More than three months after its release, Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album, Shoot For the Stars, Aim For the Moon, is back on top of the Billboard 200 chart. Billboard reports that the project moved 67,000 units last week. Although this was down 1 percent from the previous week, a lack of competition from new releases allowed the late rapper to ascend back to No. 1.
The album hasn’t left the Top 4 in the 13 weeks since its release, including nine weeks spent at No. 2. It’s the second rap album of 2020 to return to No. 1 months after release, following Lil Baby’s My Turn achieving the same feat. Pop Smoke’s posthumous album has produced a surprisingly robust array of Hot 100 hits, including “For the Night” (No. 6), “The Woo” (No. 11), and “Mood Swings” (No. 17).
Lower down the chart, the TikTok-fueled resurgence of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” helped the band’s classic album, Rumours, move 33,000 copies this week. It’s the first time Rumours has cracked the Top 10 since Feb. 18, 1978, although with over 20 million copies sold in the US, it remains one of the best-selling albums of all times.
