Lil Uzi dropped his highly anticipated album “Pink Tape” last week (June 30) and it’s already excepted to break records.

The project contains 26 tracks with features from Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Don Toliver, BABYMETAL and more. Uzi has already garnered over 60 million streams on Spotify marking it the biggest streaming day of his career.

According to HITS Daily Double, “Pink Tape” is projected to move more than 165,000 total album-equivalent units in its opening week with more than 3,800 of those being album sales. His project is also expected to become the first No. 1 hip-hop album in 2023, per Chart Data.

We are already halfway through 2023 and in a shocking turns of events not one hip-hop album has landed on the No. 1 spot which is completely different than what we saw in 2022.

Gunna (DS4Ever), Lil Durk (7220), Tyler, The Creator (Call Me If You Get Lost), Pusha T (It’s Almost Dry), Future (I Never Liked You), and Kendrick Lamar (Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers) were listed on the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart during this time last year.

And on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” Jack Harlow (“First Class”) and Future and Drake (“Wait For U”) secured spots at No. 1 by 2022’s halfway mark.

The outlet has also reported that this is the longest we’ve gone into a calendar year without a rap album at No. 1 since 1993.
