RS Charts: Nav Takes Number One With 'Good Intentions'
’s Good Intentions swept to Number One on the latest Rolling Stone Top 200 Albums chart. The rapper released both the 18-track album and a 14-track deluxe edition three days later; all together, those 32 tracks amassed 75.3 million streams. Nav also relied on merch-album bundles to drive more than 75,000 album sales.
’s It Was Good Until It Wasn’t trailed Good Intentions in the Number Two spot, earning more than 80,000 album-equivalent units. The R&B singer’s total was powered by over 65 million streams. Two former Number One albums, ’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes and ’s My Turn, fell to Numbers Three and Four, respectively. While both releases still out-streamed It Was Good Until It Wasn’t, Kehlani was able to scoot past the rappers on the strength of her song sales (nearly 11,000) and album sales (6,600).
’s Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 debuted at Number Five with 62.2 million streams. Not far behind him was ’s Las Que No Iban A Salir, which earned 38.1 million streams. The surprise album came out on Sunday at noon, meaning that only four-and-a-half days’ worth of consumption counted towards the latest chart.
