,"[52] and proves herself as "an unexpectedly nimble vocalist."[28] Brandon Yu of Mic agreed that Doja Cat "is not just benefiting from the boost of another superstar, but instead tweaking the energy and voice of her persona to blend with" the respective artists.[132]

Yu also described Doja Cat as "the future of pop" and wrote that Planet Her "crystallizes her effortless, playful energy into a delightfully shape-shifting work. [...] she manages to execute a varied set of identity-swapping performances in a way that feels like a natural mark of her studied, eclectic talents rather than an exercise in chasing trends."[132] Safy-Hallan Farah of Pitchfork described Planet Her as "a kaleidoscope of pop versatility that benefits greatly from a market that currently values eclecticism. It feels both premeditated and casual, well-crafted yet trenchantly frivolous." Farah wrote that Doja Cat "entertains and enthralls with minimal effort, especially in her delivery" as she "skates" on the record's "impeccable" production. She noted that above all else, Doja Cat's "candy-sweet melodies are the star" of the record.[54] Using "Ain't Shit" as an example, Nick Levine of NME wrote that Doja Cat's lyrics "possess a plain-speaking power," while stressing that "it's not so much what she says, but the way that she says it."[45] Beats Per Minute described Planet Her as "the type of pop album there should be more of: both playful and psychedelic, rich in intelligent production, and filled with charismatic and chameleonic performances," noting that Doja Cat "understands the appeal of both the pop-star spectre and syrupy production; everything on Planet Her is contained and refined, but never polished to a fault. She inhabits different characters and moods, her voice never wavering or coming across as too thin for what she attempts."[20]

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian hailed Doja Cat a queen of pop-rap and agreed that she had "nailed a version of 2021 pop that a lot of other people are striving for with a lot more laboured effort." He described Planet Her as a "light, summery, really well-produced and impressively concise record" with "music that plays to Doja Cat's strengths. She can genuinely sing as well as rap – she doesn't sound out of her depth duetting with Grande," noting that she's a skilled lyricist on "flippant and funny" topics rather than essaying weighty topics. He wrote that the album has "music with enough room for a degree of experimentation" but, however, was perplexed by how "an artist so evidently concerned with not taxing her listeners' attention spans" could get away with the "tedi[ous]" string of "insubstantial ballads".[55] Craig Jenkins of Vulture described Planet Her as Doja Cat's best album to date and described her as "our new ice-cool pop-queen supreme".[39] He was one of several critics who compared Planet Her to the early works of eccentric, radical mainstream pop artists such as Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj,[52][29][2] with Sam Murphy of Junkee writing that "from its dramatic vocals to loosely conceptual narrative, [Planet Her] is highly polished, cohesive pop, and yet there's a human warmth to it. [...] Doja somehow entertains the absurd and mundane," noting that she "contains multitudes: She's able to beam down from another planet, acting as both your bestie and bizarre pop thrill seeker."[2]

Commercial performance

In the two consecutive weeks preceding its release, Planet Her was the most pre-saved album on Apple Music.[133][134] With 27.6 million streams worldwide, it earned the biggest first day debut for a female rapper in Spotify history.[135][136][137] It also earned the biggest opening week for a female rapper in Spotify history after accumulating 113.4 million streams worldwide in five days.[138][139][140] Planet Her earned Doja Cat her first-ever big opening week worldwide, considering that the chart success and stability of its predecessor Hot Pink (2019) was largely due to the effect of album-equivalent unit streams on its majorly successful singles such as "Say So", and so Hot Pink only reached most of its peaks worldwide long after its initial release.

In the United States, Planet Her became Doja Cat's highest-charting album as it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 after moving 109,000 album-equivalent units (composed of 96,000 streaming-equivalent units, 10,000 pure album sales, and 3,000 track-equivalent album units).[83] It additionally topped the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and opened at number two on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart behind Tyler, the Creator's Call Me if You Get Lost (2021).[141] The following week, Planet Her propelled up to number one on the latter chart and remained at number two on the Billboard 200 after moving 68,000 album-equivalent units in its second week.[142] Planet Her spent a third consecutive week at number two with 61,000 units sold and became the first album to spend its first three weeks at number two on the chart since The Pinkprint (2014) by Nicki Minaj in January 2015.[143] In Australia it followed a similar pattern by opening at number 3 where it remained at for another two weeks,[144] while dethroning Call Me if You Get Lost on its second week on the Top 40 Hip-Hop/R&B Albums chart, where it stayed at number one for yet another week.[145]

In the United Kingdom, Planet Her debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart where it remained for another week before dropping to number five in its third week.[146] On the Irish Albums Chart it debuted at number four and remained in this position for another two weeks,[147][148][149] before peaking at number 3 in its fourth week.[150]
