(AllHipHop News) DaBaby now has a Number One album in his discography. After scoring a Top 10 entry with Baby on Baby earlier this year, the Hip Hop rookie of the year contender’s latest set, Kirk, landed atop the Billboard 200.
Kirk opened with 145,000 first-week album units. That total was enough to end Post Malone’s three-week reign at the pinnacle of the chart with Hollywood’s Bleeding (124,000 units).
