NBA YoungBoy has again tied with Drake and Future’s current chart record after Richest Opps debuted in the top-ten of the Billboard 200.
The latest album from the Baton Rouge rapper debuted at No. 4 on this week’s chart, with 51,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week.
This placement, per Chart Data, means that YoungBoy tied Drizzy and King Pluto with having 15 projects in the Billboard 200 top 10 albums as a rapper, the third highest amount in US history. The only two MC’s that surpassed the three aforementioned rap stars are JAY-Z and Nas with 16.
