The first week sales projections are in for Rick Ross’ ninth studio album (NINTH!!!), Rather You Than Me. Though they’re not insane Drake or J. Cole-level numbers, they’re certainly solid, and a big bump up from his last effort, 2015’s Black Market.

The numbers are in and Migos are officially on top of the rap game.
For the fifth week, The Weeknd is sitting atop the Billboard 200 with Starboy. (He’s definitely going to be knocked out next week by either Migos or a country singer, but he can enjoy his reign for now!) The album sold another 56k units this week.
The new year is starting off on a good note for The Weeknd, whose album Starboy has returned to the number one spot on the Billboard 200, 5 weeks after it initially debuted there. In its second week, Starboy was dethroned by J. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only, and it’s been a mix of Christmas albums and new releases keeping Abel from the top spot since. However, 69k units sold this week brought him back!
As predicted, The Weeknd’s third studio album, Starboy, grabs the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Bruno Mars debuts on the Billboard 200 at number 2 this week, as 24K Magic sold a very solid 231k units. His previous effort, 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox, also debuted at number 2, though it was lower sales at 192k. Elsewhere in the top 10, last week’s number one, A Tribe Called Quest‘s We Got it From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service, lands at number 5 with another 59k. Rae Sremmurd‘s SremmLife2 also remains in the top 10, thanks to “Black Beatles.” Check out this week’s full top 10 below.
