Coi Leray is proud of her album sales, and she’s ready to fact check those who don’t get their numbers right.  The “Blick Blick” MC took to Twitter Monday to respond to DJ Akademiks after he claimed her new album Trendsetter sold 9,000 units in its first week. As Leray, and the charts themselves, insist, […]

Latto is rightfully celebrating herself.  After her album 777 hit No. 15 on the Billboard 200 this month, and as her hit “Big Energy” bounces around the top of the Hot 100—No. 4 currently, previously peaking at No. 3—the artist isn’t letting anyone take her sunshine away.  “It’s really crazy how y’all try to take my happiness […]

Fresh off earning his first No. 1 solo album on the Billboard 200, Lil Durk’s seventh studio effort, 7220, becomes the Chicago rapper’s first full-length release to spend multiple weeks atop the chart. Four weeks since debuting at No. 1, 7220 has reclaimed the crown this week despite moving just 47,000 equivalent album units, 46,000 of which are made up of […]

Meek Mill has questioned the amount of attention given to first week numbers, as well as the music industry’s competition-spurring Friday release strategy. As anyone who’s even remotely invested in the industry news cycle can attest, multiple headlines are typically spurred each week in connection with first week sales and streaming numbers (i.e. early projections […]

Coi Leray reminds fans that numbers aren’t everything. DJ Akademiks reported this week that Leray’s debut album, Trendsetter, was expected to move 11,000 units in its first week. If the figures are correct, the project will move about 35,000 fewer units than Lil Durk’s 7220 effort, which is expected to take the top spot again next week. Though […]

Fivio Foreign’s latest project is headed for a top-10 debut. According to early projections shared by HitsDailyDouble, the Brooklyn rapper’s B.I.B.L.E is expected to sell 29,000 units in its first week. The figure would put Fivio at the No. 10 spot on U.S. charts, a respectable position for the MC’s debut effort.  B.I.B.L.E, which arrived nearly two years after Fivio’s […]

Lil Baby’s My Turn is still going strong. According to Billboard, the 2020 studio album has logged 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart—marking the longest top-tier run in the chart’s history. The previous record-holder was Post Malone with Hollywood Bleeding, which spent 84 weeks in the top 10 between 2019 and 2021. Prior to […]

Lil Durk is headed toward a huge milestone. According to projections published by Hits Daily Double, the Chicago native is expected to top the Billboard 200 charts with 7220, his long-awaited studio album that arrived on Friday. The record is projected to move 120,000 to 130,000 album equivalent units within its first week, which will effectively end the Encanto soundtrack’s […]

The artist formerly known as Kanye West has added another platinum album to his name.  Ye’s 10th studio album, Donda, has officially been certified platinum by the RIAA, landing over 1 million equivalent album sales since its August 2021 release.  Donda is Ye’s 9th solo LP to reach this landmark, with his only solo albums not having yet […]

Nicki Minaj is sending love to the Barbs this Valentine’s Day.  After a No. 2 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single “Do We Have A Problem?” with Lil Baby, Nicki took to Twitter on Monday to announce that she doesn’t “need to GO #1. I AM #1. There’s a difference.” In addition to her […]
