21 Savage Scores Fourth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart with 'American Dream'

21 Savage scores his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as American Dream debuts at the top of the chart (dated January 27). The set is down with 133,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 18, according to Luminate, almost entirely fueled by streaming activity.

All four rapper heads have come in succession, starting with I am > I was in 2019 and followed Savage Mode II (featuring Metro Boomin in 2020), Her loss (with Drake in 2022) and American Dream.

American Dream starts with 21 Savage's best week, by units earned, for any of his non-collaborative projects (beating his previous high of 131,000 on his debut I am > I was). The set also boasts the longest streaming week of any of its non-collaborative sets, as its combined songs generated 169.53 million official on-demand streams in its first week (again, surpassing its original turn I am > I waswith 151.87 million).

American Dream was released without warning, as the set was announced on January 9th and premiered on January 12th. The 15-track album boasts guest appearances from Metro Boomin, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Young Thug and Summer Walker.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Kali Uchis records her highest-charting album ever, as her second Spanish-language full-length. Orchidsstarts at No. 2 — and with its biggest week ever in units (69,000).
