Pop Smoke Dethrones 21 Savage To Return To #1 On Billboard

Pop Smoke’s ‘Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon’ Returns To No. 1 On The Billboard 200

Pop Smoke‘s posthumous album ‘Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon’ clinched the #1 position on the Billboard 200 upon its debut making it the rapper’s first ever number one album.

Well, over three months later, ‘Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon’ is back at the top on the Billboard 200.

It’s been speculated that Pop Smoke’s posthumous album has been performing so well on streaming services that it would be a matter of time before it reclaimed the top spot on one of the most important album charts and, this week, it has.

Acccording to Charts Data, Pop Smoke’s 67,000 equivalent album units were enough to take Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon back at the top spot for this week in the charts.

It’s noteworthy that in the last thirteen weeks, the album has not fallen out of the Top 4 positions, speaking to its impact.

However, it was a close battle for the spot, with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II lacking only a thousand units. In its second week out, the Atlanta & St. Louis-based duo slips to #2.
