Lil Baby made it back-to-back weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.  My Turn returned to the top spot on the Billboard 200 last week, more than three months after finishing in first in its debut week. Lil Baby’s second studio effort is now the third album this year to spend, at least, three weeks at No. 1, joining […]

Lil Baby‘s My Turn has returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart following a 13-week hiatus from the top spot. It’s the biggest gap for a return to No. 1 since the soundtrack for A Star Is Born took 17 weeks to make it back atop Billboard in March 2019. Lil Baby scored his first Billboard No. 1 in early March after My […]

Lady Gaga’s latest album Chromatica had a stellar debut, scoring the pop star her sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

Approximately 205,000 of the sales came from albums, […]

As anticipated, Gunna’s latest album, Wunna, debuted in the top spot of this week’s Billboard 200.  The album came out nine days ago, racking up sales of 111,000 equivalent album units through its first week of availability, almost all of which came from streaming activity, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Previously, Gunna had topped out at the No. […]

6ix9ine has continued to stoke fires all over the timeline. Now the rapper has set his sights on Doja Cat following accusations of her being racist. This week, Doja took to Instagram Live to further address the situation. Toward the end of the session, she discussed what it meant for her that her Nicki Minaj-featuring “Say So” remix reached No. […]

Future‘s High Off Life punched in at No. 1 on the most recent Billboard 200 chart, after earning 153,000 equivalent album units for its debut week (which ran through May 21). 16,000 of those units came from album sales, while almost all the others were streamed. These numbers fall slightly short of what was projected […]

In response to 6ix9ine‘s impassioned allegations of chart manipulation following the No. 1 debut of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande‘s new charity-supporting “Stuck With U” single, Billboard has shared a detailed breakdown reminding the world how they arrive at their tabulations each week. “Stuck With U,” of course, was up against 6ix9ine’s own “GOOBA” for the […]

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, […]

6ix9ine is convinced Billboard is cheating him out of a No. 1 single. On Friday, the Brooklyn rapper posted an Instagram video where he doubled down on his suggestion that Billboard was manipulating the Hot 100 charts and playing “favorites.” He presented forecasts that were purportedly sent to major record labels on Thursday. The initial email […]
