Lil Baby and Lil Durk team up for a huge week on Billboard‘s charts (dated June 19), thanks to the opening frame of their collaborative album The Voice of the Heroes.
The set launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 150,000 equivalent album units, according to MRC Data, earning Lil Baby his second leader and Lil Durk his first. It’s the first collaborative No. 1 by a pair of rappers since 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II last October. It also scores the second-biggest week of the year for a hip-hop album, after J. Cole’s The Off-Season, which opened with 282,000 units in May.
