NAV's 'Good Intentions' Debuts at No. 1
Back to back.
NAV tops the Billboard 200 for the second time with his new album Good Intentions, which earned 135,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Over half of the sum, 73,000 units, was driven by merchandise/album bundles sold via NAV’s official webstore.
Good Intentions becomes the Toronto rapper-producer’s second No. 1 since Bad Habits, which opened atop the chart in April 2019 with 82,000 equivalent album units.
Taking to social media, a grateful NAV thanked his fans for their support. “I want to start off by thanking my family, friends, @cashxo, @theweeknd, all the artists and producers involved and who could forget my LEGENDARY FANS!! #1 again!!! 135k first week!!” he wrote.
