Pop Smoke’s ‘Faith’ Debuts at No. 1

Long live the Woo.

Pop Smoke scores his second No. 1 album as Faith opens atop the Billboard 200. The star-studded project, which features Kanye West, Chris Brown, Dua Lipa, and Pharrell, moved 88,000 equivalent album units in its first week, of which 4,000 were from album sales.

This is the late Brooklyn rapper’s second No. 1 album in just over a year. He previously topped the Billboard 200 with his posthumous debut Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon, which debuted at No. 1 and went on to become the third most popular album of 2020. The project reenters the top 10 this week at No. 9 with 28,000 units.

Faith is Pop Smoke’s fourth charting album and third top 10. His 2020 mixtape Meet the Woo, Vol. 2 debuted and peaked at No. 7, while 2019’s Meet the Woo, Vol. 1 peaked at No. 105 following his death in March 2020.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Doja Cat’s Planet Her falls 2-4 with 59,000 units, Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice of the Heroes slides 4-6 with 36,000 units, and Polo G’s Hall of Fame dips 5-7 with 33,000 units.
