21 Savage Dominates Billboard 200 Chart with Third Solo Album

21 Savage’s third solo album, “american dream,” makes a remarkable comeback to his roots by debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 charts for the second time, making it his fourth consecutive #1 album on the esteemed chart. With 165 million streams in its first week and 133,000 units sold, the album’s success solidifies 21 Savage’s position as a chart-topping artist.

The star-studded trailer, which featured Hollywood heavyweights such as Donald Glover and Natasha Lyonne, undoubtedly fueled the album’s anticipation, while all 14 tracks, including standout hits like “redrum” and “Née-nah” featuring Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. 21 Savage becomes the 16th artist to reach 100 Billboard chart entries, demonstrating his long-standing influence in the music industry.

“american dream” is not only 21 Savage’s highest-streaming solo record to date, but it also has the most tracks debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 of any of his releases. The album’s production, which features Metro Boomin, London on Da Track, and others, as well as guest appearances from industry elites, showcases a perfect blend of talent, according to Pitchfork, balancing newfound celebrity with his signature icy realism.

Savage’s journey culminates with his return to London after nearly two decades, paving the way for a new vision in 2024. The album’s global success, which includes a #1 debut on the Australian chart, emphasizes 21 Savage’s international reach.

The Grammy-winning rapper is nominated for six awards, including “Best Rap Album” and “Best Rap Song,” and his latest accomplishments are a great addition to his already successful career. He is preparing for the awards next month. ‘It’s All A Blur Tour,’ which grossed over $100 million and packed arenas all over North America, was a result of Savage and Drake’s joint effort on “Her Loss.”

Beyond music, Atlanta officials recognized 21 Savage’s philanthropic influence by declaring December 10 as “21 Savage Appreciation Day.” The rapper also received Atlanta’s “Carry The Torch” award, which recognizes his significant contributions to the community.
