Just when it looked like The Weeknd was going to take the Billboard 200 crown this week with Dawn FM, Gunna has managed to steal his shine. On Monday (January 17), Billboard tweeted the official numbers from MRC Data and revealed DS4Ever made its debut in the No. 1 spot, marking his second consecutive chart-topper following 2020’s Wunna.
“@1GunnaGunna’s ‘DS4Ever’ officially debuts at No. 1 on this week’s #Billboard200 chart with 150,300 equivalent album units, according to MRC Data,” the tweet read. “It earns him his second career No. 1 album, after ‘Wunna’ in 2020.”
Released on January 7, the 19-track DS4Ever album featured collaborations with 21 Savage, Chris Brown, Future, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch and Young Thug, among others.
Of DS4Ever’s 150,300 total album-equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 144,600 (equaling 193.5 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs in its first week, making it the most-streamed album of the week), album sales comprise 4,700 and TEA units comprise 1,000.
DS4EVER was predicted to land at No. 2 this week — but only by a tiny margin. On Sunday (January 16), Hits Daily Double reported Dawn FM would settle at No. 1 with an estimated 154,000 total album-equivalent units earned, which would’ve served as The Weeknd’s fourth consecutive No. 1 album following 2015’s Beauty Behind The Madness, 2016’s Starboy and 2020’s After Hours.

Weeknd literally sold his soul to do shit pop music instead of staying in his lane and he still couldn’t beat out a C list rapper for no.1. Drake goes no.1 each time since 2010.
If he stayed with Drake, he would be dominating with drake right now. Idiot got what he deserved
Lol oh please, he had 3 #1 singles on Billboard, in 2020 alone. Gunna has never even had one, ever. After Hours album went #1 and stayed there for 5 weeks. Zero chance that happens with DS4. After Hours also broke Apples records for Streaming and pre adds until CLB came out. In case you haven’t noticed, he is dominating with Drake.
Which is why it’s hilarious that Dawn FM couldn’t even go no.1. Drake has had plenty of big hit singles too last year alone and he still dominates the charts each time.
And for the record, gunna is wack as fuck and wouldn’t be doing numbers at all if he didn’t crawl to drake for a song. I just find it hilarious weeknd lost despite so much hype where as gunna had little
He isn’t gay though. He’s a lesbian. Big difference. He still loves women
If drake’s a lesbian, then he’s still a bitch
You know YoungButtPlugga is definitely smash him some TSGunna @$$ tonight lol
Gunna looking fine as hell in that pic, he can split these cheeks anytime he wants. Toot toot.
I do not understand any appeal to this guy. The music is completely mediocre, and he’s not entertaining outside of music.
