“And another one!”
DJ Khaled scores his second No. 1 album with his recently-released ‘Grateful’ album. His 10th studio album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts with 149,000 equivalent album units (55,000 traditional). In addition its 81,000 streaming equivalent album units is the largest for any album since K. Dot’s ‘DAMN.’
With contributions from Jay-Z, Drake, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, Bryson Tiller, Justin Bieber, Quavo, and many, many more talented artists, it’s easy to see why the album did the numbers it did.
“I’m the One” featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper, and Lil Wayne becames Khaled’s first No. 1 single earlier this year.
To celebrate the victory, Khaled shared a post on Instagram with a caption that read, “We did it FAN LUV !!!!!!! #1#GRATEFUL #1 @billboard ! @wethebestmusic @rocnation !!!!! @epicrecords !!!”
Congratulations to Khaled and Ashad Khaled, who executive produced the album and also earned his first No. 1 album before even turning 1-years-old.
Bless up.
