Juice WRLD
Legends Never Die, the posthumous new album from the late rapper Juice WRLD, easily debuted at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 with the largest week of any album this year, with 497,000 equivalent album units. According to data from Nielsen Music, not only did Legends Never Die have the largest streaming week of 2020, it also earned the fourth-largest streaming frame ever for an album, with 422.63 million on-demand streams. Legends Never Die also earned 209,000 in album sales, primarily due to many merchandise/album bundle offers. Billboard recently announced it will soon discontinue counting bundled album packages with tickets and merch. It is his second #1 album, following 2019’s Death Race for Love, which was #1 in March of 2019.
Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon falls to #2, which sadly makes the #1 and #2 positions on the chart occupied by posthumous releases, a first on the Billboard chart.
At #3 is the Broadway cast recording of Hamilton: An American Musical, followed by Lil Baby’s My Turn at #4, Post Malone at #5 with Hollywood’s Bleeding, DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby at #6 and Harry Styles with Fine Line at #7.
The second-highest debut of the week comes from singer Summer Walker and her new EP Life on Earth at #8. The top 10 is rounded out by The Weeknd at #9 and Polo G at #10.
