Lil Baby has cause to celebrate: not only does he have a successful new album out, his 2020 project My Turn was the most popular rap album of the century, going by its Billboard chart performance.
On Thursday (January 9), Billboard unveiled its Top Billboard 200 Albums of the 21st Century list. The list measures performance on the weekly Billboard 200 album charts dated Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 28, 2024.
By those metrics, My Turn measured eighth overall, behind two projects each from Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift; Adele’s 21, the Hamilton cast recording; and Post Malone‘s Hollywood’s Bleeding.
Post Malone has two other albums in the list’s top 25, beerbongs & bentleys (no. 12) and Stoney (no. 24). The only other rapper to appear in the top 25 is Kendrick Lamar, with Damn (no. 25). Drake‘s Views lands at 28, while Pop Smoke‘s posthumous Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon is at 31. Check the whole list, which appropriately contains 200 albums, at the link above.
Lil Baby’s new WHAM (Who Hard As Me) looks like it will have quite a nice chart run of its own.
According to Chart Predictions, the effort is projected to land at No. 1 on the chart with an estimated 115k-125k album equivalent units.
The 15-track effort arrived on January 3, and features appearances from Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, GloRilla, Rod Wave, Rylo and 21 Savage.
If the prediction stands, WHAM will mark the rapper’s fourth consecutive No. 1 album.
The rapper’s previous chart-toppers were My Turn, 2021’s The Voice of the Heroes alongside Lil Durk and 2022’s It’s Only Me.
Lil Baby recently announced that WHAM won’t be his only release of the year, as he’s planning to drop two new albums in 2025 that will showcase two different sides to his artistry.
The Atlanta rapper shared the news while appearing on Lil Yachty‘s A Safe Place podcast, saying: “At first, I was telling people I was going to drop a double album. Now, I’m dropping the WHAM album and Dominique album.”
He added that the second album, which is titled after his real name, will “hopefully” arrive in February, shortly after WHAM.
Baby was then asked by his “Sum More” collaborator how the two projects will differ: “I still put some of the songs I was gonna use for Dominique on WHAM ’cause I know my fanbase really want to hear them certain songs. WHAM is more me on some young n-gga shit — fast cars, girls, jewelry, money. You know, the turnt lifestyle.
“And Dominique is more the serious me, more personal. That’s a part of the new journey I’m on. I hate the word vulnerable, but I’m gonna be more open to my fans and my audience.”
Who the fuck is running shit over at Billboard????
Paid Shills. That’s who.
Everything they say and do has no Merit these days.
It’s NEVER had any merit EVER. It’s just as bogus and non credible as this garbage ass slte

He’s a carbon copy of a carbon copy of a temu version of a discount rapper
They use the same editors as this site, hahaha
Billboard just needs to go away. They stopped being legit after the physical sales era. Obviously if someone pays ten dollars a month for unlimited streaming, they gonna listen to stuff they wouldnt actually buy if they lived in the physical sales era. These arent album sales, these are listens. You might as well count DJ spins too at this point.
His music is trash.
Go kill yourself if you listen to a grown man who calls himself a little baby.
He is so ugly and ghetto. He looks the Target dog.
He looks like that dog from Target.
Broooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ghetto subhuman who makes music for thugs, gang members, hoodrats and the uneducated 💩🦍
Black music is trash. Black music promotes thug culture.
Gypsies smell like 3 day old sushi, jam packed up the arse of roadkill. Please take a bath. Like honestly.
Lil Gayyby looks like he has fetal alcohol.
Lil Gayby attended Diddy parties yet yall are buying his rubbish? Don’t support these dl rappers.
birdman,lil wayne and young thug are the real dl ones
Black people need to stop supporting thugs like this and making them rich. Lil Baby is a bad influence on Black men.
Lil Baby is a bad influence on Black men. No wonder why so many Black men commit crime and think it is cool to have 20 baby mamas. Lil Baby makes Black boys think it is cool to slept with multiple women, sell drugs and rob and shoot people. Find God.

If they’ve got “Young”, “Lil” or “Baby” in their name they are guaranteed to be an ignorant embarrassment to the race. And likely to make trash music too.
Respectfully have to disagree on that last pasty. Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, etc made some great fucking music lol.
I’ll concede Lil Jon. But Jeezy, Dro and Wayne are either addicts or made music glorifying turning their own people into addicts. On too of that, Wayne doesn’t believe racism exists because it doesn’t affect him, so he says.
This is why these white people should just be spectators on hip hop, not active participants or commentators on it.
