Doja Cat‘s fifth studio album ‘Vie‘ hit digital shelves on Friday (September 26) and was almost instantly greeted with critical acclaim from her dedicated fans (affectionately called #Kittens) and industry critics.

Laden with 80’s-inspired cuts like its lead singles ‘Jealous Type,‘ ‘Gorgeous,’ and ‘Stranger,’ the 15-track set – despite boasting SZA as its only guest star – is chockfull of contributions from producer and songwriter extraordinaires like Jack Antonoff, Gavin Bennett, Ari Starace, Sounwave, Y2K, and more.

Not only braving high expectations given the Billboard 200 top 10 placements of its three predecessors ‘Hot Pink,’ ‘Planet HER,’ and ‘Scarlet,’ ‘Vie’ entered its race to the chart’s summit with stiff competition in the form of Young Thug and Mariah Carey.

Chance the Rapper‘s sophomore studio effort (the August 15-released ‘Star Line‘) may have started strong with its #22 opening on the Billboard 200, but the star-studded project vanished from the chart just a week later.

“Ride, just enjoy the ride, just enjoy the ride / Trust, you gon’ be alright, we gon’ be alright / But if they wanna fight, it’s gon’ be a fight / Just get your brothers right, and they gon’ ride, ride,” he raps over DexLvL production.
