Lil Durk’s New Album Debuts at No. 14 In This Week’s Sales Recap (6/10/2015)

Chicago MC and former XXL Freshman Lil Durk debuts at No. 14 on this week's Billboard 200 chart with right around 27,000 sold (according to Hits Daily Double). Propelled by singles like "Tryna' Tryna'" with Logic and "What Your Life Like" and an abundance of free mixtapes,  Remember My Name makes a strong debut in the top-15. Coming at No. 19 is Dom Kennedy's By Dom Kennedy album which moved 22,500 units. As an indie artist, the number is tremendous and is the highest chart position of the West Coast spitter's career. Troy Ave's Major Without a Deal album moved a total of 4,373 copies since its release last Friday, with the majority of that number coming from digital sales. Only 30 physical copies accounted for album sales.

After coming in at No. 1 last week, A$AP Rocky's At.Long.Last.A$AP dips to No. 3 with another 50,000 sold. Last week, Rocky's album joined Wale’s The Album About Nothing, the Furious 7 soundtrack, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise, Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and the Empire soundtrack as the seventh hip-hop project to go No. 1 on the chart in 2015. By comparison, Rick Ross’ Mastermind and ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron were the only hip-hop albums to come in at No. 1 by this time last year.

Boosie BadAZZ's Touchdown 2 Cause Hell took a tumble from No. 3 to No. 28 with just under 18,000 sold.
