Since its release, My Turn has remained a fixture on the Billboard 200, staying in the top 10 for over a year and charting for well over 100 weeks, a feat few rap albums can match. This level of longevity reflects its widespread appeal and the connection Lil Baby built with his audience through raw lyrics and relatable themes.

In the first big week for new releases of the calendar year, two albums from prior chart-toppers look to seize the top spot.

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

The digital deluxe version of the album includes four additional tracks, including another feature from Future. As of now, the extended edition of the album is only available for purchase on Lil Baby’s Motown Records shop,

With features from the likes of Young Thug, who offers up his first verse since being released from jail late last year, to Travis Scott and 21 Savage, who many think might’ve used his guest verse to throw some subliminal at Kendrick Lamar, WHAM is officially the year’s first major rap release, setting the tone for the months ahead.

Lil Baby’s “WHAM” to become his fourth straight number one album Lil Baby is back, and he’s dominating the rap scene in 2025. His fourth studio album, WHAM, dropped on January 3 and quickly became the talk of the town.
