The Patterson, N.J., native’s No. 1 start follows a series of hits from the rapper earlier in 2015. He already has logged three top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Trap Queen” (peaking at No. 2), “679” (No. 5) and “My Way” (No. 7).
75,000
Fetty Wap‘s bow is powered by 75,000 in pure album sales, with the remainder of its 129,000-unit total earned from track-equivalent and streaming-equivalent albums (thanks to the set’s successful singles).

The rapper is the first hip-hop act to have a debut studio album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in more than two years. The last to do so was ASAP Rocky, who opened atop the chart on Feb. 2, 2012 with Long.Live.A$AP.
