21 Sаvаge’s “American Dream” Anticipated to Maintain Number One Position for a Second Week

The album is expected to surpass Green Day and Morgan Wallen for the top spot.

In 2023, it took almost half the year for a rap album to secure the number one spot on the Billboard 200. Artists like Young TҺug, Lil Durk, and Gunna reached the top 5, but it wasn’t until Lil Uzι Vert’s “Pink Tape” finally claimed the number one spot. However, 2024 didn’t face such a drought. The first new number-one album of the year was 21 Sаvаge’s “American Dream,” which topped the charts last week with over 130k sales in its debut week. The album maintained a significant lead over other new releases from Kali Uchis and Kid Cudi that debuted in the same week.

Now, early projections for next week’s Billboard 200 are emerging, and it’s once again good news for 21 Sаvаge. The rapper is expected to spend a second consecutive week at the top spot on the charts, with sales just under 70k copies. The primary contender among new releases is the pop-punk band Green Day, whose latest album, “Saviors,” is projected to sell over 50k copies in its debut week. Another challenger for the top spot is Morgan Wallen’s extensive 2023 effort, “One Thing At A Time.” Drake’s “For All The Dogs” and Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” round out the top 5 of the projections. You can find the full top 20 predictions below.

21 Sаvаge’s success extends beyond the Billboard 200. Two songs from his new album debuted in the top 10 on the Hоt 100. “Nee-nah,” featuring Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, landed at number 10, while “Redrum” proved to be the breakout Һit, debuting inside the top 5.

In a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay show, 21 Sаvаge shared the story of being shot on his 21st birthday. He provided intricate details about his emotions and actions during the traumatic event. What are your thoughts on 21 Sаvаge’s new album spending a second week at the top spot on the Billboard 200?
