Last week, Lil Nas X attempted to dethrone Drake, but MONTERO's first-week sales of 129k were ultimately not enough to surpass CLB's 170k or so album-equivalent units. Still, Lil Nas X's debut album remains a commercial force, moving 59,869 album-equivalent units and securing the #3 spot on the U.S. albums chart. Kanye West's Donda holds out at the #4 position in its fifth week charting, and Olivia Rodrigo's powerhouse debut SOUR comes in at #5.
Do you think that NBA YoungBoy's ability to replace Drake atop the Billboard 200 cements his placement amongst Hip-Hop's upper echelon? Or was the release of Sincerely, Kentrell just timed well?
