Playboi Carti's MUSIC tops the Billboard 200, selling nearly 300,000 units in its debut week and cementing his influence in modern hip-hop.

It took years for Playboi Carti to finally drop his new album Music, and it appears to have been worth the wait: It debuted at No. 1, and two songs debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Carti finally dropped — the longest-running joke in rap music is over. Playboi Carti put out his new studio album, “‘Music,” on March 14, five years after his last release.
