DJ Khaled secured his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 charts after his "GOD DID" won the head-to-head battle with Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" at the summit of the charts.
Nicki Minaj's "Queen Radio: Volume 1" and TWICE's "Between 1&2" both secured their Top 10 rankings with the debut of their albums on the chart.
The list also saw a rebound of two former chart leaders as "An Evening with Silk Sonic" and Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers" skyrocketed to the top 10 again after a few weeks.
DJ Khaled 'GOD DID' Bests Bad Bunny's 'Un Verano Sin Ti' On Tight No. 1 Race
Early last week, Hits Daily Double predicted that DJ Khaled's most recent album, "GOD DID," would open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. However, in the middle of the week, the same outlet also reported that Bad Bunny's record-breaking album "Un Verano Sin Ti" is challenging him at the top spot with a slim margin.
But based on Billboard's newly released chart, DJ Khaled emerged victorious. The star-studded thirteenth studio album by the prominent becomes his fourth No. 1 album on the all genre-blending charts.
"GOD DID" opened at 107,500 album-equivalent units, while "Un Verano Sin Ti" is just short of 1,500 as it tallied 106,000 this week.
Luminate reports that out of the 107,500 album equivalent units that "GOD DID" has generated, album sales only got 9,500; but the biggest chunk came from streaming with 96,000 streaming equivalent album units, while only 2,000 were attributed to track equivalent.
On the other hand, Bad Bunny remains headstrong with "Un Verano Sin Ti" as it has become a consistent chart mainstay in the Top 2 spots.
TWICE, Nicki Minaj's New Debuts on Billboard 200 charts
Meanwhile, TWICE's "Between 1&2" debuted at No. 3 on the charts with 100,000 album equivalent units - marking their highest in their career with also 94,000 pure album sales.
Nicki Minaj rounded off the Top 10 with the surprise release of her first-ever compilation album, "Queen Radio: Volume 1," with 32,000 equivalent album units.
Kendrick Lamar's "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" makes a comeback on the Top 10 at No. 4 as the album gets a vinyl release. Silk Sonic's "An Evening With Silk Sonic" skyrocketed from #200 to #7 as it also got a vinyl release on the same date.
The Top 10 saw a huge decline in spots despite the new debut and rebounds. Morgan Wallen's "Dangerous: The Double Album" slipped to No. 5, Beyonce's "Rennaisance" drops to No. 6, Rod Wave's "Beautiful Mind" fell to No. 8, and Harry Styles' "Harry's House" dipped to No. 9.
