21 Savage 'American Dream' Billboard 200
According to Luminate, 21 Savage's "American Dream" debuted with 133,000 album-equivalent units. A large majority of his units are streaming, equaling 128,500 units or 169.53 million streams. Album sales are only 4,000 while track units are 500.
Billboard reported that "American Dream" is by far 21 Savage's biggest week by units earned for all of his non-collaborative projects. He surpassed "I Am > I Was" by 2,000 units after it debuted at 131,000 units in 2018.
It is also his biggest streaming week for any of his non-collaborative albums, beating also "I Am > I Was."
"American Dream" featured collaborations from Metro Boomin, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and Summer Walker.
Kali Uchis 'Orquideas' Billboard 200
Meanwhile, Kali Uchis' "Orquideas" arrived at No. 2 at 69,000 units earned. So far, it is her highest charting album in the Billboard 200 charts and her biggest album-based units earned in its opening week.
Kali Uchis' album came around the time she announced her pregnancy with Don Toliver. In an interview with Billboard, Uchis revealed that the announcement of her pregnancy came together with her album.
"The flower, for me, it always symbolized timelessness, femininity, luxury... It has an eerie, mystical quality about it as well. It's also the national flower of Colombia, so for me it all tied in," she said about her album title which translates to "Orchids," which meant fertility.

Morgan Wallen's record-breaking "One Thing At A Time" dropped to No. 3, while Drake's "For All The Dogs" bowed to No. 4. "1989 (Taylor's Version)" dipped to No. 5, while Noah Kahan's "Stick Season" slipped one spot at No. 6.
Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday 2" descended to No. 7, while "Folklore" rocketed to No. 8, "SOS" fell to No. 9, and "Lover" fell to No. 10.
Notably, this was the first time that Taylor Swift's "Midnights" charted outside the Billboard 200 Top 10, spending 64 consecutive weeks in the Top 10.
