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.
Also making top 20 debuts are Glass Animals, whose third studio album, Dreamland, takes sixth; Memphis-born rapper NLE Choppa, whose debut studio album Top Shotta, bows at Number 12 and Portland rapper Aminé’s Limbo (Number 16).
