Additionally, 12 songs from the album are featured on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Lil Baby is kicking off the new year on top, as his monumental new album WHAM has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The album moved 140,000 album units in its first week to become Lil Baby’s fourth consecutive No.1 and seventh top 10 project on the Billboard 200. Additionally, it landed at No.1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.
WHAM’s massive week helped Lil Baby make history on the Billboard Hot 100, where 12 songs from the album debuted, including the runaway streaming hit “Dum, Dumb and Dumber,” featuring Young Thug and Future, at No.16. With his new hits, Lil Baby is now the sixth act to ever score 150 hits on the Hot 100.
The highly-anticipated WHAM — Lil Baby’s first album since It’s Only Me in 2022 — was an instant smash and debuted at No.1 on Apple Music. It also topped the charts in 50 countries. While the original edition features 15 tracks, with guest spots from Young Thug, Future, Travis Scott, GloRilla and more, Lil Baby doubled down on the strong demand, delivering the WHAM (Extended Version) that added four new songs.
Standout WHAM tracks include “Dum, Dumb and Dumber,” featuring Young Thug and Future, a No.1 on U.S. Apple Music and the streamer’s Global Chart, and “By Myself,” featuring Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez, which has earned more than 2.5 million views from its official music video. In total, WHAM has had seven songs featured in the top 10 on Apple Music’s Hip Hop chart, while six occupied the top 10 across all genres.
Celebrations continue for Lil Baby as his classic album, My Turn, was named the No.1 pure hip-hop album and No.8 album across all genres for the first 25 years of the 21st century, based on the Billboard 200 chart.
My Turn, released in 2020, was the most-consumed album of that year in the U.S. across all-genres, with more than 3.9 billion streams stateside.
