Playboi Carti's 'MUSIC' Just Took Over Charts
From insane features to an extensive trackless, fans have been *fed*.
Fans waited five years for Playboi Carti to release a new album. Just a week after releasing, his MUSIC is exceeding the hype.
According to Billboard charts, the Atlanta rapper just pulled a win that we’ve only seen with names like Taylor Swift. Playboi Carti “captures his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart,” the publication shared. This “marks the biggest week of 2025 for a rap album. It also arrives with the biggest streaming week for a rap set since 2023.”

In 2024, Hypebeast reported that the album would be produced by Ye. However, no updates have been shared regarding this following the Chicago rapper’s recent run. In fact, Carti recently requested North West, Kim Kardashian and Ye’s daughter, hop on a song together. Ye, recently booted from the album, expressed his disdain for the request causing Carti to have to respond.
YE STFU

At the time, he also teased that the then titled, I Am Music, would not host any features. “I’m trying to do this by myself,” he said. However, not only does MUSIC host several features — the names are fan favorites. From Jhene Aiko and Future to The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Skepta, the “Flatbed Freestyle” rapper delivered top tier surprises — and the charts prove it.
