As anticipation mounts in the music world, Playboi Carti appears set to take the top spot on Billboard 200 with his highly awaited release, "MUSIC." According to HITS Daily Double, the album is projected to earn an impressive 250,000 equivalent album units, but it’s important to note that these figures come without the inclusion of physical sales.
“MUSIC” debuted in the early hours of March 14 and made an immediate impact, becoming Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day. Its tracks quickly ascended to the top of both the Spotify and Apple Music charts, proving Carti's undeniable influence in today’s music landscape.
