Lil Durk scores his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as 7220 debuts in the top slot. The rapper had previously topped the list with The Voice of the Heroes, a collaborative album with Lil Baby, for one week in 2021.
7220 launches with 120,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending March 17, according to Luminate, formerly MRC Data – Lil Durk’s best week for a non-collaborative project. 7220 was released on March 11 via Alamo Records.
Of 7220’s 120,500 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 117,500 (equaling 164.81 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 2,500 and TEA units comprise 500.
7220 is Lil Durk’s fifth top 10 album – and all of them have reached the top five. The set opens with Lil Durk’s largest week, by units, for a non-collaborative album. His previous solo best was logged when The Voice jumped 5-2 with 86,000 units on the Feb. 13, 2021 chart, after the album was reissued with 14 additional tracks.
7220 also lands the third-largest week for an album in the 2022 tracking year. Only the debut frames of Gunna’s DS4Ever (150,300; week ending Jan. 13) and The Weeknd’s Dawn FM (148,000; the same week) posted larger weeks in 2022.
7220 is the third No. 1 for Alamo Records, and first, since Sony Music Entertainment acquired the company last June.
