Pop Smoke continues to make history in the afterlife. The late Brooklyn rapper’s posthumous Faith album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
According to Billboard, Faith earned 88,000 total album-equivalent units in its first week to beat out John Mayer’s Sob Rock.
The project reportedly totaled 113.34 million on-demand streams for the week ending July 22. With the latest feat, Pop Smoke became the first artist ever to posthumously have their first two albums go No. 1.
Faith boasted 20 tracks before adding another four as part one of the deluxe edition to celebrate what would have been Pop Smoke’s 22nd birthday.
Victor Victor Worldwide CEO Steven Victor has hinted at the full deluxe arriving on July 30.
Pop Smoke was killed during an armed home invasion of his rented Airbnb in the Hollywood Hills on February 19, 2020.
His fans gathered in his hometown of Brooklyn last week to celebrate the life of the fallen drill rapper.
