DaBaby's 'Blame It on Baby' Debuts at No. 1

DaBaby is back on top.

The North Carolina rapper debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Blame It on Baby. His sophomore set, which features appearances from Future, Roddy Ricch, and Megan Thee Stallion, earned 124,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week, of which 12,000 are in album sales. This marks his second No. 1 following KIRK, which opened at No. 1 in October with 146,000 units.

A grateful Baby took to Instagram to celebrate his latest achievement. “God is great,” he wrote, adding, “Back to work.”

Becoming successful, staying successful, remaining free, and staying ALIVE don’t happen where I’m from.

That’s something I understand can never be taken for granted. #GOD is Great.
