Rapper NF hits #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 with his third album Perception, earning 55,000 equivalent album units, 38,000 of which were traditional album sales. The album’s chart success was driven by NF (real name Nate Feuerstein) ‘s devoted fan base and the single “Let You Down.”
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers‘ Greatest Hits was at #2 once again, following the recent passing of the rocker. Rapper Lil Pump arrives at #3 with his eponymous debut release. Stoney from Post Malone climbs to #4, giving the rapper his highest position yet, almost 10 months after the release of the record. Country artist Kane Brown‘s self-titled release flies from #56 up to #5 thanks to a recent reissue with bonus tracks, including his new #1 single “What If’s.”
A Boogie Wit da Hoodie is at #6 followed by Lil Uzi Vert at #7. Rocker Marilyn Manson notches his ninth album in the top ten, with Heaven Upside Down debuting at #8.
The top ten is filled out by Imagine Dragons at #9 and Ed Sheeran at #10.
