Young Thug Has This Week's No. 1 Album

By FYI Staff

Young Thug scores his first chart-topping album as So Much Fun debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 8,000 total consumption units and scoring the highest audio-on-demand stream total for the week. It is the first time he has reached the top ten as a solo artist, previously peaking at No. 5 on Super Slimey, his 2017 collaboration with Future.


Ed Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaborations Project remains at 2, Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go stays at 3, and Shawn Mendes’ self-titled album holds at 4. Mendes’ duet with Camila Cabello on Senorita jumps to No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart, his second chart-topping song and her first digital No. 1.

Quality Control’s Quality Control: Control the Streets, Vol. 2 debuts at 5, surpassing the No. 17 peak of Volume 1 in December 2017.

Last week’s number one album, Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind drops to No. 6 but once again is the week’s top seller.

Other debuts in the top 50 include Illenium’s Ascend, at 12; Killswitch Engage’s Atonement, at 17; and A$AP Ferg’s Floor Seats, at 38.

Despite falling out of the No. 1 spot on the Digital Songs chart, Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road spends its 20th straight week at the top of the Streaming Songs chart.
