Kendrick Lamar’s giving Drake a run for his money as the TDE titan cashes in a second week at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. Drizzy sneaks back up a slot after More Life sat at #3 last week. Bruno Mars, Future and The Weeknd hold it down for the culture in the Top 10.

Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN.” Holds Top Spot

Kendrick Lamar’s third #1 album, DAMN. remains in the top position in its second week on the Billboard 200. This sales cycle, the project pushed 237,563 equivalent album units, a 61 percent drop from its debut last week, but still enough to triple the second-place contender, Drake’s More Life. But Drizzy doesn’t seem ruffled. Instead, he posted a flattering comment on Instagram congratulating K.Dot for the sales.

Drake’s “More Life” Sneaks Back To #2

After three weeks at #1, Drake’s More Life slipped to #3 last week with Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN.” debut and John Mayer’s latest release taking the top two slots. But the Toronto star now sits just behind Kung Fu Kenny with 76,704 units of More Life sold.
