DaBaby
Booms At
No. 1
DaBaby scores his
first No. 1 on the
Billboard 200 as KIRK
opens in the top slot.
The hip-hop artist’s
second studio effort
starts with 146,000
equivalent album units
earned in the United
States in the week
ending Oct. 3, accord-
ing to Nielsen Music.
Of that sum, just 8,000
were in album sales,
as the set’s debut was
powered largely by
streaming activity.
Of KIRK’s unit start,
streaming equivalent
album units represented
136,000 — equaling
181.7 million on-demand
audio streams for the
set’s 13 songs during its
first week. That marks
the fifth-largest debut
streaming week for an
album in 2019.
KIRK follows the artist’s
first studio release,
Baby on Baby, which
peaked at No. 7 on the
June 1-dated list. The
latter boasts DaBaby’s
breakthrough single,
“Suge,” his first top 10 hit
on the all-genre Billboard
Hot 100 (No. 7, July 6).
