A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Scores First No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart With 'Hoodie SZN'

After sitting in the runner-up slot on the Billboard 200 chart for its first two weeks, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN climbs to No. 1, scoring the rapper his first chart-topper.

The set, released via Highbridge the Label/Atlantic Records, earned 58,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 10, according to Nielsen Music (down less than 1 percent compared to the previous week). Nearly all of that sum was driven by streaming activity for the album.

Hoodie SZN is the first album to spend its first week at No. 1 by climbing up the chart -- rather than debuting at No. 1 -- since The Greatest Showman soundtrack rose 5-1 in its third week on the list (dated Jan. 13, 2018).
Hoodie SZN is A Boogie’s second full-length studio album and second top 10 effort. He previously visited the region with his first full-length set, The Bigger Artist, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the Oct. 21, 2017-dated tally

After two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was slips to No. 2 with 56,000 units (down 14 percent).
