Nav‘s Good Intentions landed in the top spot in what turned out to be a crowded week on the Billboard 200 chart. His third studio album earned 135,000 equivalent album units, 73,000 of which came in the form of album sales that were almost entirely driven by bundles that included his latest project in its merch offerings. Kehlani‘s It Was Good Until It Wasn’t finished in second with 83,000 units, […]
