Rick Ross' 'Port of Miami 2' Debuts at No. 2

The Bawse is back on the Billboard charts.

Rick Ross debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with Port of Miami 2, which sold 80,000 equivalent album units (25,000 in album sales) in its first week. The highly-anticipated sequel to his 2006 debut, which features Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nipsey Hussle, is Ross’ highest-charting album since 2014’s Mastermind debuted at No. 1.

Additionally, Port of Miami 2 is Ross’ tenth top 10 on the chart. All 10 of his charting major-label releases have reached the top 10, with five of them hitting No. 1.
