NAV finds himself back at No. 1
The Toronto artist’s Good Intentions album sits at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, despite intense competition from the likes of Kehlani and Lil Durk.
Driven by merchandise/album bundles sold via NAV’s official webstore, the album earned 135,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 14, per Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Of that, the album earned 84.8 million on-demand streams.
Good Intentions follows NAV’s 2019 release Bad Habits, which launched with 82,000 units earned.
On the final day of album tracking (May 14), NAV’s webstore had 100 different merchandise/album bundles available that were tied to his Good Intentions album as well as 18 different physical format/digital album offerings. He also re-released the album in a deluxe edition, adding 14 new tracks, following the initial May 8 release, which had 18-tracks.
The move pushed initial forecasts for the album, which sat at 80,000 units earned to north of 100,000. It’s XO Records second No. 1 of the year following label head The Weeknd’s After Hours, which debuted with 444,000 album units.
Kehlani’s sophomore album, It Was God Until It Wasn’t marks a personal best for the singer. The album landed at No. 2 on the chart with 83,000 units earned, topping her previous high from 2017’s SweetSexySavage, which debuted at No. 3 with 58,000 units earned.
Elsewhere on the chart, Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes slides its way down to No. 3, earning 79,000 units. A week ago, it debuted at No. 2 with 223,000 units, snapping a decade-long streak of Drake albums and projects that debuted at No. 1. Last week’s No. 1, Kenny Chesney’s Here and Now plummets to No. 38.

Ha. Even another Canadian is knocking Drake off of the #1. No one even knows who this guy is. Name a track, I dare you.
Another L for Drake the COAT. He’s gonna cry and make some passive aggressive disses towards Kenny and Nav for doing bundles. Lol.
The real question here is how the hell does a dude with such a lack of talent like NAV get 2 number one albums? Wake up people, there’s thousands of other rappers doing the same shit he does but better.
Dam, must be easy to buy the number one spot. Only time I heard of this dude was with the Akademiks shit.
This guy is the epitome of generic boring rappers and even he was able to hit number one….The game is definitely in a sad state.
Nah you just ain’t moving with the times. Hip hip finally has evolved out of the mainstream garbage of 2000-2012 and found a new identity. There’s plenty of golden-era material you can bang if you ain’t into trap, but recognise there’s a reason why hip-hop in all its forms is more popular than it’s ever been before.
You mean devolved….he raps likes his autistic and he talks about the same shit every other rappers talks about money,bitches,drugs,cars and trust issues….This recent batch of cRapper are garbage cause they all lack ingenuity, creativity,and lyricism. They all use the same flow, topics, beats, and features…Nav is no different….he has no identity at all… he’s a carbon copy of a carbon copy… absolutely no skill, talent or originality required.
30 dollars on pump 3. no i don’t wanna buy a lotto or car wash.
I could have ass tearing diarrhea and put that on record (OVO)(Quality Control) and it’s would go number one since everything they put out even sounds like it too.
This reminds me of the scene on South Park during Canada Appreciation Day…..lol…..When Steve Abootmen (Leader of WGA aka The World Canadian Bureau)asks:”When you think of Canada, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?”
Cartman replies:”Gayness”…
Everybody’s Laughing..Steve Abootman:”That’s right, spirit! What is it that makes Canada so special?”…. Craig responds:”Nothing”…. Everybody Laughs again…. LMAO
Who???
What are you talking aboot, you should know who Nav is ,guy.
Put put ding ding.
Nav has mumble rapper bars without the mumbling ..
In the top pic on this page, dude has the same haircut as my balls. He is going for that LEGO Man, Ali from the simpsons hybrid look. I am mad at him.
Are pink
Congrats Nav, I’ve yet to listen to your music and I’m not planning on doing so anytime soon but nonetheless congrats.
Damn even your response sounded boring
Justin Bieber did it, too. Both of them play very good rap music.
