As evidenced by its short stay on the Billboard 200, August Alsina fans weren’t all that crazy about his long-awaited third studio album, ‘State of Emergency’ (2020), or the Jada Pinkett-Smith “entanglement” drama that preceded its release.

Yet, a recent announcement from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) suggests they are still in love with offerings from his debut studio effort (2014’s ‘Testimony’) – namely the hits ‘I Luv This Sh*t’ and ‘No Love.’

It’s no uncommon occurrence for an artist to dominate digital download and streaming outlets in the wake of news of his or her death. It is uncommon, however, when a fallen performer is so popular that his or her work posthumously dominates the Billboard charts to the tune of career highs.  The latter is the case for the late DMX.

As we reported here, fans and supporters of the 50-year-old – who succumbed to complications from a heart attack reportedly caused by a drug overdose – rushed out to buy and stream his greatest hits as reports surfaced of his passing.  The uptick in streaming and digital download activity led to impress re-entries on the Hot 100 this week.
