Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack may have taken the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for the week ending October 11, but Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V is still holding on to the Top 3 after debuting at No. 1 last week.
Elsewhere on the chart, Lil Baby and Gunna’s collaborative project Drip Harder has made an impressive debut in the Top 5, Drake’s Scorpion album takes a five percent dip, moving from No. 5 to No. 8, and T.I. and his DIME TRAP project hit the chart at No. 13.
