It’s only March, but rapper Lil Uzi Vert has already set the bar very high for the rest of the year’s anticipated music releases.
As we reported here, the Grammy nominee sprung a surprise on fans by releasing his sophomore album – ‘Eternal Atake’ – a week early. Soaring to #1 on the refreshed Billboard 200, the effort nearly sold 300,000 copies its first week (making it the best-selling LP by a solo act this year to date).
Its domination isn’t limited to the album charts, however. Look inside to see what we mean:
Peruse of the Billboard Hot 100 shows the hitmaker concurrently occupies a whopping 20 positions, 3 in the top 10 alone. A record-setting feat, Vert is now the third (and youngest) artist in history to place that many songs on the singles chart at once (following Drake and Lil Wayne).
As it relates to the top 10, he is the fourth and youngest artist in history – following Drake, Lil Wayne, and J. Cole – to DEBUT three songs in that region of the charts simultaneously.
