Gunna‘s latest album went live earlier this month and it has already generated some big numbers, but not as big as he anticipated.
Per the latest report by Billboard, One Of Wun has secured the No. 2 slot on the Top 200 albums chart, behind Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department. With 91,000 equivalent album units, this is his sixth time hitting the chart’s top five.

Earlier this month, HitsDailyDouble reported that the initial sales projections for the YSL rapper’s latest LP had him down for 79,000 streams and 1,000 albums sold, which he far exceeded.
Despite this win, the Georgia native has yet to live up to the standard he set for himself before One Of Wun dropped.

TMZ caught up with the 30-year-old star in late April and asked him if he thought the album in question would top the charts.
“For sure” he responded. “The album One of Wun — it’s number one.”

About the record surpassing his widely praised 2023 package A Gift & A Curse, he said without hesitation: “For sure.”
Gunna’s last album was named HipHopDX‘s Biggest Comeback of 2023.
News editor Andy Bustard wrote about the project: “For a while, many doubted that Gunna would be able to climb his way back to the heights he achieved just 11 months prior when he earned his first No. 1 album with DS4Ever. Some even wondered whether his career was over altogether.
“With the release of his third album A Gift & A Curse… though, Gunna silenced the critics and proved that not even snitching allegations can drown the Drip King.”

He added: “Loaded with infectious, hard-hitting anthems and a defiant edge that’s reflected in its lack of guest features, the project peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart while its platinum-certified single ‘Fukumean’ cracked the Top 5 on the Hot 100 chart, becoming one of the biggest (and unlikeliest) rap hits of 2023.”
