Kendrick Lamar is officially king of the Billboard 200 chart as the numbers for DAMN.‘s debut are in, according to Hits Daily Double.
Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. album pushed 610,000 equivalent album units to claim the top spot on the Billboard 200 in its first week. The LP pulled in more than 300 million streams, but 60 percent of the total number comes from pure album sales, boosted by the epic album signing he held in Compton. Kendrick beats out Drake for the highest-selling debut of 2017. More Life sold 505,000 units upon its release earlier this month. It spent three weeks at #1 before being dethroned. This is K.Dot’s third straight #1 album, following untitled unmastered. and To Pimp a Butterfly.
This is awesome news! All we can say is congrats Kendrick!
