DaBaby Topples The Weeknd as 'Blame It on Baby' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200
Fiona Apple, Bad Bunny and Tory Lanez also appear in this week’s top 10.
DaBaby is opening this week strong as Blame It on Baby makes its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, earning a total of 124,000 equivalent album units. Of that number, 110,000 are credited to streaming equivalent album units (158.84 million on-demand streams), 12,000 in album sales and 3,000 in track equivalent album units. This marks the rapper’s second No. 1 opener following KIRK in October 2019.
The new chart leader effectively overthrows The Weeknd‘s After Hours and knocks it down to No. 2 after four consecutive weeks on top. Staying in his place at No. 3 is Lil Uzi Vert with Eternal Atake, followed by Fiona Apple’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters debuting at No. 4. At the halfway point, Lil Baby drops down a spot to No. 5 while Post Malone‘s Hollywood’s Bleeding, Bad Bunny‘s YHLQMDLG and Roddy Ricch‘s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial take Nos. 6, 7 and 8 respectively. Rounding up this week’s top 10 are Rod Wave’s Pray 4 Love and Tory Lanez‘s The New Toronto 3.
Elsewhere in music, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi’s “THE SCOTTS” marked the largest Spotify streaming debut of 2020.
