To say the ‘Suicide Squad’ soundtrack is killing the competition on the Billboard 200 may be ill-stated, but true nonetheless.

Indeed, after earning its fair share of thumbs down from critics at the box office, the movie itself dominated its premiere weekend in theaters to the tune of $133.6 million (breaking August box office records in the process). This week saw its official soundtrack, featuring contributions from the likes of Kehlani, Rick Ross, and Kanye West, Eminem, Rae Sremmurd, and many more, mirror its success by blasting to the top of the Billboard 200 on the wings of 182,000 sold (128,000 of this sum were traditional sales).

Ousting last week’s chart champion, DJ Khaled, from the perch, tuck in below to find out where all of your other favorites of the day landed under the Suicide Squad soundtrack…

    • Korrenzo August 20, 2016

      I like Bey but when she slays y’all say she’s killing all the other singers and when she doesn’t y’all say she ain’t got nothin to prove. Which is it???

  9. Lucas…Aka “Mark’s boo”. August 18, 2016

    Is that my good sis Molly! Girl how have you been? We haven’t spoken since you were having that melt down regarding your a*** warts. Has it cleared up sis? Overall, how are you doing sis?

  10. Weezy Tha Goat/ Zayn is ? August 19, 2016

    Beyoncé has a platinum album and successful STADIUM tour. I’m sure she’s not worried.

  11. ShakaZulu August 19, 2016

    I don’t understand why people go back and fourth about Beyonce. Lemonade sold more copies then all those albums. Like stop letting the charts make your fav Relevant. I guess that’s a Navy thing ?

  12. JuJu August 19, 2016

    Honestly, ANTi is the B E S T mainstream album out there besides Drake’s views. Lemonade is epic, but not addictive because the songs are not strong individually, they are good together except that song with the weekend now that I LOVE, but what’s good about it is how cohesive it is, you have to set aside like 40 min to listen to it to truly enjoy it. Rihanna is much more diverse so you can split the album and play the portion that suits your taste. LEMONADE, only 1 portion available.

  13. SipTheTruth August 19, 2016

    How much has rihanna SOLD though with ALL those hits? That’s the real tea
