Pop Smoke‘s second studio album ‘Faith’ arrived this week amidst ample anticipation.

Comprised of 20-tracks, the set was formally announced with a little lead-in – which only elevated buzz around the project.

The LP serves as the late MC’s second posthumous effort and follows mega-selling ‘Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon’ – which was released months after his tragic death aged just 20.

Boasting an all-star list of guests such as Kanye West, Chris Brown, Dua Lipa, and Future in the mix, all eyes are peeled to see whether Pop’s new collection soars to similar heights.

The first-week sales forecast is here and brings with it the answer.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Alessia Cara, Conan Gray, LANY, and Nina Nesbitt.
