The Number One position for Young Thug is welcome news.<\/span> \u201cI\u2019ve been going through the storm,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a><\/span>. \u201cOnce this album goes number one, the storm is over. The storm [has] been calmed\u2026 That\u2019s why I wanted to make it<\/span> So Much Fun<\/span><\/em>, because I wanted to really fall back on this and be like, \u2018Damn, this is really [how I] overcome oppression and struggle.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em><\/a> 200 Albums chart tracks the most popular releases of the week in the United States. Entries are ranked by album units, a number that combines digital and physical album sales, digital song sales, and audio streams using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The<\/span> Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em> 200 Albums chart is updated daily, and each week<\/span> Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em> finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Though<\/span> Control of the Streets Vol. 2<\/span><\/em> could not match<\/span> So Much Fun<\/span><\/em>, it also performed well on streaming services, with hits \u201cBaby\u201d and \u201cPink Toes\u201d \u2014 both of which feature Interscope rapper DaBaby \u2014 driving the album to 74 million streams. Other notable debuts include Sleater-Kinney<\/a>\u2019s<\/span> The Center Won\u2019t Hold<\/span><\/em> (Number 37), which was powered by old-fashioned sales, and A$AP Ferg\u2019s<\/span> Floor Seats<\/span><\/em> (Number 46).<\/span><\/p>\n
