Durk’s commercial peak, however, remains his 2021 joint album with Lil Baby, The Voice of the Heroes, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with an impressive 150,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
Lil Durk is also expected to make a major splash on the Billboard Hot 100 this week as all 21 tracks from Almost Healed are tipped to land on the chart, per Talk of the Charts.
The highest debut is slated to come from the Morgan Wallen-assisted “Stand By Me.” Durk already occupies a spot in the top 10 thanks to his “All My Life” collaboration with J. Cole, which currently sits at No. 7 followings its second-place debut last month.
