\n\t21 Savage<\/a> banks his fifth overall \u2013 and consecutive \u2013 No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums<\/a> chart as What Happened to the Streets? starts atop the list dated Dec. 27. The set, on Slaughter Gang\/Epic Records, earned 73,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the Dec. 12-18 tracking week, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat Happened to the Streets? was a semi-surprise from 21 Savage, with its official announcement<\/a> on Dec. 8, four days before its release. Its track list contains features from major hip-hop stars including familiar collaborators Drake, Lil Baby and Metro Boomin as well as G Herbo, GloRilla and Latto.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the first-week total for What Happened to the Streets?, streaming activity contributed 48,000 units, representing 65.8 million official on-demand audio and video streams of the album\u2019s songs. 25,000 units came from traditional album sales, while a negligible amount of track-equivalent album units. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 1,250 paid\/subscription tier or 3,750 ad-supported tier of official on-demand audio and video streams for a song on the album.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWith his new album, 21 Savage achieves his fifth No. 1 on Top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums, encompassing his last five appearances on the list for a streak-extending stretch. He first ruled with I Am > I Was, a two-week leader in January 2019, returned to the summit via collaborative projects with Metro Boomin (Savage Mode II, a one-week leader in October 2020) and Drake (Her Loss \u2013 four weeks on top in November \u2013 December 2022), and logged the three-week solo champ American Dream in January-February 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, What Happened to the Streets? arrives as 21 Savage\u2019s sixth No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums <\/a>chart and at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the album\u2019s win, 13 of its tracks crash onto the Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a> chart, led by the Drake teamup \u201cMr Recoup\u201d at No. 4. Its entrance secures 21 Savage\u2019s 37th top 10 on the ranking, while Drake extends his all-time record to 143 in the top tier.<\/p>\n
