Lil Baby is kicking off the new year on top, as his monumental new album WHAM has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album moved 140,000 album units in its first week to become Lil Baby’s fourth consecutive No.

This week, we get a fresh jolt of energy, as SZA and Lamar make way for two blockbuster debuts. Lil Baby enters the chart at No. 1 with WHAM — an acronym for "Who Hard As Me," not a tribute to the duo who spent last Christmas in the top 5 — which becomes the rapper's fourth consecutive chart-topper and seventh album to hit the top 10.

In the first big week for new releases of the calendar year, two albums from prior chart-toppers look to seize the top spot.

Lil Baby announces his highly anticipated album *Dominique*, set for release in February 2025, generating major buzz.
