The Rolling Stone 200 Albums chart tracks the most popular releases of the week in the United States. Entries are ranked by album units, a number that combines digital and physical album sales, digital song sales, and audio streams using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The Rolling Stone 200 Albums chart is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.

While DaBaby and Apple made splashy debuts, no other new albums arrived in the Top 20. The R&B duo dvsn, who are signed to Drake’s OVO label, streamed their way to Number 23 with A Muse in Her Feelings. The rapper arrived at Number 67 with his new album Pray for Paris. And the singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker’s Love Is Not Dying debuted at Number 85. 

Next week, the rapper Youngboy Never Broke Again is expected to take the Number One spot with 38 Baby 2.
