Lil Baby is back on top. The Atlanta rapper’s latest release WHAM earned a first place debut on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the first No. 1 album of 2025.

After a tumble from the mountaintop with his last album, Baby sets his eyes on a return to the top with his fourth album ’WHAM.’

Lil Baby is kicking off the new year on top, as his monumental new album WHAM has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album moved 140,000 album units in its first week to become Lil Baby’s fourth consecutive No.

Lil Baby's 'Wham' is the first new No. 1 album of the year as Bad Bunny trails closely behind with 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' at No. 2.

Lil Baby has launched his most ambitious project to date with the release of WHAM (Who Hard As Me) on January 3, 2025.
